#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: No One is Safe by Philip Fracassi

Today I have an ARC of a collection that recently gave a STAR review to in Booklist; a small press title by a Big 5 author. 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.

I have a full post from earlier this week with a whole bunch more information about Philip Fracassi's upcoming story collection. Click here for all of that, but here is the draft review. 

STAR 
No One is Safe: A Story Collection
By Philip Fracassi
Apr. 2024. 264p. Lethe, paper, $23 (9781590216040).

March 15, 2024 (Booklist).

Fracassi (Boys in the Valley and Gothic), reminds readers that he is not only a rising star as a Horror novelist, but also as a master of the short story, with his latest collection of 14 stories that center on fascinating characters and range in tone from unsettling to absolutely terrifying. The first story, “The Wish,” brilliantly sets the uneasy tone for the entire collection, a tale of a birthday wish with horrific consequences. Fracassi goes on to utilize his remarkable imagination and stunning range to invoke fear in speculative, thought provoking, stories that explore topics such as AI, alien life, Hollywood, a bestselling book, a haunted house as the narrator of its own killing spree, and so much more. However, it is how each story works in tandem– crafting a unique and captivating world, hooking readers immediately, holding their undivided attention, and resolving in a satisfying way that also begs them to turn the page and read just one more– that is most remarkable here. A must read from cover-to-cover for all Horror fans, especially those who enjoy the immersive, original story telling found in collections such as Spin A Black Yarn by Malerman or Breakable Things by Khaw. 

Three Words That Describe This Book: intensely unsettling, captivating, original

Get in on this ARC. As I say above-- it is a MUST read from cover-to-cover. I kept waiting for a story to fall flat. I am still waiting. Also THAT COVER!!!! 

Again, go to this post by me on the main blog for a lot more information including some spoiler free story notes.

Quick note about this specific copy that I am giving away though, only 13 stories are listed in the TOC, but there are 14 inside. They know about the mistake and are fixing it.

Thanks to Lethe Press for the ARC.

Good luck to all who have or will enter.
