#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway #34: Tales From The Hinterland [MG]

The #HorrorForLibraries Giveaway is back today. Here is 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.

Today I have a finished hard cover copy of Tales of the Hinterland by Melissa Albert. This novel is a companion to the very popular Hazel Wood duology.

Like the very best middle grade horror, this book is dark, harrowing at times, but still safe for kids. One of my Goodreads followers, Kristina has a great  review of the novel here. She lists her three words as, "harrowing, familiar yet fresh, spellbinding." Later in her review she goes on to really get into the appeal of the story [and the series]:

"The tales are deliciously dark and creepy, and I loved how brutal and visceral some of the tales were. It felt like a callback to the original fairy tales, which were quite dark and violent."

This finished, hardcover copy is courtesy of Flatiron Books and can be added into your collections immediately. 

And don't forget, I have more librarian vetted, middle grade horror recs with readalikes and programming ideas on the Summer Scares Resources page.

Remember, if you enter today, you are entered in perpetuity.
