Really excited to see that the Night Shade Books Humble Bundle has sold more than 8,000 bundles — that’s a lot of money for charity. And if you haven’t gotten it yet, you have less than a day to do so.

The premise is simple — for at least $1, you get six books, including The Daedalus Incident. Pay $8 or more to unlock another seven titles. Pay $15 in total (or more) and you get another seven — a total of 23 ebooks, including works by John Hornor Jacobs, Nick Mamatas, Martha Wells and Paolo Bacigalupi and me, along with anthologies edited by Paula Guran, John Joseph Adams, Neil Clarke and Ellen Datlow.

That’s a serious bunch of books. And not only does the money go to charity, but you get to choose which charity when you make your purchase. Good stuff all around.

It looks like this bundle closes down at 2 p.m. EDT tomorrow, so click here to get started. And if you’ve already taken the plunge — thank you!

The good folks at Night Shade Books are the sponsors of the latest Humble Bundle Book Bundle, and The Daedalus Incident is one of six titles you can get for just…

…wait for it…

one dollar. That’s a pretty sweet price, y’all. With that single buck, you also get Jeff Salyards’ Scourge of the Betrayer, Pete Rawlik’s Reanimatrix, Will McIntosh’s Hitchers, and anthologies edited by two of the best editors around, John Joseph Adams and Ellen Datlow.

But wait there’s more. 

A measly $8 gets you seven more titles, including the most excellent Book of Cthulhu II edited by the incomparable Ross Lockhart, and more anthologies edited by Adams, Paula Guran and Neil Clarke.

And yet there’s still more. 

For just $15 — and you’ve spent more on less, let’s face it — you get a collection of Paolo Baciagalupi’s short stories, Southern Gods by John Hornor Jacobs, I Am Providence by Nick Mamatas, and four more books on top of that.

Seriously, $15 can feed your brain for months, y’all.

The best part? Humble Bundle supports charities around the world, so your dollars are going to a good cause. The current Humble Bundle spotlight charity is Special Effect, which is focused on helping people with disabilities enjoy video games. You can also choose your charity, and how much of your purchase price goes to said charity. I believe the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America is one such option, and that would be a lovely choice as well.

Obviously, the world isn’t in best shape, so you may decide to use your dollars for more pressing concerns. In that case, the American Red Cross, World Wildlife Federation and Save the Children are among your other options. It’s totally up to you.

So click here to get started on your Humble Bundle purchase, choose a charity to support, and get reading.  Also, given that it’s now November 1st, I would add that this massive pile of ebooks would make a great Christmas present for someone special. Just saying.

Oh, and you have two weeks to get on this — so don’t delay. Humble Bundle is standing by.
