In an effort to help get the word out for Brian James Freeman's new e-book of short horror stories, Seven Stories in a Kindle version.
Brian is the amanging editor of the horror magazine Cemetary Dance which I have followed since it's 1st issue.
In addition to my music and movie collections I am an admitted book junkie. Collecting books even to the extent of causing physical harm to my person. One of the ways I have been able curtail some of the physical challanges of "real" books (such as space) has been the advent of e-books. It has still been difficult to pry my creaking fingers off of standard printed books but I try to limit hardcover books to collectables like 1st editions, and signed copies.
Here's a good way to start your collection.
This is a rundown on the e-book and each story.

available individually on Amazon.
Freeman's best work has always been his short fiction, which is haunting and beautifully written. These stories feature characters who are searching for answers to deeply troubling questions, and there's often a real emotional punch before you reach the end.

Answering the Call:A young man's very unusual job is taking a heavy toll on him. He stays in homes during the owner's funeral.
