Free books

Here's the thing.  Most of the books I've been getting rid of in the past few weeks have either been sent to Goodwill or sold on eBay.  But I'm sick of writing up eBay listings, and the box of books I'm looking at now is a bit too specialist-interest to send to Goodwill.  It's a lot of small press horror fiction.  And since this is a horror fiction blog, I thought I might as offer these books to the few people who will stumble across this post.

These books are absolutely free, including shipping (which will be Media Mail in the US and whatever's cheapest for overseas). [Edited later to add: I hadn't realized how pricey overseas shipping would be now that the cheap surface mail options have been discontinued.  Overseas buyers, if you're asking for more than one book, it would be great if you could donate about $10 US to cover shipping fees.]  If you want to make a donation of whatever amount, there's a PayPal button over on the right; mark it as a gift so I don't get charged fees.  But if you don't want to make a donation, that's fine.  Free means free, after all.

Comment to claim book(s).  I'll confirm that everything's available, and you can e-mail me a mailing address at brendan(dot)moody(at)gmail(dot)com.

This offer is ongoing.  As long as an item isn't crossed out in the list below and hasn't been claimed in comments, the book is available, even if this post is months old.

  1. As a Brit, I'd be interested in The British Invasion, if only to see what we're sending over the Atlantic...

  2. All right, Malcolm. E-mail me your mailing address and I'll send the book out on Monday or Tuesday. It'd be great if you could PayPal me a few dollars to cover part of the shipping costs (which total about $10-12 US), but don't feel pressured.

  3. Rats, I'd have grabbed my collection from you had I seen this in time.
