#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway 84: Nightmare Fuel

After a week off the #HorrorForLibraries giveaway is back with a Nonfiction titles I recently reviewed for Booklist. My soundbite, "It does for Horror films what my book does for Horror books." Details below, but first, how 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 am offering a very early ARC of Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films by Nina Nesseth courtesy of Tor Nightfire. 

My full review was in the March 15th issue of Booklist and can be found on the blog

A few notes for those of you who will not click through:
This books works because Nesseth is both a fan and a scientist. It is a mix of scientific research, social science, and personal information. 

Readers who love Horror movies will eagerly seek out this title, but it is also a great recommendation for fans of Mary Roach or Grady Hendrix’s Paperbacks from Hell.

Further Readalikes: Danse Macabre, My Book [this is very similar except analyzes the appeal of Horror movies, not books]. Science of Pop culture titles.

Three Words That describe this book: conversational, thought provoking, comprehensive

This is a great chance for your Horror movie fans to get ion on the #HorrorForLibraries fun. Remember, enter once and you are entered going forward. Good luck!
