This week I have an ARC of one of he hottest books of the Spooky Season, by an author who just made the Library Reads Hall of Fame today with her third book.

  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.

Click here to see giveaway #97. Our winner was James from Clark County [KY] Public Library. Now on to this week's giveaway.

Rachel Harrison's third novel comes out in October. Her first two made the LibraryReads list, and when I saw her at ALA annual in DC this past June, I told her that I was predicting she would not only make the list again, but since it would be her third book on the list, she would enter the LibraryReads Hall of Fame.

She told me she had no idea there was a Hall of Fame and not to get her hopes up because being in a Library Hall of Fame for anything would be a dream come true. Well, I am happy to say I was right! And if you look at the October 2022 LibraryReads list you will see the proof!

In honor of this achievement, I am giving away my ARC of Such Sharp Teeth today. As if you needed more reasons to enter than this is a Rachel Harrison Werewolf novel, below is my colleague Jeremiah's Star review from Library Journal as well.

Thanks to Berkeley for providing the ARC at ALA Annual

 Harrison’s (Cackle) latest is a rip-roaring, bloody adventure that also explores the wounds trauma can leave on both the body and the psyche. Aurora has come home to help her pregnant sister when the unthinkable happens—Aurora is transformed into a werewolf. But that is just where the story begins. Through explorations of femininity, childhood, family, growth, and facing fears, Harrison crafts a compelling story that is extremely difficult to put down. Beyond the basic horror tenets that a werewolf story embodies, the novel also grasps the deeper consequences of transformation and trauma. The author’s style is gripping and will keep you reading way past your bedtime, although it instills enough gory goodness to make sure that your eventual sleep is troubled. 
VERDICT Any library looking to acquire a gut punch of a horror novel that will appeal to a broad audience would do well to add this to their collection. It will also appeal to fans of Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones and Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado.

#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway 97: Swedish Cults by Anders Fager

This is an excellent release by one of my trusted publishers. 

Swedish Cults
[stories]By Anders Fager

Translated by Ian Lemke and Henning KochSept. 2022. 232p. Valancourt, $29.99 (9781954321564); paper, $16.99 (9781954321571)First published September 1, 2022 (Booklist). 

With the success of their World Horror Anthologies, Valancourt continues their march to get the globe’s best Horror writers into more hands with the first English translation of the top Horror writer in Sweden. This story collection, first published in 2009, is best described as “Swedish Lovecraft.” The world he has created, while very much set in and influenced by his Nordic home, expertly draws off the established Lovecraftian universe, setting an atmosphere with each tale that steadily rises to existential terror as cosmic gods so pervasive and powerful, drawfs, even mock at times, the pitiful humans who hope to survive their wrath. A great example is the second story, “Grandma’s Journey,” an original tale of a journey across Europe, despite a tear in the universe that keeps getting wider. The repetition of the phrase “grandma’s going on a journey,” dozens of times, brilliantly adds another layer of unease. Also of note are the four “Fragments,” brief snapshots of atmospheric horror placed between each of the five longer stories. A must read for fans of 21st Century Lovecraftian Horror as written by those like Kiernan or Snyder.

Further Appeal: “Swedish Lovecraft.” – And that is not simply publisher marketing, Fager is the real deal. The Call of Cthulhu role playing game even uses Fager’s work for the Swedish edition of their popular game. So there's your book talk-- Swedish Lovecraft...'nuff said for a lot of readers.


But it is more that that though. It has an atmospheric tone that rises to the existential dread of the very best cosmic horror. It is also extremely grounded in its place-- Sweden. 


For those not as well versed in Cosmic Horror, here is a short snippet from my book, a piece of a quote from author and Cosmic Horror scholar, Mary SanGiovanni:

"In Cosmic Horror, there is a sense that the antagonistic force, whether evil or just utterly indifferent, is so pervasive and powerful, and of such a size and scope, that its very existence dwarfs the significance of humanity."


Three Words That Describe This Book: Lovecraftian, translation, strong sense of place


Readalikes: My book has an entire Lovecraftian/Cosmic Horror chapter. And I have a bonus list of titles that got cut from the book here. You have plenty of topics, but to the 2 readalikes included above I would also like to include The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft edited by Aaron French. 

Thanks to Valancourt for the ARC for this giveaway. And good luck!

Click here to see giveaway #95. Our winner was Jen from Jupiter [FL] Branch Library. Now on to today.

The July issue of Booklist magazine carried my GLOWING review of Sallow Bend by Alan Baxter. It rated it 4.5 out of 5: 

School is out for summer, the Carnival has just set up, but the town of Sallow Bend awakens to darkness. Two girls from the high school have gone missing. When they return a couple of days later, they are now three, and yet no one but Caleb, the well-meaning, if socially awkward school janitor, thinks this is odd. Everyone claims they have always known the third girl, Hester, but no one can remember any details about her. Told from many points of view, but with a focus on Caleb and Tricia, a mother whose son went missing last year, Sallow Bend is an immersive, page-turner, where details about the characters, the place, and its eerie history, are effortlessly fleshed out, but paired with the unceasingly intensifying dread, quickly escalating from unsettling to terrifying and Baxter, already an award winning Horror author in his native Australia, seems poised to take over America as well. Suggest to readers who enjoyed other original entries into the small town Horror trope like Hex by Olde Heuvelt or Daphne by Malerman.

