After a few weeks off to recover from 31 Days of Horror, the #HorrorForLibraries giveaway is back, and boy is it a good one. This week I am offering the upcoming book by a NYT Bestselling author, a title I just gave a star to in the current issue of Booklist. Details below, but first, here are the rules 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.

Now on to today's giveaway, All Hallows by Christopher Golden.
I will let the book review speak for itself. You can also click here for my longer post with more information about this title.
Enter now and you are entered going forward. I will have a copy of the upcoming Stephen Graham Jones coming ups very soon. You don't want to miss out.
Bestselling Horror author Golden is back with an original and realistically frightening entry into the popular Halloween night subgenre, but readers will rejoice as they encounter it any time of year. October 31, 1984, on a suburban cul-de-sac, Rick Barbosa is setting up his famous Haunted Wood attraction in the back yard with his 17 year-old daughter, Chloe, for the last time. The entire neighborhood, like most of the country, is at a crossroads as societal change and family drama are coming to a head up and down the street. But this year there are also some creepy, unaccompanied children mixing in with the trick or treaters, children who are from another time and only have until Midnight to escape “The Cunning Man.” Uneasy from the opening moments, this tale builds its tension relentlessly with multiple points of view from a range of neighbors of all ages, revealing unsettling domestic dramas, until it bursts wide open, with multiple twists, each revealing something more violent and terrifying than anyone could have imagined, and leaving no one unscathed. Suggest confidently to fans of a wide range of fresh, violent, and immersive folk horror such as Lute by Thorne, The Autumnal by Kraus, and Hex by Olde Heuvelt.
YA: With its Slenderman meets Stranger Things vibe, Halloween night setting, and a strong cast of teen protagonists carrying the narration, this will be a year-round crowd pleaser for teen readers, replacing titles like Something Wicked This Way Comes as the new Halloween set standard bearer.

Good luck!
