We at BAE know how much you guys like books, and thanks to Canongate in the UK, we have a pretty cool Halloween contest for you.
Pretty Monsters is a great collection of horror short stories, and is a good crossover book that teenagers and adults will love. I really enjoyed it!
UK Competition:
Canongate Books is pleased to offer BellaandEdward.com prize copies of Pretty Monsters.
Weird, wicked, spooky and delicious, Pretty Monsters is a book of tall tales to keep you up all night. Blending fairytale, fantasy, horror, myth and mischief in a delicious cocktail, Kelly Link creates a world like no other, where ghosts of girlfriends past rub up against Scrabble-loving grandmothers with terrifying magic handbags, wizards sit alongside morbid babysitters, and we encounter a people-eating monster who claims to have a sense of humour. Combining the imaginative brilliance of Borges with the madcap escapades of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more than a pinch of macabre humour, this is writing to come back from the dead for.
To enter the competition, read The Wrong Grave (click here) and tell us:
