In October 2023 the October Horrors started with our all-new ebook fiction bundle, Ellen Datlow Presents Tales of Terror, featuring horror anthologies curated by masterful editor Ellen Datlow as well as other fiction from Tachyon Publications. For more than three decades Ellen Datlow, winner of multiple Hugo, Bram Stoker, and World Fantasy awards, has kept her finger on the racing pulse of the horror genre, introducing readers to writers whose tales can unnerve, frighten, and terrify. This Tales of Terror offer included seven fine Datlow anthologies with stories by Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, George R. R. Martin, Peter Straub, Clive Barker, Poppy Z. Brite, Thomas Ligotti, Ramsey Campbell, and dozens more – plus a novel by Tim Powers, a best-of collection by Joe R. Lansdale, and lots more – 4,700 pages of terrific reading for an unbeatable bargain price.
(Check out the Internet Speculative Fiction Database for the listings of all seven Ellen Datlow Tachyon Publications anthologies.)
There were four titles in our Terror Sampler (retail value $40), including two comprehensive Datlow anthologies surveying 30 years of the horror field – Darkness: Two Decades of Modern Horror and Nightmares: A New Decade of Modern Horror – along with Beyond Frankenstein: The Complete Supernatural Short Fiction of Mary Shelley and the World Fantasy Award-winning novella by Daryl Gregory, We Are All Completely Fine.
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our Complete Collection with nine more ebooks worth an additional $90, including The Stress of Her Regard by Tim Powers, The Best of Joe R. Lansdale, The Very Best of Caitlín R. Kiernan, Slipping by Lauren Beukes, and five more horror anthologies edited by Ellen Datlow: Body Shocks, The Cutting Room: Dark Reflections of the Silver Screen, Hauntings, Lovecraft’s Monsters, and The Monstrous.
(Note: Although our friends at DriveThruRPG and DriveThruFiction host many Bundle of Holding offers, none of these Tachyon Publications titles are available on DriveThru.)
Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) was donated to the charity designated by Tachyon Publishing, the Horror Writers Association. The HWA is a nonprofit organization of writers and publishing professionals around the world, dedicated to promoting dark literature and the interests of those who write it.
