Only two weeks after its debut as October’s WOWIO Free Book of the Month, Brian James Freeman’s The Painted Darkness has already shattered the all-time download record for the free eBook download program, which began back in 2006.
WOWIO readers and other fans of the book have been showing their appreciation of what Publishers Weekly calls “fast-paced, satisfying horror” by telling their Facebook and Twitter friends about the free download and by snapping up signed collector’s copies of the hardcover print edition.
This WOWIO-exclusive eBook edition (with bonus extras including an audio reading of the book’s first chapter by Pod of Horror host Mark Justice) is only available through October. If you haven’t already downloaded your free PDF of The Painted Darkness, get it now!
WOWIO is partnering with another of our publisher friends to bring you this high-profile graphic novel for free! We’re not telling what the title is, but the book is a visual stunner and an exhilarating read that’s already in production as a major Hollywood film.
This WOWIO special edition features a special, behind-the-scenes video featurette about the film adaptation that’s making its worldwide debut on WOWIO. Also in this eBook are never-before-seen bonus images from the movie. These exclusive bonus extras are not available in any other edition — and it’s only available on WOWIO.

We’re ready for Halloween here at WOWIO, now that we’ve posted our spooky Book of the Month for October, The Painted Darkness.

This edition also includes bonus extras, including an interview with Ray Bradbury and, exclusively in this WOWIO edition, a reading of the book’s first chapter by Pod of Horror host Mark Justice.

Download the first installment of Bret M. Herholz’s graphic novel, “Sherlock Holmes: The Painful Predicament of Alice Faulkner” — another free book exclusively for WOWIO fans on Facebook.
Paul Magrs captures the book’s distinctive tone in his introduction: “This is the world Herholz delights in. Darkness and dismay. A world of lissom girls with haunted eyes and rather epicene gentlemen with side partings and curiously pointed fingers, smoking enigmatically in the dark…”

For September’s free Book of the Month, we’ve teamed up with Insomniac Press to share a title that tells two interwoven stories. It offers an honest and intimate portrait of legendary musician Neil Young, as seen by his half-sister Astrid Young.

This PDF eBook includes a new chapter from the updated print edition plus a bonus, WOWIO-exclusive video interview with Astrid Young (you’ll need recent versions of Adobe Reader and QuickTime to view the video within the eBook).
