The Bump in the Night Thriller Bundle - Curated by Kevin J. Anderson

If you're ready for summer thrills and chills (ones that don't even require air conditioning), I'm happy to show off the brand new "Bump in the Night Thrillers" StoryBundle, which just launched today. Sixteen suspenseful, fun, and entertaining reads.

You name your own price, get the eBooks via instant download in your preferred format. You support indie authors, and a portion of the proceeds goes directly to charity, to support the worthy cause of the Challenger Learning Centers for Space Science Education.

The bundle books include compelling urban fantasy reads with some of the strangest detectives you've ever met, including Dan Shamble Zombie P.I. in my own Unnatural Acts, as well as ghosts, elves, vampires, sorceresses, modern-day dragon slayers, immortal Shakespearean characters, and more in Dean Wesley Smith's The Deep Sunset, R.R. Virdi's Grave Beginnings, Patrick Hester's Into the Fire, Susan Sizemore's Living Dead Girl, J.A. Pitt's Night Terrors, L. Jagi Lamplighter's Prospero Lost, Alex Berg's Red Hot Steele and Cold Hard Steele.

For thrilling adventures in other times and places, there's Death Wind by Travis Heermann and Jim Pinto and Lady Sherlock by Brooks Wachtel. For straight suspense with a high-tech or a darker edge, you'll enjoy the Daredevils Club novel Artifact written by me, F. Paul Wilson, Matthew J. Costello, and Janet Berliner, and The Demon in Business Class by Anthony Dobranski, Whack Job by Mike Baron, and The Devil's Churn by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. If you like all kinds of fast-paced fiction, there's the new anthology Pulse Pounders 2: Adrenaline.

The bundle is only available through August 16. Get a huge bundle of reading material, help support indie authors, as well as the Challenger Center.
