Congratulations on joining us for Teen Read Week. This year the theme is “Seek the Unknown”, so what better place is there to be than smack dab in the middle of the horror genre? From cosmic horror to creatures of the night, the horror genre is filled with unknowns.

Today, we’re having a giveaway! David Lubar, best known for his “Weenies” books for children, has crossed over to the dark side of YA     fiction after many years of struggle, as he documented here (link). I wrote about this essay a while back (link)  and the good folks from Tor Teen contacted me and asked me if I would like for them to provide a copy of his new book for review or set up a giveaway. The answer, of course, was “YES!”  They’ve probably been tapping their toes waiting for the review, but that will go up later today, and in the meantime, WE HAVE A GIVEAWAY!

The book is called Extremities: Stories of Death, Murder, and Revenge and it has really amazing cover art and excellent, creepy, interior artwork. And it also has thirteen chilling tales inside the covers. For a teen who’s just growing into the genre and maybe ready to move a little past the Scary Stories books, this is a perfect choice. So let’s give teens the gift of reading horror! All Hallows’ Read is just around the corner.

All this can be yours if you comment and tell me your favorite scary book.  People don’t seem to comment here often, and if they did, maybe I’d hold more giveaways. It’s really not that hard, folks. You’re already sitting at the keyboard (or touch screen, whatever) so just do it. Let me give this book away!

Happy Teen Read Week!
