#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: Never Wake: An Anthology of Dream Horror

The #HorrorForLibraries giveaway is back after a busy October where 16 books were given away and I lost track of what number giveaway this is. So going forward, I am no longer numbering these weekly giveaways. Besides that, nothing else has changed.

Today I have a finished book. An anthology by one of my vetted small presses you can trust, featuring some of you patron's favorite Horror authors. 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 the previous giveaway. Our winner was Sara (who entered back in 2020) from Marshall County [KY]  Public Library. Now on to today's giveaway.

Never Wake: An Anthology of Dream Horror is edited by Kenneth w. Cain and Tim Meyer and includes stories by Eric LaRocca, Cynthia Pelayo, Gwendolyn Kiste, Lee Murray, Philip Fracassi and more. Please note I have given multiple stars to all four of those authors for their work.

Even without know what the anthology's theme is, this a book you need in your general Horror collections. 

However, that theme is also a draw and will bring people who don't always consider themselves Horror readers to this book. From the publisher's description:
Where do we go when we dream?

Since the beginning of time, people have argued the meaning of dreams. Are they symbolic visions that hold great meaning and personal significance? Are they portals into other worlds? Or are they just a series of random events our mind shows us when we fall asleep? Whatever the case, this much is true—the mind can be a scary place to venture, even for a few hours.

NEVER WAKE is an anthology of dream horror, bringing you several mind-bending tales of nightmares, hallucinations, and phantasmagoria from some of the hottest talent in horror fiction. But don’t worry—when you (wake up screaming) flip the last page, just remember to tell yourself, “It was only just a story…” Unless it wasn’t.

Featuring an introduction from Sadie “Mother Horror” Hartmann and stories Cynthia Pelayo, Philip Fracassi, Gwendolyn Kiste, Eric LaRocca, Lee Murray, Todd Keisling, Laurel Hightower, and many more!

Thank you to Amanda (who is also a library worker) from Crystal Lake Publishing, I am offering you a finished copy of this book that you can add to your library collections immediately. But everyone should consider buying a copy, in case you don't win.

Remember, when you enter now, you are entered going forward.   

Good luck!
