And finally, don't forget past year's program guides are just as awesome as this one. You can use any of them to promote Horror to all ages of readers today, tomorrow, this summer, next winter...all year long. We simply use summer as the hook, but these books and the programming ideas work any time of year. With 4 years of guides no available that is 36 titles, plus the 4 readalikes per title that gives you 144 titles vetted horror titles that you could use to build out a display tomorrow, one that will serve all ages of Horror fans. (And that doesn't even take into consideration other books by our chosen authors and the titles that are part of larger series). Links to past guides:
