#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: My Darling Dreadful Things

Today I have an ARC of a May release that is a MUST BUT for all libraries. 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.

My Darling Dreadful Things is out May 14th from Poisoned Pen Press an imprint of Sourcebooks. From Goodreads:

In a world where the dead can wake and walk among us, what is truly real?

Roos Beckman has a spirit companion only she can see. Ruth—strange, corpse-like, and dead for centuries—is the only good thing in Roos’ life, which is filled with sordid backroom séances organized by her mother. That is, until wealthy young widow Agnes Knoop attends one of these séances and asks Roos to come live with her at the crumbling estate she inherited upon the death of her husband. The manor is unsettling, but the attraction between Roos and Agnes is palpable. So how does someone end up dead? 

Roos is caught red-handed, but she claims a spirit is the culprit. Doctor Montague, a psychologist tasked with finding out whether Roos can be considered mentally fit to stand trial, suspects she’s created an elaborate fantasy to protect her from what really happened. But Roos knows spirits are real; she's loved one of them. She'll have to prove her innocence and her sanity, or lose everything.

Poisoned Pen Press is a must read imprint of Sourcebooks that focuses on mysteries both real and supernatural. Their biggest author is Darcy Coates, as if you needed more than my word to tell you that you need to pay attention to them. These are books for your fans of Jennifer McMahon and Simone St. James-- which are A LOT of your readers.

So first, I was primed to trust the publisher when they sent me this ARC. But then I read more about its author, a native of the Netherlands. She writes queer gothic, and scary stuff. You can read more about her here.

This book delivers for all of your readers who like chills but not terror. As a result, it is a title that will appeal to so many of your readers. Get it on order now, but also take a moment to enter the giveaway. Enter once and you are entered going forward.

Thank you Sourcebooks for this ARC.

Good luck.
