Free SF, Fantasy and Horror Fiction for 12/19/2012

Fewer thefts than usual from Dave Tackett… well, I did steal the contents of his sock drawer as well, but I deeply regret that decision already.

Did you really think I wouldn’t mention my Contemporary Fantasy Collection again? Suckers! Catholic Guilt and the Joy of Hating Men is now on sale at Amazon for $1.00. This low price is only temporary, just like your upcoming hiatus from my attempts at shilling. (And just so you know how deep this conspiracy goes, SF Signal gets a pittance for every copy sold.)

What’s special about today’s free fiction?

1. Person-I’ve-Heard-Of, Krista D. Ball, has a short story for free on Kindle.
2. Other-Person-I’ve-Heard-Of, David Adams, has a short story and a novel free on Kindle.
3. I forgot to mention David Scholes’ science fiction collection yesterday. Grab it today or regret it forever!
