The Sci-Fi Explorations Bundle - Curated by C. Gockel

EXPLORE THE INFINITE: 13 Mind-Bending Science Fiction Adventures

Journey across space, time, and the depths of human potential in this explosive collection of science fiction from 13 visionary authors. From the primitive dangers of mankind's distant past to the technological marvels of humanity's future, these stories push the boundaries of exploration in all its forms.

Dive into worlds where faster-than-light travel tears lovers across time, where mysterious aliens guard ancient secrets, and where humanity's last hope might lie in the darkest depths of Earth's oceans. You'll encounter reclusive treasure hunters chasing legendary star charts, space mercenaries with forbidden magical powers, and submarine captains racing against nuclear winter.

Step into domed cities where social status means survival, walk the lawless fringes of the galaxy with paranoid treasure hunters, and unravel murders in generation ships while humanity sleeps in cryogenic stasis. Face off against alien deathmatches, explore the politics of Mars colonization, and witness the birth of legendary starfighter pilots who will save humanity from extinction.

Each story charts a unique course through the cosmos, but all share one common thread: the innate human drive to explore, discover, and push beyond our limitations—no matter the cost.

Whether you're drawn to high-stakes space opera, technological thrillers, or character-driven adventures, these 13 complete novels offer endless possibilities for escape, adventure, and discovery.

Take the leap. The universe is waiting. – C. Gockel

The 2025 World SF Bundle - Curated by Lavie Tidhar

Join me for a trip around the world, from China to Nigeria, Luxembourg to the outer reaches of space. Hello – and welcome to the eighth annual World SF bundle! Can you believe we're still here?

Things are definitely looking bleak everywhere you turn, which is why literature matters more than ever. What better way is there to reach across languages and cultures then to experience the stories people tell? The language of science fiction and fantasy is universal, and here I tried to bring together a group of remarkable writers from all corners of the world.

I derive a lot of pleasure from doing these bundles, introducing readers to books and authors new to them, and knowing that your support for this bundle has a direct impact on the authors and publishers themselves. And in a time of conglomerates and monopolies, there is something special about using an independent platform to support independent publishers who are doing vital work. At least, I'd like to think so!

But enough ceremonising. Fire up those e-readers! Ready the mind-nets to capture the dream-volleys heading your way! There is something here for everyone, and I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

The Cozy Up to Crime Bundle - Curated by Leah R Cutter

I read a lot of mysteries as a child, such as the entire Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, Harriet the Spy, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweller, and so on. As an adult, I didn't read a lot of mysteries until I took a mystery workshop. Since then, I've made it a regular habit to read mysteries. And to write them.

Because I primarily wrote fantasy for a number of years, I find myself equally drawn to both straight cozy mystery as well as paranormal cozy mystery. I love the conventions and antics that you'll find in both.

All of the novels in this bundle are cozy, that is, comforting and all about the characters and the quirkiness that they may embody. There may be a murder, but these aren't thrillers. Instead, it's about the cup of tea and the lovely yarn you're about to read cuddled up next to the fire.

There's been quite a surge of cozy literature recently. The world is often times a stressful place. So cozy on up to these novels, let them provide you the escape that we all so desperately need now and again.

Enjoy!

Leah

The Amazing and Impossible Animals Bundle - Curated by Nick Mamatas

We are not alone. Indeed, in many ways we are the newcomers. When the genus Homo gained sentience, we were able to perceive the aliens around us—the world of animals—in entirely new ways. We worshipped animals, ran from them, hunted them, domesticated them, consumed them and in turn were consumed by them. We even imagined impossible animals to guard us, beguile us, and thrill us.

And of course, we humans, the only species who can write, turn our minds and pens to the world of animals, both actual and impossible. Wouldn't it be great to talk to the animals, or transform into one? Wouldn't it be terrible if you went outside and were just pecked to death by birds, right now? This bundle has it all.

Nebula, Locus, and World Fantasy award nominee The Four Profound Weaves by R. B. Lemberg is set in the Birdverse, so named for the setting's avian goddess, and this novella deals with more than one kind of transformation. The Birds by Frank Baker is a thriller you already know, but you've never seen it like this before. Two dark fantasies by Stephen Gregory focus on the bird as the harbinger of doom, and the observer of all our fates.

Peter Beagle is the contemporary bard of the unicorn, is here with an anthology of tales (about tails! and horns!) from writers such as Jane Yolen and Carrie Vaughn. Our closest cousins, the apes, are also bundled up here—perhaps you have heard of Edgar Allan Poe and Franz Kafka? Or maybe the bigfoot is a closer cousin to humanity? Read satirist James Morrow to find out.

