Today I have two books for 1 winner. In fact, I will be offering two books for one winner for the foreseeable future. This week I am featuring a huge title which I gave a starred review in Booklist last month, and another title I am super excited about but did not have time to review. 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.
The last winner was from Lisa from PA. Now on to this week's giveaway.
I am just going to start with the first book because you all want to read it and there are NOT a lot of paper ARCs circulating.
Stephen Graham Jones
Oct. 2026. 416p. Saga, $32 (9781668225127).
First published July 2026 (Booklist).
When digging into the darkest corners of history, no one is spared from the monsters unearthed. Set five years after the action of The Only Good Indians, Jones’ companion novel begins with one of its only survivors, Nate Yellow Tail, severely injured after robbing the home of a wealthy “Summer Indian.” While in the hospital, Nurse Seine recruits Nate to join a rag-tag group of Indians, herself, a mute young man dressed like a priest, and the RV owner, actively grieving the death of her husband and sons, on a quest from their Montana reservation to Pennsylvania’s infamous Carlisle Indian School to repatriate the bones of a murdered Blackfeet boy. However, gathering the bones is only half the story, as something evil is determined to follow them home, unless Nate can make his own last stand. A hilarious road trip novel, a fresh, non-religious take on the possession trope, a visceral and vulnerable character study, laying bare a 360 degree view of the horrors of being Native in America. More than the sum of its perfectly constructed parts, this is a horror novel where every detail works together, deepening the emotional impact for all. For fans of Iglesias’ The Devil Takes You Home and the possession trope as reimagined by Cordova in Monstrilio.
Three Words That Describe This Book: immersive, non-Christian possession, visceral/venerable/hilarious

Since I have your attention I wanted to alert you to another book coming out this October, The Porcelain Sisters by Daryl Gregory. From the publisher's website:

In his newest adventure, World Fantasy and Shirley Jackson Award-winner Daryl Gregory (We Are All Completely Fine) delivers a dizzying, darkly funny, and surprisingly poignant romp through the horrors of sisterhood.“The Porcelain Sisters will grip you from the first page and stay with you long after the brilliant finale.” —Stephanie Feldman, author of SaturnaliaRuth Winslow is trying to save up enough money to finish college while looking after her sister, Isabel—who happens to be a haunted doll. When an accident severely damages Isabel’s porcelain body, the sisters have to find the only woman who can fix her, the fearsome witch known as La Fabricante: the Dollmaker.The sisters head to Marseille, where they take on Le Clan: Chiffon, a red-headed, unkillable assassin; a collection of angry, haunted dolls; plus a pair of demons—one a cigarette-smoking crow, the other a black cat—and their human familiars. Along the way, the sisters learn that they’ve been lied to their entire lives. Their mother wasn’t just a homemaker who died in a car accident, she was a legendary enforcer in the Le Clan des Sorcières.While Ruth has to come out of her shell and deal with her own latent powers, Isabel has to grow up in a body that can’t grow.
