The Never Too Old to Save the World Bundle

Blurb:

Fantasy is riddled with tales of teens and young adults saving the world. The parents are usually dead, clueless, or waving goodbye as their kids head off to potential death and definite trauma.

Not in this bundle. Here, middle-aged heroines and heroes claim and keep their power. They lift others up and don't shy away from tackling new or continuing challenges. They're older, maybe wiser, and they're certainly not out of the fight!

This bundle shows that saving the world, homes, and communities isn't just for younger folk, and that those 40+ are still kicking butt! – Marie Bilodeau

$5

Your purchase helps support Literary Arts, a nonprofit located within Guin’s community. Lose yourself in this expansive library today.

Damn you beat me. I read about this on printsf reddit and started organising the titles to work out what was in it and then wondered if someone might have already done it.

A little too many I wouldn't for me to buy at the full price. It has all of the Earthsea books but less than half the Hainish cycle. Two of the titles are novellettes, there are seval short stories collections, 4 books are catwings childrens books, it has all of the YA Annals of the Western Shore series, a couple of poetry books and some nonfiction.

Just FYI, the books are NOT drm-free downloads from humble bundle like most bundles (I have bought are), you get a code for Kobo and redeeming them is apparently a pain in the arse and only 1 of them is DRM free.

The Cozy Fantasy Bundle

Blurb:

Cosy fantasy isn't new, not really. We have always loved fantasy; we've always been interested in the ebb and flow of other people's lives; we have always needed warmth, and love, and hope. The marriage of these things into a thriving genre is, in a word, perfection.

Here's a bundle of tales to take you away – somewhere warm and bright, somewhere the world isn't breaking apart around you. Dive into the lives of dragons, and the bakers of magical cakes; meet tavern-keeps and wizards, in strange and wondrous places; make friends with witches, and mediums, and more. Run away to the castle in the clouds; things are brighter, there.

$5

Fanatical is selling a DRM-Free Vampire Hunter D book bundle.

About this Bundle

Fanatical and Dark Horse Comics are proud to present the complete volumes of the Vampire Hunter D series for the first time in one collection. Showcasing the enduring appeal of the underworld Vampire Hunter which remains a mainstay of the horror genre and now with a huge range of literature, supported films, manga comics as well as the many ongoing Vampire related games, interest in the saga of the original undead Dark Lord has never been stronger.

Our new Vampire Hunter D-The Complete Saga Book Bundle featuring the incredible talents of acclaimed author Hideyuki Kikuchi with companion illustrations by legendary artist Yoshitaka Amano contains all 30 new-to-Fanatical titles wonderfully bringing to life, the amazing tale and epic world of D; a “Dhampir” a human-vampire hybrid occupying a post-apocalyptic world terrified by the elegant but cruel vampires known as Nobles. His half-breed status has obvious advantages but he belongs to neither faction.

Vampire Hunter D Volume 1 sets the initial scene and, through a series of gripping volumes, beautifully illustrated by the genius craft of Yoshitaka Amano and finishing with the recently released final chapter: Vampire Hunter D Volume 30: Gold Fiend Parts One & Two, it follows the epic journey set out by the original author and brought to you by the publishing masters over at Dark Horse Comics.

All books are supplied in EPUB format
