#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway #28: Horror for Kids

The #HorrorForLibraries Giveaway is back for another week and this week, I am featuring some horror for children. But first, a reminder on the basic rules to enter:

1. You need to be affiliated with an American public library. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 each week will be considered for that  week.
4. 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.

I was going through the ARCs I have and I noticed these 2 titles for kids. The top one, The Threw Us Away by Daniel Kraus, the first book in his Teddies Saga Trilogy. It is a great read for all ages of horror fans. Accurately described as Toy Story meets Lord of the Flies, this is a story that is a little more intense than the average Middle Grade horror, but still not terrifying. It would make a great family read aloud, even with teens.

The Girl Who Builds Monsters by Brian James Freeman, illustrated by Vincent Chong is a creepy, sweet, and timeless story about a young girl who takes the discarded parts of dolls to make her own creations. 

Both are excellent to enjoy with a child or for yourself. They are ARCs so you cannot add them to your collections but they would make great winter reading prizes.

Good luck!
