#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: New Chuck Wendig and a Bonus Book

Today I have an ARC of one of the hottest books of Spring (a book so hot I lost out on the chance to review it) and a finished book by a lesser known voice making this a 2 book prize-pack week. Details below but first, here are the rules on how to enter:

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.

Chuck Wendig has a new novel coming April 29th.

The Staircase in the Woods  by Chuck Wendig.

A group of friends investigates the mystery of a strange staircase in the woods in this mesmerizing horror novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Accidents.

Five high school friends are bonded by an oath to protect one another no matter what.

Then, on a camping trip in the middle of the forest, they find something a mysterious staircase to nowhere.

One friend walks up—and never comes back down.

Then the staircase disappears. Twenty years later, the staircase has reappeared. Now the group returns to find the lost boy—and what lies beyond the staircase in the woods. . . .

As I mentioned above, I asked to review it in Booklist, but it was already claimed by someone else.  From that review:

"Continuing his streak of top-flight fiction, Wendig gifts us this Gothic-tinged horror story. ...Another first-rate novel from an author whose imagination and talent seem to know no bounds."

I know you all are already ordering this one as Wendig continues to be a must buy for all library collections with every new novel. But I want to share an ARC (courtesy of the publisher) with one lucky winner, along with a finished copy of an author I am pretty sure you do NOT know about-- Ray Van Horn Jr.

Behind the Shadows by Ray Van Horn Jr

Conjuring ten haunting tales to bring a shiver down your spine, author Ray Van Horn, Jr. shares a mixtape blend reminiscent of EC Comics and 80s horror: unsettling narratives to invade your dreams and keep you up at night.

"Ray Van Horn, Jr.'s obvious love for the movies, music, comics, and -yes- the horror fiction of the 1980s bleeds through every page of BEHIND THE SHADOWS. Ray's got the good stuff here, folks." - Dayton Ward, New York Times best-selling author, Star Trek universe

"Like the great EC comics of yore, BEHIND THE SHADOWS is a hell of a horror anthology - literally! It's gruesome, terrifying, and tinged with a punk attitude. What else do you need, and why are still reading this testimonial? Buy this damn book!" -Josh Eiserike, author THE VERY FINAL LAST GIRLS; CHARM CITY; G.I. JOE: RENEGADES 

"You wanna know what's BEHIND THE SHADOWS? Ray Van Horn, Jr. is more than happy to show you. Fractured families and frothing creatures. Endless nights and pulsing darkness. It's a nostalgic ride back to the horrors of your youth. Logic isn't always logical, and the horrors don't always end when the lights come on. But it's a damn good time!" -John Boden, author SNARL and THE ETIQUETTE OF BOOBY TRAPS

This finished book is courtesy of the author and will be in the package with the Wendig for one lucky winner.

Remember, you enter once and you are entered going forward.

Good luck.
