Terrify Your Tablet is for the spookiest of readers. If you like eery thrillers, all things supernatural, or gorey slashers, this is a Stuff Your Kindle-style event made for you. This event, lead by Horrorsmith Publishing, is offering dozens of discounts on creepy books of all kinds.

Everyone can find something to read during this sale — including fantasy readers. Among the free and discounted books are dark fantasy novels. For readers of romantasy, October may have you eager to deep your toe into the darker side of the genre and dark fantasy is just right for you.

We've rounded up a series of dark fantasy novels (and one memoir from the queen of dark fantasy, Elvira) that are all free or discounted during Terrify Your Tablet Down. Here are the deals to shop.
