Um, yeah.
So, (just barely enough) people asked for non-Kindle versions of my Kindle stuff, so I self-published a print anthology of the first four stories: horror novellas, "Bones," "Last Tuesday" and "Night of the Scorpions" and then full-length novel, "Sunday Billy Sunday," all under the banner of, "Four Nails in the Coffin." On top of that, included is the first chapter of "Shepherd," the just-as-highly-anticipated-as-this-print-anthology sequel to "Bones" (which is why this thing's almost 500 pages).
All four covers by artist Rahsan Ekedal are included as chapter headings and as it's a Royal-sized edition (6" x 9"), said covers are much larger than you'd see on your Kindle or iPhone. Rahsan also did the cover for the book, which you can see here:

And hey, why make the decision yourself? Here are a handful of quotes from folks Just Like You who got an advanced look:
“This is muscular, original fiction that marks the debut of an exciting new voice in the speculative/dark fantasy genre. Mark Wheaton is a T4000 horror writer. He brings a millennial aesthetic, a screenwriter’s eye and ear, and an imagination as wide, sun-seared, and American as Route 66 to this quartet of novellas.” - Michael Rowe, editor of the QUEER FEAR anthology series and co-author of TRIPTYCH OF TERROR
"Wheaton's writing is haunting. Days, weeks, even months later, you will find your mind returning to his worlds. Stephen King is no longer my only addiction." - Todd Farmer, screenwriter, graphic novelist, MY BLOODY VALENTINE IN 3-D, ALIEN PIG FARM 3000, forthcoming DRIVE ANGRY
"His tales are visceral, intellectual, and often grisly, but Wheaton never forgets that touch of humanity and wry humor which allows true horror to cut that much deeper to the bone." - Kenneth Plume, author, THERE'S A ZOMBIE IN MY TREEHOUSE
"Mark Wheaton is a magician. He misdirects you with accessibility while performing tricks of genius. Don't try to figure out how he does it - just enjoy the show. FOUR NAILS IN THE COFFIN is a shotgun blast to the brain. In a good way." - Gary Dauberman, screenwriter, SWAMP DEVIL, BLOOD MONKEY
"Mark Wheaton's collection of novellas shows off a sharp sense of the uncanny. Here is a storyteller who can take us into the weirdest of scenarios through the eyes of characters who are, however offbeat, always believable. One part horror, one part suspense, NAILS is a fully engaging and out of the ordinary reading experience." - Shara Kay, co-producer, forthcoming MOTHER'S DAY, VERONIKA DECIDES TO DIE

Enjoy. Pretty sure "Shepherd" will be out in a couple of months with the third novella in the "Bones" trilogy, "Alpha," to hopefully follow in October. The covers of those will be done by "Stuttering Hunter" cover artist, Tony Fleecs.
