Resource Alert: The Lineup

 I started writing for a new outlet that I am excited to let all of you know about. It's called The Lineup and friend of RA for All, author, and Summer Scares podcast partner Lisa Quigley is their new Senior Editor. 

She asked me to write a 2021 Year in Horror wrap up piece. You can read that here. But the point of this post is to introduce you to the resource itself because Quigley is working very hard to make the content responsive. It is not only a place for you to go to stay up to date on Thrillers, True Crime, and Horror, but it is also a great resource to pass on to your patrons for their own use. 

I often write [and lecture] about how we should be using resources geared toward the book professionals and those geared at the average reader in tandem. This is a great example of an excellent reader focused resource.  

But enough from me, I asked Quigley to introduce her site to you since she knows it best. Take it away Lisa...

I am so excited to be back on RA for All! In October of 2021, I took up the helm as Senior Editor of The Lineup (and sister site Murder & Mayhem.) The Lineup aims to be a premier destination for fans of all things creepy—from horror books and films, to unsolved true crime cases, to bizarre paranormal events. We publish everything from highbrow literary think pieces to fun Internet memes, all in the name of sharing our dark interests with fellow enthusiasts.

My aim as Senior Editor is to have fun, as well as mix up entertainment with ideas that challenge readers to question the status quo—much like the horror genre itself! In addition to all our horror faves, I want the space to be a platform to uplift the wide array of emerging, diverse, and innovative authors horror (and adjacent genres) have to offer—all while having a total blast. Another area of focus for me is bringing in freelancers with their finger on the pulse of horror, true crime, and paranormal—people like Sadie Hartmann aka Mother Horror, Gabino Iglesias, and of course, Becky Spratford!

The cool thing about The Lineup is that, while we are an informative and entertaining destination for lovers of all things strange and spooky, we are primarily book lovers. Our newsletters are a fantastic place for readers to stay up to date—not only with our latest content, but also with our regular weekly ebook sales and deals. We have a fantastic back catalog of horror, true crime, and paranormal eBooks—and our passion is connecting readers with books. Not only is our newsletter a great resource for librarians such as yourself to stay up to date with the latest creepy conversation, it’s also an ideal resource for library patrons. They can sign up for the newsletter here!

Get these resources [now under new editorial management] on to your radar and into your patron's in boxes ASAP.
