#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway #129: The Handyman Method by Cutter and Sullivan in Celebration of My Horror Genre Preview

This week I have a copy of one of the titles featured in my 2023 Horror Genre Preview for Library Journal. Details below, but first, here is how you 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 on RA for All, I have this post announcing my 2023 Horror Genre Preview as the July cover story in Library Journal which includes my unedited, uncut article as well as a link to the LJ site.

Today, I am giving away one of the titles in that preview, a hotly anticipated novel co-written by a #HorrorForLibraries fan favorite, Nick Cutter-- The Handyman Method. Here is the info I received from the publisher about this exciting title.

When the Saban family moves into an unfinished development community, cracks begin to emerge in both their new residence and their lives. As a father wrestling with his unemployment and uncertain place in the world, Trent Saban’s attempts at DIY home repairs lead him down an online rabbit hole—where a paranormal radicalization surreptitiously takes hold. Stepping into the sole bread-winner role, his wife Rita tries to hold the family together as matters spiral out of control, going from bad to worse, even as their son Milo, a boy left to his own devices, exhibits the sinister side effects of far too much screentime…  

Blending the real-life terrors of insecurity, technology, and fragile family dynamics into a haunted house horror-show, Cutter and Sullivan offer a chilling domestic story that questions whether the most frightening monsters are those seen staring right back at us in the mirror.  

Thanks to Gallery/Saga Press for the ARC. 

Remember, you enter once and you are entered going forward.

Good luck. And please check out my Horror Genre Preview and start filling up your order carts so that your shelves are properly stocked with scary titles.
