31 Days of Horror: Day 24-- #HorrorForLibraries Giveaway of Two Beautiful Anthologies from Flame Tree Press

Today I have two hard cover, beautiful, finished Horror anthologies courtesy of their publishers. Both are currently out and both include authors already on your shelves. 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.
Click here for last week's two book giveaway. Our winners were Rebecca and Juliana. Now on to this week's giveaway.

Flame Tree Press has amazing, gorgeous anthologies that are made with luxury paper but are sold at standard hard cover prices-- $26.99. They have a few series of this high-end anthologies but one of their most recent ones is called Beyond & Within:
The Flame Tree Beyond and Within short story collections bring together tales of myth and imagination by modern and contemporary writers, carefully selected by anthologists, and sometimes featuring short stories from a single author. Overall, the series presents a wide range of diverse and inclusive voices with myth, folkloric-inflected short fiction, and an emphasis on the supernatural, science fiction, the mysterious and the speculative. The books themselves are gorgeous, with foiled covers, printed edges and published only in hardcover editions, offering a lifetime of reading pleasure.
Today I have two of their newest titles in that series to offer you. These are ready to be put right on your shelves.

The books will be given away to 2 winners in the order of how they are listed here. Please click on the book covers for specific details about each anthology. And big thanks to Flame Tree Press for sending me these books to giveaway to one of you.

This also marks the end of #HorrorForLibraries Giveaway during the blog-a-thon this October. I gave away 12 books to 12 winners over the course of our 31 Days together. However, since Halloween is on Thursday next week, and that day is always saved for Summer Scares Spokesperson Announcement day, there will not be a giveaway next week.

But, you can still enter to win between now and 11/14 when the giveaway returns. I have saved some great books for the end of the year including the upcoming Clay McLeod Chapman and Grady Hendrix.

Enter now to make sure you are entered going forward. 

Good luck!

  1. Hi Becky! I love your blog so much. Recently you did a webinar where you worked with some awesome presenters to talk about Horror and Romance and gave reader's advisory for both. I am having a hard time finding that webinar again and was wondering if you have a link that I can follow to rewatch it. Thanks so much!
