#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway 136: Last To Leave The Room by Caitlin Starling

Today I am featuring another title that I just gave a STAR to in the August 2023 issue of Booklist; a book that will be in high demand this October. 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.
Click here to see giveaway #135. Our winner was John from Irondequoit Public Library [NY]. Now on to today's giveaway.

In the annual Booklist Spotlight issue on SF/F/H I had 2 star reviews. I gave away the first of the two last week here. This week it is Last to Leave the Room by Caitlin Starling. 

I LOVED this book and the reason I loved it is because it was so much more than the publisher cover copy would want you to think it is. Also, I am still thinking about some of the issues and concerns this book stirred up in me.

If you like Horror that centers existential dread, look no further. 


Three Words That Describe This Book: Breathtakingly Original, Claustrophobic, Existential Dread

Thanks to St. Martin's Press for the ARC. 

Good Luck!

And remember, when you enter once you are entered going forward. In fact, if you have entered previously and need to update your email from when you first entered, use the info above to contact me. Use the subject "#HorrorForLibraries email update"
