Halloween is lurking around the corner, and if you don't know, it is my absolute favorite time of year. (I'm super stoked this year, because I'm making a trip to Salem. As in witches. Be jealous.) The weather gets crisp, the leaves get all shades of red and orange, and I'm able to open my creaky windows and enjoy the cool, autumn, apple-scented air. As soon as September hits, you can find me haulin' out the black and orange goods, littering my porch with mums and pumpkins, drinking Shipyard Pumpkinhead, watching scary movies, and ~ yup, you guessed it ~ trying to find a book that'll give me a good spookin'.
So, if you remember, I said I wanted to start doing a giveaway every month ~ and I'd put it up to a vote. Not gunna happen this month...but I think you'll like it... Since October has always been a very special month to me, I thought I'd spread the joy and make this month's giveaway a little more fun. Why am I starting it so early? I want to get you your book before Halloween, so you can enjoy it even more ;)
During this lovely month of October, I will be giving away a copy of a classic horror novel ~ you pick from the choices offered below ~ AND a fabulously festive Halloween bookmark.
How friggin' awesome is that?
Okay, so you'll get your pick from...
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe
Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
The Best of H.P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre
And I seem to remember mentioning a bookmark somewhere in there... This is a cute little nugget I've ordered through BeckyOaccessories.
So much fun :) So, guys, this time it's gunna be open to U.S. and Canada only...
Buzzkill, I know, but I gotta do what I gotta do...
Enter now!
Happy Reading Everyone :)