The Forgotten Beasts of Eld is a classic of the fantasy genre by the legendary Patricia A. McKillip, one that after a lifetime of waiting is now available as an ebook. Future legend Althea Kontis offers up three fantasies of enchantment and trans-species communication. What if you asked What up, dawg? and got an answer? The Boy Who Talks to Animals already knows what it'd be. Susan Palwick offers us not only wolves, but the world's most intelligent mouse.

Ready to cuddle with your cat on the couch, or with your faithful hound at your feet, and read? Bundle up! – Nick Mamatas

The 2025 Pride Bundle - Curated by Catherine Lundoff and Melissa Scott

It's Pride again, and time for another queer-themed bundle! At a time when the community is once again under threat, we felt it was more important than ever to showcase the work and the writers that celebrate us. We looked for books that show queerness in all its complexity, with stories that range from pure adventure to profoundly serious, and from across the range of identities that make up our whole. We looked for stories that showcased the many and complex forms that queerness takes — the many ways that we have chosen to be. We looked for stories that engage with threats to the queer world, and for stories that imagine what we might be without threats, for stories that celebrate our joy and our resilience.

And we're pleased to say that we have found those stories, and more. If anything, the hardest part of curating this bundle was narrowing down the field: there are so many writers out there creating intelligent, nuanced, queer science fiction and fantasy that it's incredibly hard to choose among them. This is not to claim that this is a definitive LGBTQIA+ collection — given the ever-growing amount of stellar queer writing being published, we're not sure that's even possible. Instead, we thought of the bundle as a sampler, or perhaps a tasting menu. It includes novels, novellas, single author collections, and anthologies; the genres range from fantasy mysteries to cyberpunk to far future to post apocalyptic fantasy. There are newer works and writers, and some older work you may have missed when it first appeared. It's your chance to read work by some of the best writers working today.

StoryBundle has always allowed its patrons to donate part of their payment to a related charity, and this year we're once again supporting Rainbow Railroad, a NGO that helps LGBTQ+ people escape state-sponsored persecution and violence worldwide. Their work is needed now more than ever, and if you choose, you can pass on part of the bundle's price to them — a gift that can save a life. – Catherine Lundoff and Melissa Scott

The books are currently available for Kindle from $0.99 for Tuyo to $1.99, $2.99 & $4.99 for 2-9 in the series, and the latest Hedesa released today is $8.99—but if any of that's steep, then they are all or each available for Kindle Unlimited.

The 2025 Space Opera Sisterhood Bundle - Curated by Robert Jeschonek

What is it about space opera that makes us love it so much? The action, the exotic settings, the colorful characters, the alien species? The promise of countless adventures in the face of the great unknown?

Or is it mostly just the incredible wow factor of all the ships…the technology…the planets…the ray guns and laser swords? In many ways, it's the ultimate escapist genre, transporting us to places and situations that dwarf our everyday troubles. And yet, at its heart, space opera is all about us—what it means to be human, and how we can triumph over our human limitations.

Whatever your reason for loving the genre, this bundle has what you're looking for in abundance. The ten books I've selected—each piloted by a true heroine of the genre—are packed with space opera goodness that will propel you to the furthest reaches of the known and unknown universe.

In this set of books—including three StoryBundle exclusives—you will meet heroes and villains, all larger than life, roaming myriad worlds and stations and outposts on quests for survival or freedom or love or redemption. You will find yourself with enough thrilling adventures to banish every doldrum, and every one of them will take you far in every way possible.

If you love space opera, science fiction, action-adventure, or great writing regardless of genre, this bundle will light up your universe in all the best ways. Grab your copy during the limited three-week sales window, load your e-reading device or app, and launch yourself into orbit for a Big Bang of breathtaking, soul-stirring, and thought-provoking reading. – Robert Jeschonek

Is depression, fear, and anxiety holding you back, silently chipping away at your spiritual well-being and tearing apart your relationships? It's time to break free from these silent killers and embark on a journey of healing and growth that will transform your life. Welcome to It's Time to Grow, a profound guidebook that will change the way you perceive yourself, your faith, and your relationships.

Bertram's Emporium of Things People Say - Ariel Peckel
(Humor/Satire)

Step into the twisted corridors of Bertram's Emporium, where the mundane meets the macabre in a carnival of unrestrained wit and biting satire.

In the madness of contemporary culture wars, the Emporium serves no ideology. It serves up iconoclasm. From hillbilly erotic philosophy to a cancel rag that declares the Sun triggering, from The Pronoun Simulator to The Abortion Avatar, from neocon unicorn princess to Antifa blackshirt, no extreme of the ideological spectrum is too self-absurd to spare. On one end, the far-right's demands for freedom from sweeping government powers evaporate the moment their own sacred cows of religious education and fetuses are at stake. On the other, militant gender identity ideology undermines the rights of the very people it patronizingly claims to protect, with dangerous implications for women, trans people, and detransitioners. On the whole, the absurdity of those ideologies is on plain display to those residing between the extremes who long for a more reasoned approach. Bertram's Emporium delivers one in the guise of humorist social commentary vignettes. It also delivers purely comedic pieces at a time when everybody can use a laugh.

