#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: The Nighthouse Keeper [MG]

Today I have an ARC for a book that came out back in October but it is one that you need to know about. 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.

Last year, Lora Senf burst onto the Middle Grade Horror scene with The Clackity. This year readers got the chance to return to Blight Harbor with The Nighthouse Keeper:

Evie once again leaves her world behind to rescue Blight Harbor’s ghosts in this second book in the bone-chilling middle grade Blight Harbor trilogy that’s reminiscent of Doll Bones and Small Spaces.

Evie Von Rathe has been home for only a few weeks from her adventure in the strange world of seven houses when Blight Harbor’s beloved ghosts begin to disappear. Did they leave without saying goodbye, or has something gone horribly wrong? Soon Evie is invited to a mysterious council meeting, where she learns about the Dark Sun Side and a terrible secret.

Yes, the ghosts have gone missing. And that means serious trouble.

With the help of an eleven-year-old (or 111-year-old, but who’s counting) ghost named Lark, trusty Bird, and a plump ghost spider, Evie must find a way to defeat the vicious Nighthouse Keeper responsible for the missing ghosts, save her otherworldly friends, and find her way home from the Dark Sun Side before she’s trapped there forever.

I have read both The Clackity and The Nighthouse Keeper and not only do I recommend this series for all libraries and readers from kids to adults, I think book 2 is even better than The Clackity (which I loved) mostly because it builds so well off of the world she created in the first book and starts Evie on a fascinating path which will continue in future books.

This is the ARC I read for my work on the MG Jury for the Stoker Awards. Winners should read it for themselves and then pass it on to their Youth Departments to make sure they have the series in their collections and remind them that they can use this copy as a prize for a lucky kid.

This is the last giveaway of 2023. The giveaway will return January 11, 2024 with plenty of awesome titles, including some of my STAR review titles from the January 2024 issue of LJ.

Enter now and you are entered going forward.

Good luck!
