Today I am giving away an ARC of a book that was part of the Booklist/LibraryReads Read N Rave at ALA Annual. Details below but first, here are the rules on how to enter:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 the previous giveaway. Our winner was Kelsey from AZ. Now on to today's giveaway.
Jonathan Janz is an example of a midlist horror author who your patrons would love, if only you had books by him to hand out. He has a story in the Stand anthology-- The End of the World As We Know It--which is going to be a bestseller next week. Janz is always a great readalike for Stephen King. And in my book, Why I Love Horror, I suggest Janz for fans of Josh Malerman. When Josh was giving his essay a final once over and saw my suggestion of Janz for his readers, he emphatically gave me a "Hell Yeah!" for that comp.
Janz has a book coming out September 16th from Blackstone Publishing entitled Veil. From the publisher's summary (with a blurb from Malerman):
“The voice in Veil is as present, strong, charming, singular, and desperate as any I’ve read. The story of a family man who will stop at nothing to protect those he loves. Even if those threats are beyond sanity, reason, and a once agreed upon reality. Janz has written another absolute gem of the genre.” —Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird BoxFrom beloved horror author Jonathan Janz, Veil is a heart-stopping story of one father who will stop at nothing to save his family.It begins at night. People vanish from parks and city streets. Then in broad daylight, they’re dragged screaming into the woods, into the water, into the sky. People take refuge in their homes, but still the invisible creatures come, ripping people away from their horrorstruck loved ones. Spouses. Parents. Children. Nowhere is safe and no defense can stop them. Because nothing can save you from what you can’t see.High school teacher John Calhoun loses his son the first night. A day later, they take his wife. For two months, he and his thirteen-year-old daughter manage to survive, but in the end, she is abducted too. In John’s darkest moment, he meets a motley group of survivors who have a a near-fatal car accident has given one of them the ability to detect what normal human eyesight cannot.The survivors believe they can replicate the brain injury that will enable them to see the creatures. To discover how they’re invading our world. To fight them. Desperate to save his family, John volunteers. And after the veil of invisibility is lifted, he and his new friends will risk everything to achieve the enter an alien world and bring their loved ones back.
This is a book you need in your collections. It is an example of a book people would love if only they knew about it.
