Samhain Horror Preorder Sale + Coupon
Samhain Publishing has started a horror line, and if you buy preorders (for 10/4 and 11/1) from their website the titles are $2.45 for novellas, and $3.85 to $4.55 for full books, as opposed to the regular prices of $3.50 to $5.50. Amazon and B&N have the preorders for $2.80 to $5.20.
Formats available: • Adobe Acrobat • Adobe Acrobat for Sony • eBook ETI-2 • EPUB • HTML • Microsoft Reader • Mobipocket/Kindle • Rocketbook I won't know until tomorrow if these are multiformat or you pick one format. Since they mention Calibre I assume they are DRM free. Quote:
Use coupon 6d32a94c63 on your order for 40% off. Since I don't know their coupon system, if this doesn't work, sign up for their email newsletter and you will receive a coupon. The first one I got this way did not work so I emailed support and they sent me the above one, which did work. http://store.samhainpublishing.com/horror-c-20.html Last edited by NightBird; 10-04-2011 at 04:06 AM. |

Is any of the Campbell stuff Cthulhu related? I love his earlier work that is, but could never get into any of his later stuff which is not...

Have you seen this one: Alone with the Horrors: The Great Short Fiction of Ramsey Campbell 1961-1991 This apparently has some of the older stories, including the first story he ever wrote. It's published by Macmillan and $9.99.

There is also a very nice coupon code in Rue Morgue magazine. 30% off or something like that. I didn't buy the issue yet, so I don't have any code. Anyway, that would be cheating -- and this is your chance to discover a great horror magazine.

Discount code does not work - VERY UNHAPPY WITH SAMHAIN'S SOLUTION
Buyer beware:
Here's my experience - I joined the website and purchased 4 books by Ramsey Campbell and used the discount code in the email they sent me. My understanding was that it would be 40%, based upon the first post in this thread. Upon purchase, there was NO discount whatsoever from my $17.50 purchase. I emailed them about this issue and they indicated they would get back to me. They did get back to me yesterday and this was their solution: Upon my next purchase they will give me a 15% discount by using a new code. This is unacceptable and I will no longer be a customer. Also, based upon my initial experience, I am VERY hesitant to use another discount code. As far as I'm concerned, the company owes me 40% less from $17.50 I am signing this as a Moderator, because I want to give this post an additional level of authenticity, based upon my experience with them as a customer, and also to warn our Members about this incident. I realize that another member's experience may differ from mine. However, this was my experience with this company. Don (MODERATOR) Last edited by Dr. Drib; 10-08-2011 at 12:07 PM. |

Don, I agree with you - that was not an acceptable solution.
What happened to me was the initial coupon they sent me did not work. On attempting to check out with it the message "invalid coupon" came up. At that point I abandoned the checkout and emailed them about what happened. The next day they sent me the email with an apology and the coupon code I posted here. I checked out with that coupon and all was well, with the 40% discount. I would advise anyone who decides to try shopping with them do the same - apply the coupon and see if it works before checking out. If it doesn't, email them before spending any money instead of trying to get a refund later. |
