#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: But Won't I Miss Me by Tiffany Tsao

Today on the giveaway I have an ARC of a book that appeared in my Horror Review Column in the April 2026 Issue of Library Journal.  I gave it a star, and quite honestly, this is the book that has most surprised me all year. 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.

Last week's winner was Michael from UT. Now on to this week's giveaway. 

When I compose my Library Journal Horror Review column, I work intentionally to combine titles people expect and undertake radar books. Some I know nothing more about than what the publisher is putting out on their sites. 

But Won't I Miss Me by Tiffany Tsao caught my eye because either sounded interesting; however, nothing prepared me for hoe AMAZING this book was. I went into it with hopeful expectations and the results, blew me away. I want to shout from as many rooftops about this book as possible, as a result, I also posted about it on the general blog today as well.

In that post, I included all of my notes about this book. You can also see those here, but for this giveaway post I will stick to just sharing the draft review:

Three Words That Describe This Book: maternal/body horror, slightly askew to our world, discomfiting 

Draft Review: The very best speculative fiction takes readers out of their world, telling a story meant to help them grapple with the important questions staring them in their real world faces. Tsao demonstrates this in her alternative reality science fiction-body horror-thriller, asking readers to contemplate how society fails mothers, the horror of following the status quo, and most provocatively, what happens when you are your own victim? Vivi, a Chinese-Indonesian living in Australia lives in a world where human mothers not only birth a child, but they also experience their own visceral rebirth, an event that will shock and trouble readers, but here it is seen as necessary to give mothers the super human strength they need to raise children. Vivi’s rebirth had complications leaving her alone, exhausted, and with a baby to care for. Readers hang on every detail, falling easily into the world, and its complex, flawed, but sympathetic characters, never able to shake the unsettling tone set by the title, not even close to ready for the twist when it drops. A master class in storytelling that will leave readers, if not reborn, forever changed for the experience.

Verdict: Tsao gives readers a terrifying, raw, and honest look at motherhood in the vein of horror titles like Tantrum by Rachel Eve Moutlon, Womb City by Tlotlo Tsamaase, The Push by Ashley Audrain.

Please get this book on order. It comes out May 5th from HarperVia. Thank you to the publisher for the ARC that I will be giving away to one of you.

Good luck!

Last week's winner was Sophie from IL. Now on to this week's giveaway. 

Today I am featuring an ARC of a book I read for my Horror Review Column in the April 2026 Issue of Library Journal. 

She Waits Where Shadows Gather by Michelle Tang. From my draft review:

Canadian spouses Avery and Carlos, both of Chinese-Filipino descent, arrive in Manila for an indefinite stay. Carlos is moving his popular show, disproving the supernatural, back to his family’s haunted manor house. Told from both Carlos and Avery’s perspectives, readers are aware from the start that there is unease about the move and the status of their relationship, but the house– its covered mirrors, phantom knockings in the night, and history of restless souls– makes itself heard immediately. After a home cleansing ceremony, Carlos is left bedridden by a car accident, triggering the release of generations of secrets, ghosts, and mortal danger forcing Carlos and Avery to fight for both their relationship and their lives. Filled with terrifying Filipino horror folklore, readers will enjoy uncovering a different culture of chills while being consumed by the drama unfolding in front of their eyes. Verdict: A twisty and immersive haunted house story featuring sinister ghosts, who will use whatever fractures they can find in human relationships to gain a foothold in the mortal world like in The Villa, Once Beloved by Victor Manibo and We Live Here Now by Sarah Pinborough.

Three Words That Describe This Book: spotlight on International horror lore, intense unease, dual points of view

This novel comes out on May 5, 2026. Thank you to Sourcebooks Library Marketing for this ARC.

#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: Bodies of Work by Clay McLeod Chapman (and a bonus story collection)

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.

Last week's winner was Emily from NY. Now on to this week's giveaway. 

I cannot review every book, even if I really like the author, even if I really want to. Today's book is a great example of that. But thankfully, others are there to do the work as seen below with Chapman's upcoming novella and its starred review in LJ.

