#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway 119: 2 FINISHED Copies of a New Story Collection

This week I have 2 FINISHED copies of a brand new story collection that is from one of my most trusted small presses and has praise from Gwendolyn Kiste. Details below, but first, here is 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.

This week I have TWO FINISHED COPIES of Constellations of Ruin: Stories by Andrew S. Fuller. Why the capitalization? Because, I normally give away ARCs which you cannot add to your collections. This book however, I highly suggest you  add if you win, and consider ordering is you don't. Here is the back cover copy including praise from Gwendolyn Kiste:

An octopus chosen for a secret mission; generations march through a mycelial tunnel in space; spirits visit a post-apocalyptic fishing village; houses revel when no one is home; a lifetime of seeing invisible monsters; the world begins granting unspoken wishes—these are only a few of the encounters in Constellations of Ruin. In this short story collection, Andrew S. Fuller explores growth and loss, survival and resistance, on a tour from lost neighborhoods to cursed cities to strange futures. Each tale contains wonder and horror, crafted in a stirring and unforgettable manner. 

“The 26 diverting speculative shorts of Fuller’s collection prove entirely transporting.”—Publishers Weekly 

“These strange and heady tales will take you into worlds of dreams and nightmares, carrying you along with vivid and immersive prose that will take hold of you and not let you go. Put this collection at the top of your reading list.”—Gwendolyn Kiste, three-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens and Reluctant Immortals

And here is more about the author as well:

Andrew S. Fuller writes stories that have appeared in magazines, anthologies, comics, and short films, and his debut fiction collection Constellations of Ruin coming April 2023. Since 1999, he has served as Editor of Three-Lobed Burning Eye magazine, publishing stories by many authors. He grew up Nebraska and other places, climbing trees and reading books, dabbling in archery and metal music, and now lives in Portland, Oregon with his spouse and pets, not far from rivers and forests and a few extinct(?) volcanoes. Find him online at andrewsfuller.com, and on social media as @andrewsfuller.

As I mentioned above, JournalStone/Trepidatio is one of my most trusted independent publishers. They put out books by a huge range of authors, including NYT bestsellers. Their books stand up to multiple checkouts. And, most importantly, their editors have an eye for talent. 

Get on the Fuller bandwagon now by entering this week's giveaway.

Please note, these books will come directly from the author as soon as he receives his author copies. The book is coming out this week. I will send your addresses to the author after confirming with you. 

I am asking you, the winners, to add these to your collections and get them into your horror reader's hands. And if you are not the winner, consider visiting their website and ordering one (or other books by JournalStone/Trepidatio) for your collection.
