#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway 137: Schrader's Chord by Scott Leeds

Today I am featuring a title that comes out next week. Details below, but first, here is how you 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. 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.

Today I have the next title coming out from Nightfire, Schrader's Chord by Scott Leeds [9/5/23]. From Goodreads: 
Heart-Shaped Box meets The Haunting of Hill House in Schrader's Chord, Scott Leeds's chilling debut about cursed vinyl records that open a gateway to the land of the dead. 

I told you they were real.

After his estranged father’s mysterious death, Charlie Remick returns to Seattle to help with the funeral. There, he discovers his father left him two parting the keys to the family record store and a strange black case containing four antique records that, according to legend, can open a gate to the land of the dead.

When Charlie, his sister, and their two friends play the records, they unwittingly open a floodgate of unspeakable horror. As the darkness descends, they are stalked by a relentless, malevolent force and see the dead everywhere they turn.

With time running out, the only person who can help them is Charlie’s resurrected father, who knows firsthand the awesome power the records have unleashed. But can they close the gate and silence Schrader’s Chord before it’s too late?

I received this book courtesy of LibraryReads Executive Director Rebecca Vnuk. This will make a great prize for Spooky Season, which according to my calendar begins tomorrow, September 1.

You should already have it on order because it is published by Nightfire and, in my expert opinion, every title they release should an automatic buy for all public library collections. 

Enter once and you are entered going forward. I have a few prize packs of multiple small press books coming soon and then there will be MANY giveaways in October. Way more than 1 per week. If you don't want to miss out, you should use the above details to get yourself entered ASAP. And a reminder to previous winners, if it has been more than 1 month since you won, you  may enter again.

Good luck!
