#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway 138: Tenebrous Press 2-fer

Today I am featuring 2 books by one of my favorite small presses. 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.

Over the next few weeks I am going to get us ready for October and my plethora of giveaways. I have lost track of how many I will have, but it is way more than 1 per week. But before we get there, I wanted I highlight a few smaller presses. This week, I have two titles by Tenebrous Press.

Before I ell you which titles, please take a moment to read my post entitled, "Meet Tenebrous Press," from 31 Days of Horror last year.

This week I am giving away 2 novellas and they are finished copies which you can add to your collections immediately.


As the world’s climate swings rapidly between oppressively hot and freezing cold, the remnants of civilization huddle in small communities to scrape together what they can to survive.

All except the Zhu family.

Yi has lived in her ancestral house her entire life, sheltered and safe from the scarcity that plagues her community. Her family enjoys a secret life of running water, electricity, and an abundance of food.

But as Yi seeks a way to share their fortune, she learns the terrible secret of the Zhu house.

DEHISCENT is an Eco-Horror tale of a future that has practically arrived, and the humanity that lurks in the most inhuman of places.

Second in this prize pack, The Black Lord by Colin Hinckley. From Goodreads:
There’s something knocking on the window. 
Eddie’s parents may be arguing about the disappearance of his infant brother Danny, but Eddie’s facing a terror all of his own. There’s a strange figure outside that claims it has Danny safe and sound—all Eddie needs to do to get his brother back is open that window.

All of Tenebrous Press' titles are good for library collections. They are well edited, stand up to multiple checkouts, and have great covers for displays. These novellas in particular can be added to your collections because they are finished copies.

An anthology I gave away on the blog previously, Your Body is Not Your Body, was nominated for a Shirley Jackson Award this year. See, it is not just me who thinks their books are good.

Whether you win this week or not, visit their website and order a few tiles for your collections. Maybe start with that anthology since it was nominated for a major award.

Your patrons will thank you.

And get your entries in because there will be many giveaways this October. I have over 80 people currently in the running. It will explode come October, so get in now. You enter once now, and you are entered until you win. Details above.

Good Luck!
