#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: Devils Kill Devils with a Bonus Tenebrous Press Book

Today I have a copy of a book I reviewed in the current issue of Booklist and bonus book-- all for 1 lucky winner. More details below, but first here are the rules for the giveaway:

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.

As I did last week, I am once again pairing a bigger title with a small press one and giving it all to a single winner. First up, one of the books I have a review for in the July 2024 issue of Booklist:

Devils Kill Devils

By Johnny Compton

Sept. 2024. 288p. Tor Nightfire, $28.99 (9781250841681).

First published July 2024 (Booklist). 

Compton [The Spite House] returns with a tale that will keep readers glued to the page; a high stakes, violent novel, epic in scope, populated by fascinating characters (both good and evil) and an original cast of demons. Sarita’s guardian angel, Angelo has been there since she was 9 years old, saving her life a total of four times, but when the menacing giant busts into her room on her wedding night and murders her beloved groom, Sarita is devastated and confused. As she seeks to uncover the reasons behind her protector’s betrayal, Sarita is forced to confront the horrific truth hiding in the shadows and her place at the center of it all. Channeling Sookie Stackhouse vibes, Sarita is sympathetic and tough, fighting for herself and her loved ones against an immortal evil that mistakenly thought it could use her as its pawn. For fans of American Gods by Gaiman, and those who enjoy vampire stories that broaden the trope’s established conventions, with viscerally terrifying results such as Fledgling by Butler or Nestlings by Cassidy.

Three Words That Describe This Book: Epic in Scope, Vampires, Violent

You can read a lot more about this book over on the main blog here. 

Thanks to Nightfire for providing the ARC for me to give away.

And for the second book, I have a copy of a writer whose work I have already enjoyed previously, Carson Winter and his novella due to come out from Tenebrous in August, A Spectre is Haunting Greentree:

REAP WHAT YOU SOW

In the wake of a series of panic attacks, isolated and introverted Carina takes a friend up on an offer: go to Greentree, Oregon, escape her abusive ex, and start a new life.

But upon arrival, the town is stranger than Carina could have ever imagined.

For one, they still have a video store. For two, everyone is rich.

For three, what’s up with all these scarecrows?

As Greentree’s secrets begin to unravel, as the autumn sun bends below the corn, as scythes sharpen in the night—a violent revolution stirs.

Thanks to Tenebrous Press for the copy to give away.

And that is this week's giveaway. Enter once and you are entered going forward. Random.org has been liking lower numbers recently, so many of my entrants who had forgotten they were even in the running have been getting some pleasantly surprising emails.

Want to join the fun and get a happy surprise email for a change? It may contain a terrifying book, but for those of us who love Horror, that is definitely our definition of fun.

Good luck.