Bodies of Work by Clay McCleod Chapman

Library Journal review:

STAR Winston Kemper is alone in the world, working as a church janitor and living in a one-room apartment. In his home he is creating an epic work of words and pictures, written and drawn across the floors, walls, and a number of notebooks. The room is shared with the women Winston has murdered to take their voices. But the Butterfly Girls have found a way to speak to Winston and secretly plot their revenge. Their voices act as a chorus, providing commentary as they argue. These discussions become complicated and uncomfortable as Winston’s history is revealed. Chapman (Acquired Taste) never allows readers to make a simple judgment, and the book is filled with creepiness and unease from the start. Readers will fall into the book even as they sense the dreaminess is filled with nightmares and terrors. 

VERDICT Blurring between dreams and reality, this novella explores the world of a labyrinthine, disturbed mind. Chapman’s short fiction is an excellent introduction to his work, and this latest is another one of his excellent portrayals of complicated emotions in horror. Readers of Cynthia Pelayo’s “Chicago Saga” and her poetry collection Into the Forest and All the Way Through will especially find this book compelling. --Lila Denning

Bodies of Work comes out next week on April 7, 2026. Thank you to Titan Books for the giveaway copy of the ARC.

While I have your attention, I wanted to also let you know about an up and coming voice, and their story collection from a trusted small press.

Nothing Has Happened to You: Stories by Rory Say. From the book description on the Lethe Press site:

Nothing Has Happened to You is a collection of short stories where the ordinary twists into the uncanny and the familiar becomes strange. Memory, family, and grief blur with phantoms that may or may not exist, and the smallest moments—opening a door, telling a story, looking into the dark—carry the weight of dread.

A young girl confides in a silent companion no one else can see, who grows smaller each time he returns. A lover reveals she has been dead for years and will soon be forgotten. A tenant discovers his basement suite may not exist at all, except as an echo of guilt. Elsewhere, lost children, haunted objects, and voices from the grave stir quietly at the edges of daily life.

Rory Say, whose work has appeared in Weird Horror, Dark Recesses, Metastellar, The NoSleep Podcast, Tales to Terrify and more, writes with precision, lyricism, and an unshakable sense of unease. Each tale is self-contained, yet together they form a world where nothing is certain, and dread lingers long after the last page.

Nothing has Happened to You is already out and you can add it to your collections here. Thank you to Lethe Press for this copy to giveaway to one of you.

Enter once and you are entered going forward. In the coming weeks, I will be featuring books that I have reviewed in the April issues of LJ and Booklist. Stay tuned.

Good luck!

#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: Women in Horror Month Week 4

Today on the giveaway I am celebrating Women's History Month with a giveaway each Thursday this month of books written by women in Horror. I am focusing on books I did not get a chance to review officially, but are titles I think belong in every public library. Today is our last week and I have two finished copies of great books for 1 winner. 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.

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.

Last week's winner was Claudia from TX. Now on to this week's giveaway. 

Today I have a finished copy of a book I just missed when it came out. I am really sad about it because the author had a previous book which I LOVED and STILL THINK ABOUT [The Taxidermist's Lover]. This book is Myrrh by Polly Hall. From the description:

A woman searching for her birth-parents unlocks the secrets of her horrific past, as she tries to stop the goblin within in this kaleidoscopic dark psychological horror, with a dread-inducing climax you will never forget. Perfect for fans of Eric LaRocca and Catriona Ward. 

Myrrh has a goblin inside her, a voice in her head that tells her all the things she's done wrong, that berates her and drags her down. Desperately searching for her birth-parents across dilapidated seaside towns in the South coast of England, she finds herself silenced and cut off at every step. 

Cayenne is trapped in a loveless marriage, the distance between her and her husband growing further and further each day. Longing for a child, she has visions promising her a baby. 

As Myrrh's frustrations grow, the goblin in her grows louder and louder, threatening to tear apart the few relationships she holds dear and destroy everything around her. When Cayenne finds her husband growing closer to his daughter, Cayenne's stepdaughter, pushing her further out of his life, she makes a decision that sends her into a terrible spiral. 

