I have no idea what the book is about. So, I don’t have any reason to download it.

I really enjoy Escape Pod. So when you recommended the Stranger Things Video podcast, I went to it eagerly. But, I didn’t find Sigler’s Sacred Cows story ‘creepy,’ ‘unusually philosophical,’ or even very good.

Oh well, that was just one story, and perhaps I’ll become a big Sigler fan if I read some of his other work.

But, I’m not a fan right now, so an excerpt might give me a reason to download it.