Crosscheck Cupid - Cassidy Berg
(Clean Romance)

When Chelsea decides to play matchmaker for her unlucky-in-love brother Hunter, star forward of the Boston Blizzard, she never expects to find herself offside. But a chance encounter with Liam Eriksson, the dashing captain of the rival team, the New York Nordics, changes everything.

As the hockey season heats up, so does the chemistry between Chelsea and Liam. Suddenly, she's caught in a face-off between her loyalty to her brother and her growing feelings for the enemy. With the championship on the line and tensions rising both on and off the ice, Chelsea must decide if love is worth the penalty.

Will Chelsea's well-meaning meddling lead to heartbreak, or can she score the ultimate goal – happiness for both her brother and herself?

ETA: the last one is 2nd in a trilogy; the 1st & 3rd were LT ERs

The Circle City Magic Bundle - Curated by K.R.S. McEntire

Circle City Magic: Highlighting Fantasy and Sci-Fi Authors from Indianapolis

Fall is the perfect season for fantasy, magic, and imagination, and what better way to get in the spirit than by curling up with a great fantasy or sci-fi book?

I'm thrilled to be curating a new Sci-Fi and Fantasy StoryBundle called Circle City Magic. What makes this bundle unique is that every author is from my hometown of Indianapolis, giving me the chance to spotlight local talent and showcase the incredible work of independent and small press authors right here in the Circle City. As always with StoryBundle, you name your own price, whatever you feel the books are worth, and a portion of the proceeds goes to charity.

The Circle City Magic StoryBundle features my newest release, That Girl Who Ran Off and Kissed a Vampire, a YA portal fantasy full of rom-com charm, D&D-style quests, a charming vampire love interest, and a heroine who dares to dream again. It's a story I hope will leave you laughing, swooning, and cheering by the final page. I also included Alice and the VooDoo Queen, a twisted Alice in Wonderland retelling that is perfect for the spooky season and a hidden gem from my earlier work.

The bundle also includes a carefully curated selection of stories that will appeal to just about every fantasy lover's palette, from closed-door YA fantasy and steamy space romance to classic sword-and-sorcery adventures. My hope is that this collection helps readers discover the breadth and talent of independent and small press authors from Indianapolis, as these writers are producing some truly amazing work that deserves to be discovered. – K.R.S. McEntire

The Ghosts and Hauntings Bundle - Curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Break out the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the chilly fall nights, and the ghost stories. Halloween is coming, and along with it are things that go bump in the night. But ghosts aren't always scary. Sometimes they're helpful. Sometimes they remind us of those we've loved and lost.

This StoryBundle contains so many ghost stories to take you all the way to Thanksgiving. The bundle includes three books exclusive to the bundle and one other that's difficult to find elsewhere…so you might as well get it here.

And while we're scaring ourselves with things that go bump in the night, many people the world over are dealing with actual terrifying things. So, as you buy your bundle, help them out by adding a donation to our charity, World Central Kitchen. They're saving the world, one meal at a time.

Thanks so much! – Kristine Kathryn Rusch

The 2025 Novel Writing Tools Bundle - Curated by Kevin J. Anderson

Each year I curate a treasure chest of writing wisdom, a wide-ranging bundle of books that cover craft, business, career building, and mindset for writers at all levels of success. Now, I've put together another baker's dozen of volumes that will help you move up to the next level.

To develop your basic writing craft, this bundle has Filtering out the Filter Words: Removing Debris from Your Writing, by Sam Knight, a guide to understanding and identifying filler words, filter words, filter phrases, and conclusion words, and how they affect your writing, both positively and negatively. Pacing, by Joshua Essoe—Whether you're an experienced author or a totally new writer, Pacing will help you structure engaging stories that compose the timing, rhythm, and tension of your writing into a harmony that will hook your readers and keep them wanting more. World Building for Novices, by Jon R. Osborne: Whether you want to forge your first setting as a game master or craft a world for the novel you itch to write, this book will set you on the path of world building. Creating Character Arcs, by K.M. Weiland is a practical guide that shows writers how to harness the power of character transformation—Positive, Negative, or Flat Arcs—through story structure and psychology to create compelling, unforgettable fiction. And The Trope Thesaurus, by Jennifer Hilt, helps you navigate Tropes, the building blocks of story!

Of course, being a successful writer means you actually have to WRITE, and for that you can check out Million Dollar Productivity, by Kevin J. Anderson, where I share my tips on how to find the time to write, and how to make the most of that time.

