Time to stock up on literary scares: Today (Thursday, Oct. 3) is Terrify Your Tablet Day.

Hosted by Horrorsmith Publishing for the second year in a row, the 24-hour event is effectively a horror-only version of Stuff Your Kindle Day, where participating authors make their e-books available for free or just 99 cents. Unlike the titles featured in Stuff Your Kindle Day, however, Terrify Your Tablet Day-eligible ebooks are available across several platforms, including Kindle, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Scribd, and via direct download.

There are hundreds of ebooks featured in this year’s Terrify Your Tablet Day, and you can see the full list on Horrorsmith’s website; it’ll be uploading titles in waves throughout the day. Below, we’ve pulled a selection of Kindle horror picks from the first upload to get you started:
