A good portion of my e-book library comes from Humble Book Bundles. It’s kind of the best of both worlds. If you’re a fan of a good deal, then you can get a ton of great reads for a great price. Additionally, the bundles support charities, non-profits, and the efforts of Humble Bundle if you so choose. The newest bundle features a supermassive collection of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror books. In the Tachyon Humble Book Bundle that is now live, you can grab up to $441 worth of incredible e-books. Some titles might even be collecting dust on your book backlog too.

The latest Humble Bundle featuring incredible Tachyon books will run through March 24. If you’re not familiar with the bundles, then let’s briefly overview how this works. Firstly, each bundle has tiers that start at a certain dollar amount you’re willing to pay. If you choose a tier, then every title in that group is yours DRM-free. These are hand-chosen bundles by the Humble Bundle team. The lowest tier is always $1, so you can pay what you want above that for each tiered collection.
Each bundle goes towards a charity or a couple organizations. The Tachyon Humble Book Bundle is supporting two this time around. Those charities are the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who defend civil liberties in the digital world and champion user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development, and the Carl Brandon Society, whose mission is to increase racial and ethnic diversity in the production of and the audience for speculative fiction.
Some of the most noteworthy books in this collection include authors you might be familiar with. For starters, Beyond Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a great collection of stories that go beyond her seminal monster work. These stories really bring to light Shelley’s keen insights on gender, society, and modern life. Adventures of a Dwergish Girl by Daniel Pinkwater is another great read from the author. This middle-grade adventure is great for all ages. If you pay for the highest tier, then dozens of great Tachyon books can be yours. Curious about a full list of works? We’ve got you covered.
