Today I have an early finished copy of a book that is not out until April 3, from a series of novellas by different authors that I am already on the record as loving. Details below but first, here are the rules on how to enter:
- You need to be affiliated with an American 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Click here for the previous giveaway. Our winner was Christina from MA. Now on to this week's giveaway.
Raw Dog Screaming Press is one of my favorite and most trusted small presses in Horror. They have won major awards, appeared on numerous main stream best lists, and most importantly for us in libraries, you can buy their books through your normal ordering procedures.
Back in 2023 they began a great series of standalone novellas in a series called, Selected Papers From the Consortium for the Study go Anomalous Phenomena. From Goodreads:
The Selected Papers from the Consortium for the Study of Anomalous Phenomena (CSAP) is a line of novellas curated by editor/academic R.J. Joseph. She serves both as editor for the line and also imaginary “Crypt-Keeper,” introducing each tale as a found document and part of the fictional journal produced by the CSAP society.
No one cares when Lila Carson’s ten-year-old brother Beau disappears. He can’t speak. He throws tantrums. He’s a useless Carson, one of those kids in a broken-shuttered house that lost its glory when his father died. When the sheriff and his good ol’ boy deputies show up to investigate, they eye up Lila and call her twin brother, Quentin, names. A closeted bisexual girl in the South, she’s terrified.
Lower Congaree recites it like an eleventh commandment: Don’t go in that swamp. But as the long night drags on, it’s clear Beau disappeared behind those ancient trees. The sheriff’s deputies won’t risk going back there.
Lila might not have a choice.
I trust this series and this author and I would encourage all of you to order all 7 books in this novella series. Here is the info from the Raw Dog Screaming Press site about how to order their books for your library. But this week, one lucky winner is going to get a finished copy of this book, 6 weeks before it releases courtesy of Broadbent herself.
Enter today and you are entered going forward.
Good luck!
