Trunk Novels was founded on the idea that humanity needs stories in order to survive because they provide catharsis, perspective, insight, and an escape from the stresses of daily living. Stories make the hard times, of which we have plenty at the moment, less difficult and the good times better. Knowing that many people cannot afford to purchase books from the high-end retailers, we offer novels, novellas, memoirs, and short story collections that would otherwise not be published free on our website, as a free PDF download, and as inexpensive trade paperbacks in order to help everyone through the difficult times that lie ahead.