The stories of these women will unlock a past filled with dark secrets, strange connections; all leading to an unforgettable, horrific climax.

Titan Books sent me this finished, hard cover copy for me to give to one of you to add to your library. And even if you don't win, it is not too late to add this book. It will be new to your readers. 

My second title is a second finished copy of a book I also gave away last week, by an author whose work I have spotlighted before from a small Horror press you can trust. Ink Vine and Other Swamp Stories by Elizabeth Broadbent:

Stay the hell out of the swamp — the backwater town of Lower Congaree recites it like an eleventh commandment.

Lower Congaree is a backwater of a backwater, a poverty-stricken South Carolina town where nail salons come and go, but the Marine recruitment center never closes. Swamp surrounds it, and strangeness stretches back as far as anyone can remember.

For the first time, Undertaker Books has collected Elizabeth Broadbent’s intertwined Southern Gothic stories, including her linked novella, Ink Vine. Swamp witches and standing stones, battered mansions and shoeless patriarchs, strip clubs and roadside diners—Lower Congaree blossoms with the otherworldly, the bizarre, the outcast and the outside of time.

Ink Vine 

 “A stunning debut with a narrative voice so strong, you’ll feel the swamp breathing down your neck. Eerie and very moving.” —Tim McGregor, author of Eynhallow and Wasps in the Ice Cream

When exotic dancer Emmy Joiner escapes to the swamp, she meets beautiful, long-legged Zara, the first girl she dares to kiss. But the small-town South hates a woman who dares to dance instead of plucking chickens for minimum wage. As Emmy’s life falls apart, her relationship with Zara grows more tangled and bizarre. Zara’s offering something beautiful. Its price may be more than Emmy’s willing to pay.

I love how these are interconnected stories but also-- SWAMP stories are very popular, even with non-horror readers. This collection reminds me a lot of Alan Baxter's Tales from the Gulp series. I had a review of the third book in this series of connected novellas, The Rise, in the February 2026 issue of Booklist. 

This is a finished copy of the book which came out on March 6th. You can add it to your collection right now. Thanks to Undertaker Books for this copy which will go out with the finished hardcover of Myrrh to one winner.

And that concludes my Women in Horror Month Giveaways. Four weeks, eight books, four winners. Next week I will begin giving away the books for which I have reviews in the April issues of both Booklist and Library Journal. It will take a few weeks, and there are some great titles, including one of my under the radar picks for a top book of the year.

Enter now and you are entered going forward. 

Good Luck!

I have an ARC of a hotly anticipated May book and a finished copy of a story collection from a proven small press both for 1 winner. These are titles I did not have room to review personally, but I am very excited about them and think you should consider adding them to your collections, whether you win or not.

Let me start with a title that you have seen on many 2026 most anticipated titles, Bone of My Bone by Johanna Van Veen. From the publisher description:

Bram Stoker Award–nominee and USA Today bestseller Johanna van Veen unveils a sapphic folk-horror tour de force—perfect for fans of The VVitch and The Salt Grows Heavy. A skull's grin is eternal…

The year is 1635.

Sister Ursula, a young nun fleeing the ruins of her convent, and Elsebeth, a sharp-witted peasant, escape a band of marauding soldiers and disappear into the Bavarian forest. War scorches the land, and no one survives it alone. Amid the devastation, they find something in the arms of a dying the gilded skull of a saint.

It is said that if you reunite the saint's skull with her body, a wish will be granted. Desperate for salvation, and each with secret desires of their own, Ursula and Elsebeth follow a ragged map across the blighted countryside. But darkness follows them. A necromancer, drawn to the relic's power. The saint herself, whispering at night. And as the lines between blessing and curse blur, the women must face a harrowing the magic they seek comes at a cost. At the journey's end, they'll face an impossible choice—one that could tear apart everything they know… or bind them to each other forever.

This one comes out May 26th from Poisoned Pen Press (who sent me this book to give away to one of you). People are already talking about it. Double check it is on order.

