This one if for a sure-fire coming-of-age masterpiece. The Window is one of the best reads this year!

Hey all! Apologies, I lied! There will most likely be three posts from me today!
That’s because Jim at Oneleggedreviews.com kindly did another review for me! Much like Wagon Buddy, Jim took a read through YURI!

Hello all! This will be post 1 of 2 today!
Happy release day to YURI my twisted haunted house tale! This one was a lot of fun and there are a few spots in the story that will leave you feeling a little dirty!
I will run all the numbers coming up and post about my free week of promo’s that just happened!
Grab YURI!
Hey all! Today marks the last day of free ebook promo’s leading up to the release of my novella YURI on October 1st!
Today’s offering is my most recent release, the novella Wagon Buddy!
“Hello Scott,” the creature said, its voice deep and tasting like dirt.
Synopsis:
You ever have an imaginary friend? You know, that made up person that was always there for you, always willing to play with you and letting you confide in them?
“Scott, you wouldn’t like my real name. So how about you just call me your wagon buddy?”
What if your imaginary friend turned out to be real? And not a person at all?
Wagon Buddy tells the tale of a man and his creature, his only friend, who time and time again comes to his aide.
But what happens when you can’t control the creature anymore?
“A fresh and original suspenseful tale with shades of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Steve Stred weaves an amazing story about a childhood connection that grows more sinister and dangerous with age.
After an imaginary friend turns out to be real, and not human at all, a man must make a choice.
Exciting, thrilling, addictively entertaining, Wagon Buddy is a 2018 must read!”
Seb Jenkins, Author of Life After Death
Day 4 of the free ebooks! Today see’s my latest collection of short stories Left Hand Path: 13 more tales of black magick available for free!!
Synopsis:
Do you remember the first time, you heard something go bump in the night?
Or when you first played with the Ouija board and it moved on its own?
What about the last time a movie or book scared you so badly, that you had to turn on all of your lights and make sure your feet were not hanging over the edge?
If any of this rings true, something probably caused you to find this book.
Within this book, the author of Frostbitten: 12 Hymns of Misery, Invisible, Yuri and Wagon Buddy returns to ensure you will be looking behind you frequently while reading.
Left Hand Path: 13 More Tales of Black Magick collects all new tales filled with depravity and retribution. Brimming with horror, thrills and creepy chills, the reader is sure to find the hairs standing up on the back of their necks and the occult themes causing them to question the true nature of the lights flickering.
When all is said and done, when you finally finish reading this batch of stories, you will have found that at some point, you locked the doors, checked under the bed, and made sure all of the closet doors are closed.
You have been warned.
Thank you all so much so far! The response has been fantastic! To continue to celebrate and push towards the release of my novella Yuri, today marks day 3 of the free promotion!
Today’s offering is Frostbitten: 12 Hymns of Misery, my recently released collection!
Snag it friends!
