They're Watching by Michael David Wilson and Bob Pastorella FREE on Kindle Today | More House of Bad Memories Audiobook Codes | Todd Keisling on This Is Horror Podcast


Happy Friday the 13th, friends!

To celebrate such a day in horror, you can read THEY’RE WATCHING by Michael David Wilson and Bob Pastorella free-of-charge on Amazon Kindle. This is the first time we have run a Kindle promotion for They’re Watching. The promotion is live right now and will stay open until Tuesday, September 17, 2024, 11:59 PM PDT.

You could read all the details about the promotion here but honestly, it's just as simple as it's free on Amazon worldwide and you can get it in one click, so here are links to just a few Amazon sites to grab THEY'RE WATCHING.

They're Watching on Amazon US

They're Watching on Amazon UK

Bob and I would love it if you were to add it to your Kindle. We really want more people to discover this story we worked so hard on. Additionally, the more people who pick it up for free, the more it will bring attention to THEY'RE WATCHING as it climbs up the Amazon rankings. So please pick up a copy for yourself and encourage a friend (or two or three) to do likewise.

THEY'RE WATCHING was released a few weeks before I experienced the worst two years of my life so I didn't get to promote it as well as I wanted to but this is a second chance. Thank you in advance for all your support and I hope you love it.

And once you're done reading it, why not leave a rating and/or review for They're Watching on Goodreads?

I started this email on July 1st and by started I mean I wrote the subject line ‘making the best of bad situations’ then got so busy that only now on August 7th have I sat down to finish it. And by ‘sat down to finish it’ I mean I’m writing this tiny opener in a cafe as I await my order and will no doubt finish it later (he said correctly as he finished this sentence on August 11th). When I first envisaged this email it was because my Macbook had broken and I was without it for...
