#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway 62: The Ghost Sequences

After a week off to recover from the October blog-a-thon, I am back with one of the most talked about story collections of the year, put out by one of my recommended independent presses for libraries.  But first, 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. Meaning you enter once, and you are entered until you win. 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. I use Random.org and have a member of my family witness the "draw"based off your number in the Google Sheet.
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 copy of the gorgeous [look at that cover-- seriously, look at it!] and critically acclaimed story collection by A.C. Wise, The Ghost Sequences.

Wise is an author on the rise. One you should know about. Wise takes the tropes you think you know and makes them entirely new, original, and chilling. 

I will not be surprised if this collection ends up nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for story collection. Not at all.

Some of theses stories are from anthologies to which I gave a star review. Wise has caught the eye of editor Ellen Datlow in a way I haven't seen since she started promoting Stephen Graham Jones [and we all know how well that went for him].

Don't believe me, take a look at the glowing reviews on Goodreads here. And I 100% agree with the publisher readalikes of Carmen Maria Machado, Kelly Link, and Angela Carter.

Enter to win, but also, order a copy for your library collections ASAP. And thanks to Undertow Publications for the giveaway copy.
