This bundle will be back up to AU$13.99 (about US$9.60) tomorrow, which is still an absolute steal! The beauty of buying direct from the author (that's me.) These books are US$4.99 each in stores, so you can get all three for less than the price of two if you buy direct.

Did you know you can grab all three ebooks in the Tales From The Gulp for only AU$12.50 (~US$9.00) directly from me? I get all the royalties, you get all the horror. Surely the greatest deal going. (Signed paperback deal also available.)

Here's a short video where I talk about the Tales From The Gulp, how it all works, and read the opening from each of the five stories in book 3, The Rise.

The Gulp, The Fall and The Rise with lots of humbling praise.
A mosaic novel across 3 books told in 15 novellas. But each novella stands alone as well. Possibly my greatest writing achievement to date. If you haven't given them a try yet,I hope you will. And any help spreading the word so other people find them is hugely appreciated!

The Gulp, The Fall and The Rise with lots of humbling praise.
Each book is a mosaic novel made up of 5 novellas. The Gulp and The Fall are also a mosaic novel of 10 novellas. And all three books make a mosaic novel across 15 novellas. But each novella stands alone as a complete story. Possibly my greatest writing achievement to date.

Three books - The Gulp, The Fall and The Rise - and lots of lovely praise.
TODAY! It's here. The Rise has risen on this Friday 13th! Tales From The Gulp volume 3. It's all been leading to this. There's never been a better time to visit the dark and strange harbour town of Gulpepper. Locals call it The Gulp, as it has a habit of swallowing people.

![“[The Gulp] is not just an Australian coastal town; it’s a gullet. A place that actively consumes… The Rise: Tales From The Gulp 3 isn’t just another horror collection; it’s a return to a uniquely Australian nightmare that’s been swallowing readers whole since the first book… Baxter’s always excelled at the slow reveal, the creeping understanding that the rules here are different… That’s the Baxter signature: finding the fracture point in ordinary lives and pouring nightmare fuel into the crack… If this truly is the end of our time in The Gulp, then we have gone out on a true high note. A perfect ending for a trilogy of terror that, as a whole, is an exceptional achievement.” – Jim McLeod, Ginger Nuts of Horror](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4qrq2iglr73kq3ya7nl6pphm/bafkreicbnpbjcgnnoqq6d6d4nrxaifq34jgi2cgvbbmjwzb7w467l7r5si)

Cover of The Rise showing a creepy road at night (art by Halinka Orszulok) and the text reads: “In The Rise, Alan Baxter returns to Gulpepper, and there’s something about this small town that draws you in. Wouldn’t want to live there, not sure it’s the safest holiday destination either, but I’m still thrilled to set foot on its disturbing streets once again. These five new novellas balance masterfully between heartbreaking, horrific, and out-right action packed. Whether you’re a hardened local, or visiting for the first time, any trip to The Gulp is an experience you’ll never forget.” – Joanne Anderton, author of Pixerina: A Haunting and The Bone Chime Song.
More humbling praise for THE RISE: Tales From The Gulp 3 (coming in February 2026) this time from the amazing @joanneanderton.bsky.social Thank you!

I own both of these books - signed by Alan - and both are terrific reads. If you like a creepy read, with characters and bad pennies that keep turning up, these are well worth your time.
