A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

Last year, we gave away a small MEGAPACK® of great horror tales on our web site for Halloween. It was meant as a one-time freebie on Free Ebook Tuesday (we give away a free ebook almost every Tuesday). But because it has an original story, we decided to release it for everyone to read, and it proved quite popular.

Here is our second Halloween MEGAPACK®—also a free giveaway on our web site, also with an original story (this time a collaboration between H.B. Fyfe and me).

Our “collaboration” is actually an unsold story written in the 1950s by the late Fyfe that I discovered among his papers. (I suspect it was written with Weird Tales in mind, and though flawed—there was a reason it didn’t sell—I liked the core idea enough to revise it. Now, I think I’ve solved its problems and come up with a story that more than stands on its own. I hope you agree.

Enjoy!

ABOUT THE SERIES

Over the last few years, our MEGAPACK® ebook series has grown to be our most popular endeavor. (Maybe it helps that we sometimes offer them as premiums to our mailing list!) One question we keep getting asked is, “Who’s the editor?”

The MEGAPACK® ebook series (except where specifically credited) are a group effort. Everyone at Wildside works on them. This includes John Betancourt (me), Carla Coupe, Steve Coupe, Shawn Garrett, Helen McGee, Bonner Menking, Sam Cooper, Helen McGee and many of Wildside’s authors…who often suggest stories to include (and not just their own!)

RECOMMEND A FAVORITE STORY?

Do you know a great classic science fiction story, or have a favorite author whom you believe is perfect for the MEGAPACK® ebook series? We’d love your suggestions! You can post them on our message board at http://movies.ning.com/forum (there is an area for Wildside Press comments).

Note: we only consider stories that have already been professionally published. This is not a market for new works.

TYPOS

Unfortunately, as hard as we try, a few typos do slip through. We update our ebooks periodically, so make sure you have the current version (or download a fresh copy if it’s been sitting in your ebook reader for months.) It may have already been updated.

If you spot a new typo, please let us know. We’ll fix it for everyone. You can email the publisher at wildsidepress@yahoo.com or use the message boards above.
