Sometimes
gaming is the best escape. Until virtual reality gets a little too real...
Welcome to the Game Masters Bundle–eight stories of
gamer-themed fiction that explore the intersection of pixels and reality. Each
of these tales takes a gamer-centric look at the world, tackling big issues
with plenty of fun and geeky goodness along the way.
I scoured the web to find the
best indie authors of gamer-set books, and am thrilled to present this
StoryBundle selection. Whether you're in the mood for a modern-day coming of
age tale packed with humor, or a gritty speculative dystopian future, these
bestselling and award-winning authors deliver, with stories that explore the
boundaries of immersive gaming.
Join the hackers and heroes
adventuring between these pages, but beware! Losing the game has dire
consequences – not only for the players, but the entire world. – Anthea
Sharp

It allows easy reading on computers, smartphones, and tablets as well as Kindle
and other ereaders via file transfer, email, and other methods. You get
multiple DRM-free formats (.epub, and .mobi) for all books, but after the three
weeks are over, the bundle is gone forever!
It's also super easy to give
the gift of reading with StoryBundle, thanks to our gift cards – which allow
you to send someone a code that they can redeem for any future StoryBundle
bundle – and timed delivery, which allows you to control exactly when your
recipient will get the gift of StoryBundle.
Why StoryBundle? Here are
just a few benefits StoryBundle provides.
• Get quality reads: We've chosen works from excellent authors to
bundle together in one convenient package.
• Pay what you want (minimum $3): You decide how much five
fantastic books are worth to you. If you can only spare a little, that's fine!
You'll still get access to five thrilling titles.
• Support authors who support DRM-free books: StoryBundle is a
platform for authors to get exposure for their works, both for the titles
featured in the bundle and for the rest of their catalog. Supporting authors
who let you read their books on any device you want—restriction free—will show
everyone there's nothing wrong with ditching DRM.
• Give to worthy causes: Bundle buyers have a chance to donate a
portion of their proceeds to charity. We're currently featuring Mighty Writers
and Girls Write Now.
• Receive extra books: If you beat our bonus price, you're not
just getting five books, you're getting eight!