My second title is a finished copy by an author whose work I have spotlighted before from a small Horror press you can trust. Ink Vine and Other Swamp Stories by Elizabeth Broadbent:

Last week's winner was Angela from OH. Now on to this week's giveaway. 

This week I have ARCS of two books that come out in April 2026 for 1 winner. These are titles I did not have room to review personally, but I am very excited about them and think you should consider adding them to your collections, whether you win or not.

I am listing them in the order they will be coming out.

First up, Invasive Species by New York Times Bestselling Author Ellery Adams coming April 14th from Hanover Square Press. Description:

“Dark and delectable. I gobbled this book up and enjoyed every last bite.“ —Kirsten Miller, author of The Change and The Women of Wild Hill

The women in Cold Harbor all have something to prove, and they'll have to do it in a world full of monsters.

Something’s not right in Cold Harbor—more so than usual. While this sleepy small town has seen its fair share of monsters in cheating husbands and leering bosses, none are as hungry as Mrs. Smith. The mysterious resident has finally emerged from her crumbling mansion on the hill, mesmerizing the townspeople with her beauty. Her secret? Nine human sacrifices to feed her immortality.

Natalie Scott is more worried about Mrs. Smith blocking her first real estate sale—the one that will take her from stay-at-home mom to working woman extraordinaire. She's eager to prove herself in a world where the social mores of 1980s suburbia reign, where she's expected to keep a magazine-perfect home and raise beautiful children, all while sticking to her husband's budget. Natalie's two best friends are facing their own demons, and Mrs. Smith and her deep, dark woods are an easy scapegoat for everyone's problems.

But Natalie's twelve-year-old daughter, Jill, and her Icelandic housekeeper, Una, can sense something deeper at play. Armed with library books and a whole lot of grit, Jill and Una team up to save the town once and for all. But as the rest of Cold Harbor sinks into anger, fear, and jealousy, they’ll have to confront the What does it really mean to be a monster?

This one is going to be a huge cross over hit with readers who don't think they like Horror. Spoiler alert, they do. Seriously though, this is for fans of Lindy Ryan's Bless Your Heart series (Ryan's latest was in last week's giveaway) and Slayers of Old by Hines which I reviewed for Booklist here.

Plus female sea monsters! So you know you need to add this one to your collections.

Thank you to Hanover Square Press for this ARC which I am giving away to one of you.

Next up is Hex House by Amy Jane Stewart coming out on April 28th from Titan Books. Description:

A feverishly told, dark and unsettling Scotland-set fairy-tale about a safe haven for women which transforms them into vessels of revenge, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, A. G Slatter and Julia Armfield 

ELLY

Elly is running. Pregnant and still in her wedding dress, she flees the cottage that her new husband has rented for their wedding night. Because he’s not what people think he is – and she knows that, one day, he’ll hurt her in a way she can’t fix. Freezing and lost in the dead of night, Elly begins to lose hope.

A woman in the woods alone is never the beginning of the story. It’s usually the end.

So, when a beautiful house appears out of nowhere and a woman beckons her inside, it almost feels too good to be true.

Welcome to Hex a refuge, a home, a sanctuary. A place that can only be found by those who truly need it; a place that promises to teach Elly how to access a power more incredible – and more terrifying – than anything she could have imagined.

SIOBHAN

Four years after Siobhan meets Elly at Hex House, her life is in ruins. Once a promising filmmaker invited to the house to make a documentary with her brother, Theo, she’s given up on her dream after witnessing unspeakable horrors there. Now, she spends her time drinking too much, toying with an older man in increasingly dangerous ways, and trying to get Theo to speak to her again. She ignores the scar on her stomach that never fully heals.

That is, until someone reaches out with news about Hex House that could change everything.

And Siobhan knows, deep down, that she was always destined to return.

I 100% agree with the readalikes of T. Kingfisher, A. G Slatter, and Julia Armfield provided above.

Thank you to Titan Books for this ARC which I am giving away to this week's winner as well.

Two books by Women in Horror for one winner. And this is only week 2 of 4. I have at least 3 more books to giveaway.

You are going to want to enter now because you will be entered going forward. 

Good Luck!
