January 27th is a special day, and not just because it's when we'll start offering a special hardcover edition of The Gullwing Odyssey.

The book is a four-time award-winning fantasy/comedy adventure chock full of pirates, dragons, wizards, and knights. Set in a fifteenth-century fantasy world, the book follows the misadventures of Marco Gullwing, a lowly letter carrier, who becomes the hero he never thought he'd be.

With the imminent release of Shadows And Teeth, Volume 2, we're inclined to give you something special, absolutely free. Think of it as a taste of the horror that lies ahead, an aperitif of fear before the main course is served at midnight on April 30th.

In Toll Road, a professional kidnapper gets more than he bargained for when his latest abduction leads to terrifying supernatural encounters on the Florida Turnpike. This short story is just one of ten tales of extreme horror contained within Shadows And Teeth, Volume 2. It's a unique collection featuring a range of international talent: award-winning authors, masters of horror, rising stars, and fresh new voices in the genre.

Click the button below to download your free copy of Toll Road, and stick around for the launch of Shadows And Teeth #2​ in April. If you want more horror, Shadows And Teeth #1 is out now. But take care, for the things here bite, and you may withdraw a hand short of a few fingers.