Further Appeal:  An excellent small town horror, page turner with folk horror elements. The sense of place is strong, and is huge part of what makes this book so immersive and awesome.

Multiple points of view add character development and increases the pacing. History of the town is VERY important. A Carnival in town as well-- for me personally this is a frame I LOVE!!!!

The tone begins very uneasily-- kids are missing but it escalates steadily and intensely to terror.

Missing children is the overall frame and there is harm to children, but it is not gratuitous.

Baxter wins awards and is very popular in his native Australia and this should be his coming out party in America. Buy this one. Your horror readers will love it.

This book was excellent-- 4.5 out of 5. The only things keeping it from 5 stars are-- I thought it took place in Australia because there were some words that are used in their version of English rather than American English, which was fine, but then somewhere in the middle Atlanta was mentioned and that threw me off. I was fine thinking it was Australia. This is editing, bit Baxter's issue and a very  minor detail because this could take place anywhere in any small town.

And this-- I don't want to spoil but there is a character from the Carnival workers who becomes important and I wish there was more time about who he really is and what power he holds. I'dd read a whole book about him. Maybe that is a good thing that I want more.

Three Words That Describe This Book: multiple points of view, small town horror, intensifying terror

Readalikes: This was Hex by Olde Heuvelt meets Daphne by Malerman. If you smooshed them together and added a carnival. Old school Stephen King fans will like it as well.

The focus here is on the adults, not the kids, and how they address the horror and come to terms with their own mistakes and choices. So while on the surface books like Something Wicked This Way Comes by Bradbury or even Children of the Dark by Janz may seem like comp titles, they might not be. For me they are, but those titles give the pov to the teens. This does not. I liked that and found it refreshing.

A must buy for every library. Just the Hex comp alone will draw in readers immediately.


This book is a PERFECT read for this weekend as well. It is set during those wanting days of summer, just as the carnival is making one its final stops of the year, and school is just going back into session.

Now a finished copy of this book could be yours, to add to your library collection immediately. I will be picking 2 winners Friday evening and Cemetery Dance will send the book directly to the winners. 

Good luck.

Today I gave the second of the two stars I gave books in the August 2022 issue of Booklist. More details on that SF/F/H Spotlight issue here and here. Now the details about today's giveaway book.

STAR REVIEW
The Hollow Kind by Andy Davidson
Oct. 2022. 448p. Farrar/MCD, $28 (9780374538569)
First published August 2022 (Booklist).

With his third novel, Davidson plants his roots in Horror’s soil as one its most talented voices. Summer, 1989. Nellie leaves her abusive husband, 11 year-old son Max in tow, and heads to Empire Georgia to claim an inheritance from the grandfather barely knew–  Redfern Hill, 1,333 acres, and its abandoned turpentine mill. With only a few belongings, they move into the property’s long neglected but stately home with plans to start over. But, very quickly it becomes clear that they are not alone. Told mostly through two perfectly balanced timelines, over ten days in 1989 through Nellie and Max and another from 1917 to 1932 focusing on August Redfern, this is a character driven story of a place, the evil that has always lived there, and its ever tightening grip on the family. The steadily increasing dread bursts open at the one-third mark, as terror takes over, past and present merge, and the Redfern family comes together, across generations in an epic battle. With similarities to The Book of Accidents by Wendig, shades of T. Kingfisher, and a dash of The Ruins by Smith, this is a southern gothic epic that masterfully weaves elements of body, folk, and cosmic horror knitting it all together into something wholly new, immersive, terrifying, and utterly breathtaking.

YA Statement: With its 1980’s setting, combined with a storytelling style that is reminiscent of Stephen King from that era and Stranger Things, and a middle school protagonist, there are a plethora of reasons why Teens will love digging into this Southern Family Horror Epic. 

Further Appeal: This Book!!! I already love Davidson-- In the Valley of the Sun is one of my ALL TIME favorite Horror books-- but this is also STUNNING.

I am not sure I can take a walk in the woods again. Seriously. That’s a compliment.

This is THE Horror epic of the year.  Just buy multiple copies and hand it out freely. See my extended readalikes below to see just how wide an appeal this book will have. 

Also one of my favorite lines from the book, near the end [and I am cutting it short because it would give too much away to have the whole quote] “... humans always taste best.”

Three Words That Describe This Book: perfectly paced, strong sense of place, immersive terror.

More readalikes: I had so many readalikes I wanted to give. The three in the review above where what I settled on to give you the best overall snapshot of the appeal of the book.

Stephen King yes. Mexican Gothic because of the family curse and the growing evil in the basement– but I did not put it in the review because I wouldn’t be able to explain why and I think it matters here since Mexican Gothic is sometimes used as a comp title for other reasons.

The Toll by Priest, Jennifer McMahon– The Winter People and The Invited. Definitely Wonderland by Stage. Also, his character development is fantastic– reminds me of Brian Keene who I hold up as a master of character development in Horror. Both good and bad people– we get the full story without sacrificing the pacing.

