Launch Day: Dead Easy – Edgar Allan Poe Retold in Plain English (Just $0.99 This Week!)

Hello friends,

At last — launch day! 🎉

My new book, Dead Easy: Edgar Allan Poe Retold in Plain English, is officially out in the wild.

This project is close to my heart. I’ve always loved the idea of Poe — gothic horror, mad narrators, eerie old houses — but his tangled 19th-century prose nearly scared me off as a young reader. So I decided to do something about it.
With a little patience (and a little AI magic), I’ve retold his creepiest stories in clear, modern English. All the atmosphere, terror, and madness remain — just without the cobwebs.
Inside you’ll find:

• The Tell-Tale Heart
• The Pit and the Pendulum
• The Black Cat
• The Masque of the Red Death
• The Fall of the House of Usher
• And more…

💡 For launch week only (9–16 September), the book is just $0.99 (or free with Kindle Unlimited). After that, it goes up.

Thanks so much for following along — and sorry in advance if these stories give you nightmares. Poe would be proud.

All the best,
James
