Today we feature the list of April 2010 digital bestsellers at the Horror Mall.
One of the things I like best about eBooks — be it full length novels, chapbook reprints or short stories — is the cost. You can purchase eBooks from Horror Mall that are a fraction of the cost of the hardcover or even trade paperback.
This week, for instance, you can pick up two books by David Jack Bell — The Girl In The Woods and The Condemned each for almost a third of the paperback cost.
Great stories at a great price.

Clown in the MoonlightAuthor: Piccirilli, Tom |
|
|
An exclusive, original short story by Tom Piccirilli. A lonely, middle-aged ex-con with nothing to lose meets a woman who excites and infuriates him. He soon finds himself caught up in a night of partying, mischief-making, and white magic rituals that are supposed to bless the gatherers against evil. Instead, another kind of malevolence is set free . . . |

What Steven FoundAuthor: Bell, David Jack |
|
|
Steven lives alone. He spends his days killing time — hunting on his land or reading the newspaper at the library. Then Steven finds something in the woods. Something to do with the girl who disappeared from the town. And it changes his life in ways he couldn’t imagine. |

Just Outside Our Windows, Deep Inside Our WallsAuthor: Hodge, Brian |
|
|
He knows all about living alone. Knows all about life on the top floor, on the other side of the locks that keep him there. It’s not a bad life. Lots of other kids have it worse, and he has everything he wants. Except for paper and pencils. He did a terrible thing once, with nothing more than a drawing and dislike, to someone who will never be right again. When Roni moves in next door for the summer, singing enigmatic songs in the window across from him, it’s the beginning of a new adventure: friendship, and a secret line to the world outside. Summer always ends, though, and guests have to go home. But friendship means forever. No matter what the cost to life and limb. Just Outside Our Windows, Deep Inside Our Walls is a haunting story of childhood’s random cruelties, and how its power can be reclaimed in uncompromising ways, by the author that Caitlin Kiernan has called “one of the most marvelously irreverent voices in dark fantasy today.” |

A Book of TonguesAuthor: Files, Gemma |
|
|
Two years after the Civil War, Pinkerton agent Ed Morrow has gone undercover with one of the weird West’s most dangerous outlaw gangs — the troop led by “Reverend” Asher Rook, ex-Confederate chaplain turned “hexslinger,” and his notorious lieutenant (and lover) Chess Pargeter. Morrow’s task: get close enough to map the extent of Rook’s power, then bring that knowledge back to help Professor Joachim Asbury unlock the secrets of magic itself. Magicians, cursed by their gift to a solitary and painful existence, have never been more than a footnote in history. But Rook, driven by desperation, has a plan to shatter the natural law that prevents hexes from cooperation, and change the face of the world — a plan sealed by an unholy marriage — oath with the goddess Ixchel, mother of all hanged men. To accomplish this, he must raise her bloodthirsty pantheon from its collective grave through sacrifice, destruction, and apotheosis. Caught between a passel of dead gods and monsters, hexes galore, Rook’s witchery, and the ruthless calculations of his own masters, Morrow’s only real hope of survival lies with the man without whom Rook cannot succeed: Chess Pargeter himself. But Morrow and Chess will have to literally ride through Hell before the truth of Chess’s fate comes clear — the doom written for him, and the entire world. |

The CondemnedAuthor: Bell, David Jack |
|
|
The world is at war . . . the city is dying . . . and those left for dead within its walls have awakened . . . A terrorist attack on the water supply has left the city quarantined by the army and inhabited by the City People, the mindless living dead who rule the urban night. Jett Dormer works for the government. During the day he and his partner Vince drive a wrecker, collecting abandoned cars from the city’s dying core, scrap metal to feed the nation’s raging war machine. They finish their work before nightfall and return to home base outside the city and then to their wives and families. Until the day Jett and Vince are overrun by a horde of City People, and only Jett makes it out. Plagued by nightmares and wracked with guilt for having left his best friend behind, Jett returns to work, hoping to provide for his family. But his new partner, a wounded veteran known only as the Kid, won’t let Jett forget what happened to Vince. And he wont let Jett forget that Vince might not be entirely dead. You’re never going to feel right, or be right, as long as he’s out there . . . Soon Jett and the Kid are on a mission to find Vince and bring whatever’s left of him home. But as their city raids grow bloodier, Jett finds himself increasingly under the mysterious influence of his new partner. And just as his murderous rage for the City People grows nearly out of control, he realizes things may not be exactly as they appear. The night, and those who control it — the City People — hold many secrets. Secrets that might just set Jett free . . . or destroy him and everything he holds dear. |

There’s No Place in a Sleeping World for a Wakeful ManAuthor: Calvillo, Michael Louis |
|
|
Sleep is way overrated — just ask the narrator of the lovely, lunatic short, There’s No Place in a Sleeping World for a Wakeful Man. Worried, but increasingly amazed by his inability to fall asleep, Our Man finds that life, Awake, All the Time, is the only way to live. Suddenly, just, like, that, irksome little things like work, and wishy-washy girlfriends, and Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, do not bug him in the least. I mean, how could they? How could anything get him down while he feels so fresh and fantastic and ready? How could anything disrupt the even jitter that has turned his life from a country western song to a pop-rock burst of sugar-sweet joy? Well, there is the slightly, probable possibility that he’s come down with Fatal Familial Insomnia, a degenerative disorder that may or may not be driving him crazy. There’s the chance that he’ll never sleep again and go insane and be dead within the year. But really, who cares? Who cares? Not Our Man. No, no, no. Not Our Man and the monster cocks dancing in his peripheral, or the assaulting shadows crowding his otherwise sunny thoughts. No, not Our Man and the beckoning butcher knives that won’t stop begging him to get out there and wake the rest of the world. |

The Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs and The Currently Accepted Habits Of NatureAuthor: Wilson, David Niall |
|
|
“All that grows must decompose.” When Cletus J. Diggs gets a visit from his buddy Jasper and learns about the dead man sticking boot-first out of the fishing hole, he has no idea what it will lead to. How could he? Old Mill is famous for a lot of things, good fishing, barbecue, over-sized satellite dishes and disappearing beer; it is not known for genetic research, ancient rituals, or alien abduction. From the moment Cletus and Sheriff Bob drag the corpse from the fishing hole to the final moments of terror, the action is non-stop, tense, and filled with surprises. Between the Reverend Dozier and his church, the swamp witch, the albino twins, and the local lodge’s well-hidden secrets, the strange events in Old Mill, NC are pretty much out of control. Only Cletus, ordained minister, common law attorney, journalist, private investigator and jack of all trades can draw together the people and resources necessary to set things right. The question is, can he do it before it’s too late? |

The Girl In The WoodsAuthor: Bell, David Jack |
|
|
When Diana Greene leaves her hometown for a new life, she thinks she has left the past behind: her sister’s disappearance, her mother’s illness, and the visions Diana used to see . . . a clearing in the woods . . . a moonlit night . . . and human bones buried in the ground. And her past remains dormant until the day a mysterious woman appears on Diana’s doorstep, promising Diana something she can’t resist. “If you help me find my missing daughter, I’ll tell you what happened to your sister.” Soon Diana is digging into the past, uncovering secrets the town has long since buried, secrets that the powerful wish would stay hidden. But when another girl disappears and the visions return to Diana with a vengeance, she knows she is on the brink of solving more than just a few missing person’s cases. She is on the brink of discovering the dark and violent covenant that the town itself was founded upon. |
