The House of Many Worlds by Sam Merwin Jr.

http://www.amazon.ca/House-Many-Worl.../dp/B000FC2PQK

"THE CLASSIC OF ALTERNATE EARTHS! Ancient, encrusted with legend, supposedly empty, the old mansion on Spindrift Key stood like a dark and lowering wraith. In this classic science fiction novel the New York Times called "a fast-moving adventure, told with engaging humor," reporter Elspeth Marriner's nose for news leads her into a world of trouble. Make that, in worlds of trouble. When she and photographer Mack Fraser, the man she loves to hate, are sent to investigate the old mansion in the Hatteras, they never dream that once inside their lives will never be the same. For the house is a gateway to alternate Earths, watched over by a mysterious group called the Workers, who guard against more advanced civilizations crossing the dimensional barriers to conquer defenseless neighbors. From the Workers, Elspeth learns that her and Mack's presence at the house is no accident. They have been personally selected by the Workers for a dangerous assignment. Their unique combination of talents and knowledge are needed to counter a threat that could plunge the entire world into war. If Elspeth accepted the assignment, she would have to cross to another world, aided only by her native ingenuity, then surmount a succession of plots and counterplots, with death the price of failure. Worse, she would have to work more closely than ever with the detested Mark Fraser."

And speaking of pastiches, this one is free from the author @ Smashwords (may be price-matched elsewhere):

Time for Sherlock Holmes by David Dvorkin (ISFDB), an sfnal Mars-visiting time-traveling adventure, originally out from Dodd Mead in 1983. Dvorkin, who is incidentally a Star Trek tie-in novelist, also offers a lot of other sfnal shorts and novels (some of them small-press backlist) free via his author page @ Smashwords.

Sherlock Holmes meets H G Wells, discovers the secret of immortality, hunts Professor Moriarty across time and space, and manipulates the destiny of mankind, all with the unflinching support of the stalwart Dr. Watson, who is coping with finding and losing the love of his life.

Just to expand a bit on David Dvorkin:

He has about 17 or so titles (the Sherlock Holmes novel being one of them) that are all free.

I got everything but two titles.

From Amazon, they all cost money......

Bloodchild by Octavia E. Butler (Headline)

Product Description

Quote:
Years ago a group known as the Terrans left Earth in search of a life free of persecution. Now they live alongside the Tlic, an alien race who face extinction; their only chance of survival is to plant their larvae inside the bodies of the humans.

When Gan, a young, boy, is chosen as a carrier of Tlic eggs, he faces an impossible dilemma: can he really help the species he has grown up with, even if it means sacrificing his own life?

Bloodchild is Octavia E. Butler's shattering meditation on symbiosis, love, power and tough choices. It won the Hugo, Locus, Nebula and Science Fiction Chronicle awards and is widely regarded as one of her greatest works.

Well worth the read. This is really UF and it starts out a bit slow--as if it's going to be military fiction. But it's a very good thriller/UF. I enjoyed it a lot. It had a better cover back when I read it.

He published Heretic on his own, I believe, but has several other writing credits to his name.

Also: If you purchased "The Dark Fantasy Bundle" from StoryBundle that was offered a little while ago - this book came with the "pay what you want" tier.

Some of the stories/books in this are free now on Amazon. 2 of the 3 I checked. That said, 99c isn't much for 2200 pages! I'll probably get that too
