Fantastic in more than one sense
One of my favorite small presses specialized in fantastic fiction, Small Beer Press, is putting its catalogue on Scribd. If you go here, you will find a bunch of excellent books - so excellent in fact, that I can't single out one or two of them for recommendation.
Of course, if you like them, buy them afterwards.

Tumbarumba
is a deeply fascinating Firefox extension/art project that tries to integrate twelve pieces of fiction into your browsing experience.
I really love experiments like this. You can download the extension here.

Arkham Tales
Weird Fiction web zines and web magazines are a rather problematic thing. Although you can always find some hidden story pearls, too often "inspired by" or "in the tradition of" the Weird Tale in truth means "bad pastiches of the works of far superior authors".
All the more surprised am I by the high quality standards of the new free PDF magazine Arkham Tales whose stories are clearly in the tradition of the classic Weird Tale, but are just as clearly based in respect for themes and methods of the classic writers of the Weird instead of slavish copying of all the worst aspects of their works.
I highly recommend going to the magazine's site and reading through it.

Everybody likes a ghost story
And Juno Books, home of the paranormal romance, has a PDF with "Five Classic Ghost Stories" (by female writers) as a Halloween gift.
It aren't even the usual five stories, so what are you waiting for?