Thanks to the publisher for the review copy, and now it could be yours! Good luck.

#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway 93: Little Eve by Catriona Ward

This week I have a book that already has already proved itself but is now going to be widely available in America. A High-Demand author. I posted my STAR review on the main blog today as well.

More details below, but first a reminder on how to enter: 

  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.

I have the next book by Catriona Ward to giveaway. Details on the book itself from RA for All:

STAR REVIEW
Little Eve
Catriona Ward
Oct. 2022. 288p. Tor Nightfire, $27.99 (9781250812650); e-book, $14.99 (9781250812667)
First published August 2022 (Booklist).

Ward is back but this time she presents a proven winner, the American release for her 2018 Shirley Jackson Award winning novel. Readers are whisked away to 1921, to an island, just off the coast of Scotland, with high cliffs and a reclusive family, as Dinah recounts the winter morning when the local butcher found her entire family laid out in ritualistic style, all but her dead. Immediately, Dinah’s sister, Evelyn is identified as the killer, but she has gone missing. Atmospheric from those opening lines, this disquieting story is unveiled through intertwined threads with Dinah narrating the story’s present and Evelyn from 1917. For the first 70 pages, the reader will squirm as the discomfort, characters, and plot slowly emerge, but as the details begin to come into horrifying focus and the time frames begin to converge, it is impossible to look away. And when that inevitable twist comes it is an disturbing gut punch, not because of the shock, but from the deeply unsettling ramifications that ripple out from its center. While its ties to Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle are strong, this psychological horror gem will also appeal to fans of creepy, character driven cult stories like Mr Splitfoot by Hunt and other new, original takes on the traditional Gothic such as Mexican Gothic by Moreanu-Garcia.

Further appeal. Here is a note I took immediately after finishing this book: "An excellent, twisty, Gothic but Ward excels at how she unfolds the "truth for the reader." The "past" of the story [1917 and forward] and the "present" [1921 and forward]  slowly converge with two perspectives: Dinah and Evelyn. And of course there is a twist, this is a Ward novel. But it is not the twist that is the gut punch, it is the emotional, gut wrenching ramification that ripple out from the center of the twist that makes this a STAR review." 


This book was deeply unsettling. It took a little to get into it, to get the background details and the voices of the two narratives and to get settled into the place, but once I did, I could not stop reading.


Again, the "twist" is there, but that alone wasn't why it is good. What the twist as meant over the decades tat followed the main action, that is where the story has its emotional center. 


Three Words That Describe This Book: dual time frames, Gothic, atmospheric.


Readalikes: The three above in the review plus, The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks, Gather the Daughters by Jennie Melamed, The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling, A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay and really any Shirley Jackson nominee or winner. It is one of my favorite awards to use as a readalike resource. 


My ARC is going to one lucky winner, courtesy of Tor Nightfire.


Remember, you enter once and you are entered going forward. I have big tittles coming every week!

#Horror For Libraries Giveaway 92: The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias x2

Today, I have 2 copies of one of the hottest books of the year. I wrote about it on the main blog here Tuesday. I have 1 signed paperback ARC and 1 finished hardcover.

More details below, but first a reminder on how to enter: 

  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.

  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.

Click here to see giveaway 91Our winner was Liz from Lee County [FL] Library System. 

On to today. I gave over an entire day of the blog to the release day of The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias on 8/2. You can click through for the entire post, but here is the start of what I had to say:

I review books well in advance of their release, but sometimes there are books that I need to tell you about before they come out and then on release day. The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias, out today, is one of those books.

I cannot say enough superlative things about this book, but I am also aware that it is hard to read. There is serious violence here, but it is not gratuitous. In fact, everything brutal that happens has a reason in the story. And then there is the fact that it is a story about those who live on the margins-- literally. Life is hard and violent; thus, to portray these characters with any truth, it cannot be sunshine and roses.

I have much more to share in detail below from my detailed Goodreads review. It contains the draft of my LJ Star review, a link to that review, a link to an interview with Iglesias which I did for the June issue of the magazine, and more.

Before I repost all of that information, I need to say this. There are books that I read, often before anyone else, that I know are something special, and I am among the first to officially make note of it in print. This happened when I read The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones and The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. Both went on to win many awards, and not just Horror ones.

This year I have felt that about 2 books and only 2 books. The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay and this one, The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias. 

I am not saying this to brag about myself, rather to make you understand that I know what I am talking about when I tell you a book is going to be special.

I am sure many of you already pre-ordered The Devil Takes You Home, but I want you to promote it to the right readers. I am here to help with today's post, so you can know all about this hot book without having to read it yourself.

Click here to read the full post from Tuesday including a detailed review of this amazing book.

I think that post says all you need to know. And now you can enter now to win one of two copies. The first number I draw, that person gets the signed ARC and the second, the finished hardcover.

Thanks to Gabino for the signed ARC and Mulholland for the Hard Cover.

Enter now and you are entered going forward. And coming up....2 huge titles from the Booklist SF/F/H spotlight [August issue] that I gave STARS.

Good luck.
