Today, I have 2 copies of one of the hottest books of the year. I wrote about it on the main blog here Tuesday. I have 1 signed paperback ARC and 1 finished hardcover.
More details below, but first a reminder on how to enter:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

I review books well in advance of their release, but sometimes there are books that I need to tell you about before they come out and then on release day. The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias, out today, is one of those books.
I cannot say enough superlative things about this book, but I am also aware that it is hard to read. There is serious violence here, but it is not gratuitous. In fact, everything brutal that happens has a reason in the story. And then there is the fact that it is a story about those who live on the margins-- literally. Life is hard and violent; thus, to portray these characters with any truth, it cannot be sunshine and roses.
I have much more to share in detail below from my detailed Goodreads review. It contains the draft of my LJ Star review, a link to that review, a link to an interview with Iglesias which I did for the June issue of the magazine, and more.
Before I repost all of that information, I need to say this. There are books that I read, often before anyone else, that I know are something special, and I am among the first to officially make note of it in print. This happened when I read The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones and The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. Both went on to win many awards, and not just Horror ones.
This year I have felt that about 2 books and only 2 books. The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay and this one, The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias.
I am not saying this to brag about myself, rather to make you understand that I know what I am talking about when I tell you a book is going to be special.
I am sure many of you already pre-ordered The Devil Takes You Home, but I want you to promote it to the right readers. I am here to help with today's post, so you can know all about this hot book without having to read it yourself.

I think that post says all you need to know. And now you can enter now to win one of two copies. The first number I draw, that person gets the signed ARC and the second, the finished hardcover.
Thanks to Gabino for the signed ARC and Mulholland for the Hard Cover.
Enter now and you are entered going forward. And coming up....2 huge titles from the Booklist SF/F/H spotlight [August issue] that I gave STARS.
Good luck.
