Standard Ebooks added a bunch of newly-US-PD novels: https://standardebooks.org/blog/public-domain-day-2026

(I’m happy to have contributed three to the launch this year, hope you enjoy them.)

Which three did you contribute and how'd you pick them?

    I did Kafka’s The Castle, Agatha Christie’s Giant’s Bread, and Stella Benson’s The Faraway Bride.

    Been meaning to do a Kafka for a while but the Gutenberg editions are later translations that aren’t actually public domain. This is the first time a Kafka novel has entered the US PD.

    The other two I picked from the list of “works Standard Ebooks wants for public domain day” back in October. We’re reasonably organised about this.
