Victorian Oddities and the Steampunk Fantasy StoryBundle!

February 18, 2023 By Kari Kilgore

Fantasy Steampunk Bundle

One of the frequent foundations in steampunk fiction—whether fantasy is included or not—is elements from the Victorian Era to go with the awesome gadgets and steam power and fashion.

One of my favorite things about the Victorian Era is how very strange it was.

Nowhere near as prim and proper as it seems on the surface.

You’ll find plenty of adventurous takes on steampunk, fantasy, and our fascinating inheritance from the Victorians in this StoryBundle. Read on for more about The Dream Thief and the other wonderful stories!

May 31, 2022 By Kari Kilgore

Visions of the Future Bundle 2022

I couldn’t be happier to see The Becalmed included in the wonderful Visions of the Future StoryBundle! From this story’s origins on the beautiful Oregon Coast, to many touches of my home in the Appalachian Mountains, to seeing it with such brilliant company in this bundle, this truly has been an amazing journey.

This bundle is only available for a limited time, so pick yours up before it’s too late.

And read on for the ever-expanding worlds inside my head and Appalachia in Space!

The Aliens Among Us StoryBundle, and Farm Country in Space!

March 24, 2022 By Kari Kilgore

Aliens Among Us StoryBundle images

I couldn’t be happier to have my story Restricted Species included in the Aliens Among Us StoryBundle! My tale of the perils of galactic agriculture keeps fantastic company with a bunch of my favorite writers, all with a different fascinating take on aliens.

I’ll let our curator Dean Wesley Smith tell you a little more about Restricted Species, and be sure to click through to read more about all the wonderful stories you can grab for a great low price. Plenty of chances for your next alien-forward reading escape, but be sure to check it out before time runs out!

“In this short novel, Restricted Species, Kari Kilgore takes us to a xeno-farming planet. Amazing how many things can go wrong on a simple farming planet when aliens get into the mix. And Kari keeps us reading right to the last detail.”

Read on for more about how Restricted Species came to life in my imagination, and pick up the whole bundle to enjoy your visits with aliens in all these amazing stories!

Last Chance for the Holiday Collections StoryBundle, and the Week In-Between

December 30, 2021 By Kari Kilgore

Holiday Collections Bundle

I hope this finds you well and enjoying the December holidays, no matter how you celebrate them (or not). If reading is on your list for this strange in-between week, or if you have a reader in your life, there’s still time to pick up the wonderful Holiday Collections StoryBundle!

You’ll get seventy-two (yep, 72) holiday-themed short stories by a group of amazing writers. And both the excellent Annie Reed and I are offering bonus collections of holiday shorts, so you can get even more escapes for the incredible low price of $15. My collection is actually an anthology my husband Jason A. Adams and I put together called Uncommon Holidays: A Different Side of the Season.

And even though the major gift-giving days has passed for many people, this is a great chance to make the readers in your life happy. You can also donate to AbleGamers, a charity dedicated to creating connection where it’s needed most, at a time when so many people need it.

But this amazing StoryBundle ends one day before December and 2021 do, so check it out before time runs out!
