Hi—I offer this in case you think it may be of interest to your readers: Beginning [today], for one week, readers will be able to download the entire text of the new novella There Was a Crooked Man by Edward Morris. After that time, readers will be able to register for free reading-group access to the novella on BookGlutton.com, and an ongoing web-serial (Death, Inc.) in the same world will be available, free, on the There Was a Crooked Man page on the Mercury Retrograde Press site.
I got a preview of the special website and book yesterday and it looks fascinating.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Welcome to the world of master fabulist Edward Morris, where History has been pulled down a Hieronymus Bosch rabbit-hole and everything makes far too much sense. In this first volume of Morris’s alternate history tour de force, on an East Coast two centuies after Armageddon, a rogue soldier throws himself back in Time to wreak havoc upon History and feed on the blood in the streets. He lands in the New World with the first white settlers. The Irrakwa try to stop him. And from two centuries ahead, the law tries to follow him back…
Dare to step inside.
History is only one of the things you will never see in quite the same way again.

Thank you very much for sharing this with your readers–and for your kind words! I hope everyone gets a kick out of this series; I would have published it even if I didn’t think others would share my enthusiasm.
