New "Serial" is up! Free and giveaway

I visited the Hachette Group booksite about the book I reviewed earlier, AFRAID, by Jack Kilborn and found that new novella has been posted on the site.

Jack partnered with Blake Crouch to write a novella that will give you chills. These men know how to scare you.

Don't hitchhike or pick up a hitchhiker - it's dangerous!

You can read the book as an e-book or as I did, as a PDF file. The print is nice and big and it was easy to read on my screen.

I'd recommend not reading this one at night...

Here is the link to it: http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/books_9780446535939.htm

Go down to the lower right corner where it offers Book Extras and pick the type you'd like to download.

I sat right here and read the whole thing this afternoon, I had no desire to stop in the middle!

It also has information about the authors, an interview, and a preview of their two books that are soon to be available.

And, another nice touch: Hachette Book Group has agreed to offer five more copies of Afraid by Jack Kilborn. Just leave a comment here on my blog, then email me at info@bookfaerie.com with your name and address and why you'd like to have the book. Please note that Hachette is limiting the contest to those who reside in the US and Canada.

If you've forgotten what I had to say about it in my review, here's the link to that post:

Now you can scare yourself again and maybe even get a free book!

Afraid by Jack Kilborn

This book has the potential of causing you nightmares...

Imagine a small secluded town in the mountains where everyone knows everyone and life is very laid back.

Imagine a group of five superhuman warriors coming to town with the intention of killing everyone there... This group of monsters have been highly trained to cause pain, most are psychotic, all are killers, and they have very unusual tastes...

I've read a lot horror stories, but this book still got to me. It's a mad scientist who wants to cleanse the world, like Hitler's vision, and he's given these monsters computer chips in their brains to make them faster, their skin is bulletproof, and they have permission to pull off whatever atrocities they want as long as they get the man they're going after.

I couldn't put it down after I started it. They are very successful at what they do, I can tell you that!
