New Book Release Eve and a Podcast Appearance to Get You Excited and Ready

Well the day is almost upon us. The Readers' Advisory Guide to Horror, 3rd edition is arriving in the warehouse today and is shipping to preorders tomorrow.

To celebrate, I chatted with my friend Steve Thomas on his excellent librarian interview podcast, Circulating Ideas

My appearance is episode 206 and you can access it by clicking here. Steve also shared the transcript with me and I have made it accessible here. Steve has a page with all of the transcripts available here.

Listen to me, of course, but also remember that Circulating Ideas is an excellent resource on its own. Steve started the podcast in order to learn more about librarianship. And he has been going for 10 years now! From the homepage:

Circulating Ideas facilitates conversations with the innovative people and ideas inspiring libraries to grow and thrive in the 21st century.

Circulating Ideas provides everyone a window into the profession with a conversation style that is comfortable and curious. Please click here for other times I have posted about Circulating Ideas, including links to presentations about podcasting Steve have given in the past.

I hope you listen to me AND subscribe to keep circulating the ideas. 

And order The Readers' Advisory Guide to Horror, 3rd edition. The spooky season kicks off in earnest 9/1. Trust me, this book is all you need to survive Horror's most popular time of year, and then you can use it to sustain the fear all year long [trust me, people want you to even if the idea makes your skin crawl].

Don't have sticker shock when you click through. If you are an ALA member you get a discount AND there is a coupon code at the top of this page. Remember it is a textbook, from an academic publisher, not a novel from a major publisher. But also, I charge $350 to give the 90 minute presentation version of the book, and that is just a scratching of the surface. Looking through it in that light, the book is definitely a great deal.
