#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway #32: The Lost Village

The #HorrorForLibraries Giveaway is back today, featuring a book I reviewed in the current issue  of  Booklist. But first, a refresher 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.

This week, to celebrate the beginning of Women in Horror Month I am giving away a copy of THE LOST VILLAGE by  Camilla Sten. Here is the link to my full review of The Lost Village from the current issue of Booklist. But below are some highlights:

Three Words That  Describe This Book: fast paced, oppressive atmosphere, seeking  answers.

In 1959, the population of the entire mining village of Silvertjärn, Sweden disappeared. 60 years later, Alice, the granddaughter of a villager who had moved out just before the tragedy, brings a film crew back to the isolated, abandoned, and eerie town, to scout for a possible documentary about the history, hoping to use her personal connection with the creepy occurrence to bring closure to the unsolved tale. But as soon as Alice and her crew arrive, strange, unexplainable things start happening, dangerous occurrences that put everyone’s lives and sanity at risk, and instead of making a movie, the trip becomes a race to survive whatever evil still has its hold on the community. Sten’s novel, already a hit across Europe, is a horror-suspense hybrid, told with a dual time frame in the “Now” and “Then,” with short chapters that keep the pacing brisk and the novel very hard to put down, and a killer set-up that is more than a gimmick. It is a puzzle that delivers maximum dread with clues revealed with remarkable restraint, and as the details pile up going from bad to worse to terrifying, readers will revel in the chills.

This ARC is courtesy of  St. Martin's press who passed it on to me for review. Now it is up for giveaway to one of you.

Don't sleep on this one. It has VERY wide appeal.

Good Luck!
