#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway #48: 2 Summer Horror Options

After a few weeks off, the #HorrorForLibraries giveaway is back and as a thank you for your patience I have 2 books with a Summer twist.

More details on this week's giveaway below but first, 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. 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.

And now, this week's giveaway. First I have one of the Summer Scares 2019 titles, the YA Anthology Slasher Girls & Monster Boys edited by April Genevieve Tucholke. You can click here for information on that title and all of the 2019 Summer Scares choices in the Summer Scares Archive here.

Second, I have one of this summer's buzzy indie Horror novels courtesy of the publisher,  Malignant Summer by Tim Meyer. From the Goodreads entry: 

It’s 1998 in Hooperstown, New Jersey and people are getting sick. Some citizens blame the local chemical plant. A select few believe something far more terrifying is responsible, a dreadful force that causes nightmarish visions and aberrant illnesses. Bad things are blooming in Hooperstown, and the stench of death is growing stronger...

Standing on the edge of summer break after the longest last day of eighth grade ever, Doug Simms and his two best friends join a group of older kids for an all-night scavenger hunt. It’s supposed to be a celebration, an evening of fun and freedom. But what happens that night will change their summer in the darkest ways imaginable. And not just their summer...but their entire lives. 

MALIGNANT SUMMER is a coming-of-age epic where innocence is lost and the path through adolescence is painful. Where dreamscapes merge with reality. Where love seems possible, and the best season feels like it can last forever.

This is a hefty 600+ page epic Horror novel in the vein of old fashioned Stephen King. I gave Meyer's fast paced, fun, and violent Paradise Club a star in Library Journal earlier this year. He is definitely a voice worth keeping an eye on and adding to your collections.

Both of these books are finished copies so you can do just that, add them for your patrons. Good luck.

Back next week with one of this summer's big releases. Enter now and you are entered going forward.
