Today I have ARCs for 4 of the titles I reviewed in my June 2025 Library Journal Horror Review column. I have paired each book with another title which I got while attending StokerCon last week. 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 Juli from Utah. Now on to this week's giveaway.
Before I get to the books I am giving away, this giveaway is massive for a few reasons. First, I did not have a giveaway last week due to StokerCon and I will not have one next week due to ALA Annual. I am doubling up so I stay on schedule. Second, I still have 4 paper ARCs from the 8 book LJ column, and I would like them to go out this month. And finally, I got some great lesser known titles (ARCs and finished copies) at StokerCon and by pairing them with better known titles, I can give them a bigger spotlight.
Also since I have 8 books to giveaway here, I am going to rely on you click through on each title to read my reviews and learn more.
- A Game in Yellow by Hailey Piper (discomfort, original retelling of a classic, cursed book). This book is paired with an ARC of the already released Metallic Realms by Lincoln Michel.
- The Library at Hellebore by Cassandra Khaw (Dark Academia meets Visceral Body Horror, conversational style, race against time ). This book was also on the July 2025 LibraryReads list. I have paired the Khaw with an ARC of the already released rekt by Alex Gonzalez.
- Fiend by Alma Katsu (Ancient Evil, Multiple Points of View, Thriller-Horror Hybrid). This book is paired with an ARC of the already released Cold Eternity by S.A. Barnes (who I will also be appearing with this Fall as part of my book tour).
- How to Survive a Horror Story by Mallory Arnold (meta, cozish horror, multiple points of view) This book was also on the July 2025 LibraryReads list. I have paired the Arnold with a finished copy of Broken Things by Diane Corso who I met at StokerCon. This one is a good readalike for the Arnold and you can add it with confidence to your collections.
The books will be given away in the order I have them listed here. 4 winners, 2 books each!
I still have more books from StokerCon, including a finished copy of a title that was nominated for the Shirley Jackson Award, plus whatever I am going to pick up at ALA and my backlog of ARCs for which I have already turned in reviews. And of course, I have one of the few HUGE Joe Hill King Sorrow ARCs.
If you want in on any of this, enter now and you are entered going forward.
Good Luck!
