#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: 2 Books by Adam Cesare to One Winner

Today I have an ARC of a finished copy of the third book in a very popular and EXCELLENT YA series as well as an ARC of another book by the same author. More details below, but first here are the rules for the giveaway:

1. You need to be affiliated with an American 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.

Today I have an awesome giveaway because it is 1 author, 2 books, from 2 publishers, one finished copy, and one ARC. And it is all YA Horror star Adam Cesare. 

Here are the books I am offering, both to one winner, siting on the windowsill in my office. 

First up let's talk about the Clown in a Cornfield series. When the first book came out in 2020, I fought to get it allowed to be in my LJ Adult Horror column. Yes it is YA, but I wanted it to have as many eyes as possible because it was too good to get lost in the pandemic publishing back hole. You can read my star review here. 

That first book in the series won the Bram Stoker Award and was a Summer Scares 2022 title.

Book 3: Clown in a Cornfield: The Church of Frendo comes out on Tuesday and HarperTeen sent me a finished copy to pass on to one of you! I was also tickled to see a quote from my STAR of the first book on the back of the hardcover for this third book. 

In case you don't know about the series (and if that is true, fix that today because this is a perfect YA-Adult crossover slasher series for anyone interested in Horror at this moment), here is the publisher description of Book 3:

The thrills and chills are far from over in the third novel from Bram Stoker Award winner and master of scare, horror legend Adam Cesare. Quinn has just survived yet another bloody run-in with the murderous clown Frendo, but somehow still she knows this won’t be the last. Tired of being hunted and seeing innocent people hurt, Quinn believes the only way to beat the horror is to take justice into her own hands--and stop the Frendo followers herself. Little does she know that this path will take her across cornfields and state lines, to where she will have to face the most dangerous and bloody menace True believers. It’s an all-new tale in this terrifying trio series about the villains inside us all, from the master of slashers and suspense, award–winning author Adam Cesare. 

I am excited to offer you this copy that you can add to your collections immediately. 

But I also wanted to alert you to Cesare's upcoming (October 1) YA paperback release with Union Square, Influencer:

Aaron Fortin is new in town. He drives a brand-new Acura—a gift from his parents for uprooting him in the middle of senior year. Showing up on his first day at the local public school in that nice of a car? He knows he’ll never blend in, and he doesn’t care to try. The car, the new kid mystique, he can use all that…

Crystal Giordano carpools to the same school in her friend Trevor’s beat-up van. In the van along with Crystal and Trevor are Paul, Harmony, and Gayle. Crystal’s technically part of their misfit group, but most of the time, she feels like she’s the only one who doesn’t fit.

When Aaron Fortin sits at their lunch table, Crystal can see he’s not who he says he is. But how big of a fraud is Aaron Fortin? Crystal clumsily exposes Aaron and becomes his target, falling victim to his insidious campaign to erase her. Only then does she discover who he truly is—and it’s so much worse than she thought.

As her friends begin to follow him one by one, Crystal wonders if she can protect them or if his influence is just too strong.

This one you might not already have on order. Fix that now. 

Finally, Cesare has an awesome YouTube channel where he talks about Horror books and movies, both separately and together. It is a MUST watch for fans of Horror yes, but also, those of you who are a little scared to read it. Cesare talks about Horror from the place of a fan and an author. You can learn a lot about the genre from him.

Thanks to both publishers for sending me these books to share with you

Good Luck!
