Here at the Dreadful Tales offices the holiday feeling is in the air as we gear up toward the end of the year.  This is a time for giving so, with that in mind, here is some free fiction we found while poking about the internet.  Enjoy!

Here is an excerpt from up and comer, Jonathan Janz.  Jonathan’s first novel, The Sorrows, will be arriving toward the beginning of December but he was nice enough to post an excerpt on his site.  I like the vibe of this one and will certainly be checking this out.  Head over to Jonathan’s website and judge for yourself.

One of my favorite pleasures is finding public domain stories on the internet and HP Lovecraft’s, The Shadow Over Innsmouth has to be my most read piece of free fiction.  I’ve spent hours reading the dense prose and cowering in the claustrophobic atmosphere of this classic story.  I encourage everyone to read this– either for the first time or for the hundredth time.
