#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway: Women in Horror Month Week 1

Today on the giveaway I am celebrating Women's History Month with book giveaways each Thursday this month written by women in Horror. I am focusing on books I did not get a chance to review officially, but all titles I think belong in every public library. Today I have 2 finished copies of two books that came out last month for 1 winner. Details below but first, here are the rules on how to enter:

1. 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.
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.

Last week's winner was Nicole from WA. Now on to this week's giveaway. 

This week I have 2 finished copies of books that came out in February, titles that I am very excited about but did not have time to review myself.

First up a hard cover of Dollface by Lindy Ryan:

“A whimsical, bloody, unsettling suburban slasher with an unexpected twist." – New York Times bestselling author Delilah S. Dawson

Barbie meets Scream with a 90s nostalgia twist in this horror romp from Bless Your Heart author Lindy Ryan.

Horror author Jill has just moved to suburban New Jersey, hoping to fit in with the new PTA moms and maybe not weird everyone out with her Final Girl coffee mug. You know. Make some real friends. But then a plastic face-masked serial killer begins slashing their way through town, one overly made-up mom at a time. The police are incredulous. The moms are indignant. And Jill is slowly wrapped into a killer’s murderous spree, until she might just be the last woman standing. A delightfully murderous novel that is equal parts scathing and salacious, Dollface will win you over with its gossip and gore, one body at a time. 

Add this book to your collections right now. You probably have Ryan's books in the Bless Your Heart series. This is not part of that series but will appeal to fans of those books. Ryan's books are perfect for fans of Rachel Harrison-- serious horror with well developed and authentic female characters. 

Thank you to Minotaur Books for the copy that I am giving away today. This is a finished copy and you can add it to your collections ASAP. 

This week's winner will also receive a finished copy of Temple Fall by R.L. Boyle:

A macabre and chilling supernatural gothic horror about a group of teenagers cursed to die on their 18th birthday from the Stoker Award shortlisted author of The Book of the Baku. Perfect for fans of Clay McLeod Chapman, The September House by Carissa Orlando and The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes.

Flynn heads with her boyfriend, Jackson, and a group of their friends to spend the night in Temple Fall, a mysterious house up on the moors with a strange history. Breaking in for a night of drinking and teenage debauchery they instead find themselves trapped in a strange nightmare after a joke seance goes wrong. Suddenly forced into strange acts and behaviours outside their character, the tight-knit group starts to fall apart - and then Jackson falls to his death.

In the aftermath Flynn must confront the traumas of her childhood, her upbringing in captivity with her mother who suffered from crippling paranoia and OCD. As a foster child she has been forced to make her own place in the world, to forge a new family out of the few scraps of hope and compassion she has been offered in her life. And everywhere she looks she sees the ghostly figure of a Victorian woman, that no one else can see.

The woman that pushed Jackson.

Reeling from the tragedy the group find themselves split apart, each grieving and trying to survive on their own. But when they start to die, one-by-one, on the very second of their 18th birthday, Flynn must keep them all together to keep her found family alive. And she must dig into the lost secrets of her family past, to stop the curse being passed down to the next generation again.

Add this one to your ordering carts as well. Those readalike authors in the copy above are spot on. Boyle's first novel was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for YA.

Thank you to Titan Books for the copy that I am giving away today. This is a finished copy and you can add it to your collections ASAP. 

Two books by Women in Horror for one winner. And this is only the beginning of the month. I have at least 5 more books to giveaway.

You are going to want to enter now because you will be entered going forward. 

Good Luck!
