Seems to be going around, but Tim Pratt is offering a reader-supported novella on his website. It'll come out in chunks. Details here.
"Bone Shop" is a Marla Mason story, the heroine of Pratt's series (begins with Blood Engines).
I haven't read any of Pratt's novels, but his short fiction collection Hart & Boot was a good one.
The story, which begins today, can be found here.
