#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway #10: Poisoned Pen Press 5-Pack

First, a reminder that these giveaways will be running every week, on Thursdays, for the foreseeable future. And here is the best part, if you enter any week, you are eligible for ALL weeks.

The only rule is that you need to be affiliated with a public library in America or Canada. My rationale behind that is that I will be encouraging you to read these books and share them with patrons. While many of them are advanced reader copies that you cannot add to your collections, if you get the chance to read them, my hope is that you will consider ordering a copy for your library and give away the ARC away as a prize or pass it on to a fellow staff member.

Okay now how to enter. If you are interested in being included in any giveaway at any time, you must email me at zombiegrl75 [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject line "#HorrorForLibraries." In the body of the email all you have to say is that you want to be entered and the name of your library.

Each entry will be considered for EVERY giveaway. I will randomly draw a winner on Fridays sometime after 5pm central. But only entries received by 5pm will be considered.

If you win, you are ineligible to win again for 4 weeks; you will have to re-enter after that time to be considered [I have a list of who has won, when, and what title]. However, if you do not win, you carry over into the next week. There is NO NEED to reenter.

Why I am doing this? Well, one of the parts of my job that has gone away for the time being is my visits to libraries, library conferences, and library systems to provide general RA training. On all of those visits, I would  fill my suitcase with giveaway titles and they were mostly horror. It not only gave me a chance to give away books as prizes, but it also allowed me the opportunity to book talk horror even if that wasn't on the agenda.

Now that my services have transferred to 100% virtual, for the time being, I have an overflow of books in my house and less of chance to promote horror to the unsuspecting masses of library workers.

And thus my #HorrorForLibraries giveaway is born. This will be going on indefinitely, so the sooner you enter the better your chances.

This week I have 5 titles courtesy of Poisoned Pen Press/Sourcebooks.

The first is the next title in the Haunted Library of Horror Classics series a collaboration with the Horror Writers Association, Vathek by William Beckford with an introduction by Joe. R. Lansdale. The series is edited by Eric Guignard and Leslie Klinger. The idea is to bring back forgotten horror titles and  give them new edition with modern commentary. This one comes with discussion questions.

I also have 4 titles by Darcy Coates a USA Today Bestselling Author who I wrote about at length in Library Journal back in January here.

Click here to see all of her titles, but specifically I have finished copies of House of Secrets, The Folcroft Ghosts, House of Shadows, and Hunted. These can be added to your collections immediately. The Beckford is an ARC. It will be out in mid-August.

You can win all 4 this week! Thanks to Margaret from Sourcebooks for sending these titles my way so that I can get them into your hands.

Good luck!
