Free Book Friday – Monsters, Monsters, Everywhere
Free book promo for today and tomorrow. On the Kindle. Free. Get a free book. Get a free good book, with intense and unique monsters from a variety of genres.
Today and tomorrow, my book Monsters, Monsters, Everywhere, which is a collection of short stories spanning horror, science fiction, and fantasy is FREE on the Kindle.
There are dragons, weird unnamed creatures that feed on emptiness, Selkie’s, robots, and much more. I love a good monster, and I absolutely deliver said monsters in this book. Description below:
An ancient werewolf laments his annual, blood-soaked pilgrimage. A doll comes to life only when your fear gives it motivation. Empty spaces are a feeding ground for an ancient monster. A mother dragon will fight through anything for her stolen future. After a random tragedy at the hands of a flying nightmare, a sky pirate visits a haunted grave. A demon followed across a continent, pauses for a very human vanity. Robots in an apocalyptic hellscape need a purpose, even if there is no one to witness it. Mysterious gravestones and highways twist the ordinary into hells for a pair of friends and family. A young woman laments her true, mystical identity in the waves of a stormy sea.

Take a look at this early peek into the […]https://heathercongrove.com/2026/09/25/behind-the-scenes-part-9/
