#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: Ghost Camera by Darcy Coates

Today I have an ARC from a USA Today Bestselling Author and Library Patron Favorite (she's also the sweetest human). Details below but first, the rules on 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.
Click here to see the previous giveaway. Our winner was Michael from Oak Park [IL] Public Library. Now on to today's giveaway.

Darcy Coates is one of the most popular novelists in Australia and since Poisoned Pen Press have been releasing them here in American she is among the most popular Horror authors here as well. Her next American release is Ghost Camera coming July 30th. It is a collection featuring the novella that gives the book it's title and new stories.

From NetGalley where this titles is at the top of the most requested books list (as of 2/28 at 4:30 pm central at least):
When Jenine finds an abandoned polaroid camera, she playfully snaps a photo without a second thought. But there's something wrong with the image: a ghostly figure stands in the background, watching her.

Fixated on her.

Moving one step closer with every picture she takes. Desperate, Jenine shares her secret with her best friend, Bree. Together they realize the camera captures unsettling impressions of the dead. But now the ghosts seem to be following the two friends. And with each new photo taken, a terrible danger grows ever clearer… 

DISCOVER CHILLING NEW BONUS STORIES, INCLUDING:
  • A woman survives a plane crash in a remote arctic tundra, accompanied only by a stranger who seems fixated on something moving through the blinding snow. 
  • A house stands empty. Hungry. Waiting for the children drawn to it like moths to a flame. 
  • A woman finds a shoebox filled with old VHS tapes. They have a note attached: "Don't watch. You'll regret it." And more!

Thanks to Sourcebooks and their awesome library marketing team, I have an ARC to giveaway to one of you. 

Enter now and you are entered going forward.

And reminder, if it has been more than 4 weeks from when you won, you are also eligible to reenter. 

Good Luck!
