I've been following this writer Darren Pillsbury for a couple of years now as he blogged his books page by page. Now he's publishing them as ebooks on Kindle and Nook.
PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a bunch of stories about a kid who moves into his grandfather's house, and bad, baaaaaaaaaad things start to happen. It's similar to the HARRY POTTER books in that it has a kid battling a bunch of supernatural monsters.
On Wednesday, May 25th, the author is trying to get as many people as possible to buy his books, and he's donating 50% of his profits to www.SaveTheChildren.org for people who buy it then.
So check it out on the Kindle store or at BarnesAndNoble.com - it's only 99 cents (and $2.99 for each of the sequels, PETER AND THE WEREWOLVES and PETER AND THE FRANKENSTEIN).
The best part is, you don't have to own a Kindle or Nook to read it: you can download a free Kindle app here for your computer, Mac, iPad, iPhone, or cell phones. In fact, if you don't have a Kindle, you'll need to do this first to buy the ebook.
It's a really good story, you'd be helping a struggling author, and you're donating to charity.
Check it out - and please forward this on, if you don't mind!

Well, I told a few people, and one of them said they would check it out. I hope she buys it.
Wow! I might have to rethink my "non-editting" stance to my kids with these last couple of chapters... but we will see when we get to that point. I will be buying the books this evening after work, but I WILL be buying them today!
wv: dizeddi >> what you are when past the dizzy point of no return.
Like Dill, I think I would have peed my pants. This is getting gruesome. I wonder who Peter was going to call. Perhaps Scott, though I have no idea what good that would do.
I think I convinced my friend to buy book one, since it was only $0.99. That way if he liked it he could buy the others. I also made mention that downloading the kindle for your computer gives you a free copy of treasure island and is therefore worth the space.
Darren, I have to say, I own you now! Or, well, I own your BOOKS now (I bought all 3). That'll do, heheh!
wv: mialiest >> What you get when you try to minimalize the word "minimalest" even more

Hmm...these are definitely not normal mental patients. (If there is such a thing.) I think Dr. V. might have done something to them to make them this feral...beta-testing, maybe?
Glad to hear about the rankings! I'm plugging to whoever will listen...
Tropinki = The word describing one's bag when a pen has leaked inside it.
Yeah, this book is definately not for children. :-O
WV: Condomm. This is seriously the word verification? Weird.
Wow, gotta love how dark that chapter was. Something about people getting eaten always creeps me out... is that just me? :D
My free Kindle download not only came with Treasure Island, it had Pride and Prejudice and Aesop's Fables - aww something for everyone! Now if only they were real paper and not on a computer screen...
So how did the launch go in the end? On the Amazon UK site Vampires is apparently #15,743 :(
WV: unceesom. Adjective, used to describe the almost zombie-like state of mental patients currently occupying an alternate plane of reality. Rarely used due to being horrendously un-PC.
Oh yeah (curses that you can't edit your own comments!), Rai if Peter rings Scott then Scott can find Grandfather and tell him what's happening so he can break in with his shotgun in that Grandfatherly way of his. Or, you know, Scott can get help from this guy (what a guy!) he knows. Either way, they'd probably be more help than the authorities at this point.
WV: cunhor. OK I know this story's quite disturbing, but I still don't think it's appropriate to speculate on this word.
Mina -
Thank you!
Kyle -
Yeaaaaah, this story definitely is going to push that line. The good news is that after this story, things should be milder for awhile.
I think.
I'm pretty sure...
Rai -
911!
Thank you! And you can tell people that you can actually get all sorts of free content at the Kindle Top Free 100, from new to classics:

Kyle -
What happens when you try to minimalize "miliest"?
DON'T DO IT! It's like dividing by zero!
Todd -
Thanks, Todd! Your figures were actually the lowest I ever saw it dip, so thank you for chronicling it!
Rubberduck -
Thanks for plugging the books, I really appreciate it!
And these are not only psychopathic killers (each and every one)...they're also residing near Duskerville.
And we know what THAT means.
Jennifer -
Oh nooooes! The V-words have been contaminated by the age-inappropriateness of the story!
Cat -
No, I'm pretty creeped out by it, too...
Just wait till PETER AND THE CANNIBALS.
I'm not kidding, I'm seriously considering that one for the future.
Holy cow, that's actually not bad on the UK site! Thanks for letting me know - I had no idea!
Darren #2 -
*It was hailing, I was afraid I was going to lose all my comments...
Cat #2 -
That's actually a good point about Scott, I never even considered that.
Oh, my. The V-Word is using HBO words now, as Dill might say. And in combinations he's never heard before. (Me either, actually.)