We also showcase writing non-fiction in How to Write Nonfiction, 2nd Edition, by Joanna Penn. Go from idea to finished non-fiction book—without getting lost, and turn hard-won experience into pages that help others. Also, there's Collaborate to Create: A Guide to Coauthoring Nonfiction, by Matty Dalrymple and Michael La Ronn, a step-by-step guide to coauthoring nonfiction, from contracts to marketing, so writers can build smarter, stronger businesses together.

To enhance your career, read Business Essentials for Writers, by James P. Nettles: How to make money in an ever-changing industry. Become a Successful Indie Author, 3rd Edition, by Craig Martelle, demystifies the tangled web of self-publishing to put you on the road to success. Million Dollar Professionalism, by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta, offers advice on working with publishers, editors, booksellers, and fellow authors, and using persistence and reliability to find continued work in the industry. And Shelf Life: A Field Guide to Long-Term Author Success by Deborah Kevin reveals how small, consistent actions can keep your book—and your author career—thriving long after launch day.

Finally, for even broader information on all aspects of being a successful writer, check out The Podcast Guest Playbook, by Matty Dalrymple and Mark Lefebvre—Unlock the secrets to captivating podcast interviews and elevate your guest game. – Kevin J. Anderson

The Leading Ladies Fantasy Bundle 2 - Curated by Charlotte E. English

You know how it goes. There's one female character in the book, and she's someone's love interest. She's given little to do and less to wear. She has no good lines, and nothing to contribute save her helplessness.

These are not those stories.

It's time to champion the kind of great, riveting fantasy which doesn't sideline the ladies. Happily, indie fantasy has absolutely masses to offer. I've assembled some of my favourite books by some of my favourite authors, every one of which offers somebody memorable, vivid and real to spend time with.

In these tales of derring-do, the ladies have stepped firmly out of the background, taking centre stage and rocking it - with a supporting cast of women that shine, too.

This time, I have for you: an aristocrat wielding inherited power with panache, from Krista D. Ball; genteel and gutsy ladies breaking the mould, from Tilly Wallace, Stephanie Burgis, Jacquelyn Benson, and Suzannah Rowntree; immortal and magical women making a difference, from R.J. Blain and from me; the mightiest of warrior women from Intisar Khanani and Victoria Goddard; and from Tansy Rayner Roberts, a powerhouse of a woman in a dark and decadent world.

These books cover a range of fantasy sub-genres, from dark and decadent all the way across the spectrum to cosy and heart-warming; from deliciously romantic to rousing adventure fantasy. They'll take you to diverse fantasy worlds, and show you how spectacular leading ladies can be. – Charlotte E. English

The Wee Beasties Bundle - Curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Tiny and mighty. Small and powerful. Little and dangerous. Wee beasties have an advantage: We underestimate them, think they're harmless because we can swat them or outrun them or squish them between our fingertips. If we see them. If we ignore their powerful little limbs, their massive teeth, or their incredible magical powers. The fourteen books in this collection feature wee beasties of all types—from fairies to pixies, from cats to mice, from halflings to corgis. Some have magic. Some don't. But, they're powerful, every single one of them, and memorable too.

Some of our beasties in these novels and short story collections aren't as little as you'd think, unless you put them in context. To a cat, a mouse is tiny. To a human, a cat is small. To a giant, an orc is bite-sized.

The ebooks in this bundle vary in genre from crime fiction set in the here and now to fantasy in made-up worlds. Tiny aliens trying to sneak into our world, elves playing baseball—orcs playing baseball—too many rats (both the rodent type and the traitorous types) feature prominently in this bundle. Each story surprises, each point of view provides a skewed way of looking at the world.

Of the fourteen books in this bundle, eight are exclusive. You can't get them anywhere else. Books by Dean Wesley Smith, Jason Adams, Kari Kilgore, Lisa Silverthorne, Stefon Mears, DeAnna Knippling, and Michael Lucas are brand-new, never-before-seen. Not to be outdone, I've included my own exclusive as well.

I've enjoyed StoryBundles for years, and I don't think I've ever seen so many exclusives in one bundle. You can get all of them at a discount. Wait a few weeks, and you'll have to pay full price on some other store. Better to get these books here. Now.

And, while you're at it, give a small donation to our charity, World Central Kitchen. It seems like disaster after disaster have hit our world of late, and fortunately, the good people behind World Central Kitchen are there to provide hot food and comfort to folks who are suffering. We can't all be on the site of the world's disasters, but we can spare a bit of change to make sure that others make it through the tough times.

This is a large collection of ebooks featuring all manner of tiny powerful beings. We think this bundle will improve your life—and bring you hours of enjoyment for weeks to come.

Clock's ticking. Once this bundle is gone, it's gone forever…

– Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Is there maybe a separate thread for leads on good *physical* book deals? I just have zero interest in ebooks.
