Take One at Bedtime by Jenny Twist


 
Nobody ever goes upstairs in Margaret's house. So what is making the strange thumping noises up there? And why is there a toy rabbit under the kitchen table?

Margaret's Ghost is just one of a collection of short stories consisting mainly of horror and science fiction, ranging from a classic gothic tale – Jack Trevellyn – to the Wyndhamesque Victim of Fortune, and the modern Waiting for Daddy, with its spine-chilling twist.

There is also the occasional excursion into romance with A Castle in Spain and Jess's Girl.

But most of these tales take you to a place which is not quite as it seems.

It's bedtime now. Time to go upstairs. Time to take a look. Just one look.

WARNING: Do not exceed the stated dose.


I confess.  I’m an addict.  Most nights I exceeded the prescribed dosage because I just couldn’t put the darned Kindle down.  I’m not normally a horror fan, but I do like suspense with a good twist at the end.  Hitchcock and Rod Serling would be duly impressed by these tales and I could see them showing up on either master’s television program.  Further praise I cannot give.

So, go ahead—take one at bedtime.  I dare you.


Length:  108 Pages

Price:  E-Book $5.99
            Print:  $12.51


You’ll notice I always include the publisher’s buy link.  That’s because authors usually receive 40% of the book price from the publisher.  Editors and cover artists usually receive about 5%.  When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the author, editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left.  So, if a book costs $5.99 at E-Book Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author will receive about $2.40.  If you buy the book at Amazon, the author will receive about $0.83.

Downloading the file from your computer to your Kindle is as easy as transferring any file from your computer to a USB flash drive.  Plug the USB end of your chord into a USB port on your computer and simply move the file from your “Downloads” box to your Kindle/Documents/Books directory.  I actually download my books using “Save As” to a “Books” file on my computer that’s sorted by my publisher, friends, and books “to review,” and then transfer them to my Kindle from there.  That way, if there’s a glitch with my Kindle, the books are on my computer.  Your author will be happy you did when he/she sees his/her royalty statement.

  4. Jenny: I only give good reviews to books that deserve them and yours do. You may notice Domingo's Angel is now up. I'm still getting used to the new Blogger layout. ;-/

    Tara: You don't have to grovel to get me to review your books, but beware-I will be honest. ;-)
