This is Not a Drill: WHY I LOVE HORROR Is Available for Download on Edelweiss

 

Book Cover-- a mottled gray and white background with a tall and long black figure with claw like hands. It is black and ominous with a tiny head, Not too scary, just ominous. on its left, it is holding the hand of a small black human figure who is leading it confidently. Overlaid is the title- WHY I LOVE HORROR (1 word per row). The letters are in a dark gray but the letters that overlap with the monster are in red. In the top right corner it says "Edited by Becky Siegel Spratford" And down in the bottom right in the space just above where the monster and figure are holding hands it says "Essays on Horror Literature."

A little mid-week self promotion today.

The DRC of my upcoming book is available here for you to download. It's not on Net Galley yet, but I am sure it will be soon.

Stop what you are doing and download it AFTER you pre-order for your library.

If you already use Edelweiss to vote for LibraryReads you should be good to go. Speaking of, did you know you can vote now for ANY month of LibraryReads? You can. It is the same process on any book no matter when it is supposed to come out. I have already voted for books coming out in the late summer and Fall (including my book). I mean if writers a varied as Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Daniel Kraus, Mallory O'Mearea, and Eric LaRocca think it is great, I am sure your patrons will too. Click here for those blurbs.
