Today we feature the list of May 2010 digital bestsellers at the Horror Mall.
The thing I really like about the ebooks available at Horror Mall is that old and out-of-print titles have begun appearing.
For example: Bill Crider, a mystery novelist, published a few horror novels in the late 1980′s and early 1990′s with Zebra Books under the pen name Jack MacLane. Last month, two of his books, reprinted as eBooks by Macabre Ink Digital, were the 5th and 10th best selling eBook.
Great stories at a great price.

Just Outside Our Windows, Deep Inside Our Walls
Author: Hodge, Brian
Format: Digital eBook
Formats: PDF, EPUB and MOBI for Kindle and Mobipocket
Type: Horror Short Story
Publisher: Darkside Digital

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.”

You wake to find a stranger in your home. An unearthly figure with skin like volcanic glass, as unmoving as a statue, staring into space. But it’s you the figure is watching. And you aren’t alone. There is one of these beings for every man, woman and child on Earth.
In Jeffrey Thomas’ eerie new short story, a mysterious race dubbed the Spectators has come to observe us in our homes. But where do they come from, and what do they hope to learn from us? What does their presence mean for humankind . . . and specifically, for one man who has reached the limits of personal suffering?
The Spectators is a story about mysteries from beyond — and the mysteries we face each day, inside our hearts and minds — from the acclaimed author of Punktown and Letters From Hades.

Little harry wasn’t like other children
Harry never cared for reading or writing. He never showed any interest in baseball or TV. Harry lived for other things — like the pleasing sound of living creatures screaming in agony. And the soothing feel of warm blood running through his fingers.
But when his grisly experiments progressed beyond stray pets and farm animals to classmates, Harry’s dad decided to lock the boy away for good in the family basement. After all, the neighbors might begin to talk . . .
In the solitude of the dank, musty cellar, Harry waited and grew . . . and grew . . . and GREW!
And while he waited, he was counseled by his one and only friend — the bright silvery orb in the inight sky that he called “Moom.” Harry spoke to Moom. And Moom spoke to Harry. Moom told Harry what he should do when he finally broke out of his subterranean prison . . .
Moom told Harry to kill . . .
and Kill . . .
and KILL . . .
