#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway #37: 2 Story Collections from Undertow Publications

   It's #HorrorForLibraries Giveaway day. Here is a refresher on the basic rules to enter:

  1. You need to be affiliated with an American public 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. 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.
  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 a fun 2-fer of brand new story collections, both published by Undertow Press [one of my vetted small horror presses for libraries], and both of which I reviewed in the current issues of Library Journal and Booklist. I highly recommend adding both to your collections no matter what happens with this giveaway, but the copies I am offering today, courtesy of the publisher, are finished paperbacks. You can add these immediately if you win.


First up, To Drown in Dark Water by Steve Toase. The full review appears in the April 1 issue of Booklist and a draft is here. Becky's Three Words That Describe This Book: terrifying, remarkably restrained, intense unease

Next is I Would Haunt You If I Could by Sean Padraic Birnie. The full review is in the April 1 issue of Library Journal and some of my notes are hereBecky's Three Words That Describe This Book: terrifyingly mundane, character driven, disorienting

Good luck!

And coming over the next few weeks.....giveaways by some of the authors appearing for StokerCon's 5th Annual Librarians' Day [including the upcoming Grady Hendrix novel]. Details on how to join us for that event are here.
