Giveaway: The Children of Old Leech edited by Ross E. Lockhart and Justin Steele

It's been a busy end to the summer, and I've allowed myself to accumulate quite a pile of books for giveaway.  I will start with a hardcover copy of The Children of Old Leech, signed by myself and co-editor Ross E. Lockhart. Elsewhere on the blog you can find excerpts from every story, and my introduction and Ross's afterword in full. Rules below.

Entering is easy. Send an e-mail to contest(at)arkhamdigest.com with the subject line OLD LEECH. In the body of the e-mail include your snail mail address and why you want to read the book. Also let me know if you prefer me to simply sign it, or to personalize/inscribe it for you. I will do a random drawing Thursday, August 28th. This contest is only open to residents of the US and Canada, due to shipping costs. 

Giveaway Winner: King in Yellow Ultimate Reader Pack

A big congratulations to Thomas Broadbent for winning the big prize, with copies of both A Season in Carcosa and Grimscribe's Puppets going to runner-up winners Shaun Gavin and David Stockton.

Winners were drawn by using random.org, a true random number generator. Stay tuned for more giveaways.

Giveaway: Ultimate King in Yellow Reader Pack

Thanks to some generous publishers/editors/authors, I have put together a King in Yellow Ultimate Reader Pack for giveaway!! There will be one Grand Prize winner, and two runner-ups. Since Robert Chamber's tales are available to read free online (with two of the four included in The Hastur Cycle) what is included in the pack is the best King in Yellow fiction throughout the past several decades. Everything included was covered in the King in Yellow interview I conducted with Joseph S. Pulver Sr.

One Grand Prize: The Ultimate King in Yellow Reader Pack: The Hastur Cycle edited by Robert M. Price, A Season in Carcosa edited by Joseph S. Pulver, Rehearsals for Oblivion edited by Peter A. Worthy, The Yellow House by DJ Tyrer (Print run of 25 copies, with a few extra author copies, this is VERY RARE), Blood Will Have it's Season by Joseph S. Pulver, Sin & Ashes by Joseph S. Pulver. As a bonus we have also added a copy of The Grimscribe's Puppets by Joseph S. Pulver (This is a Stoker-nominated Ligotti tribute anthology, but is a sister volume to A Season in Carcosa. Since many are seeking King in Yellow reading material due to True Detective they will find a lot to enjoy here, as True Detective also pulls some inspiration from Ligotti's philosophy.)

Two Runner-Up Prizes: A Season in Carcosa and The Grimscribe's Puppets Double Pack: Two more names will be chosen and each will receive a copy of both of these anthologies.

Entering is easy. Send an e-mail to contest(at)arkhamdigest.com with the subject line HAIL TO THE YELLOW KING. In the body of the e-mail include your snail mail address and why you want to read about The King in Yellow. I will do a random drawing in a week or two, so don't delay in entering. 

Special thanks to:
Nicholas Nacarino & Chaosium for The Hastur Cycle
Tom Lynch & Miskatonic River Press for the copies of A Season in Carcosa and The Grimscribe's Puppets
Derrick Hussey & Hippocampus Press for Blood Will Have It's Season and Sin & Ashes
DJ Tyrer for The Yellow House
William Jones for Rehearsals of Oblivion

Giveaway: Shadows Edge edited by Simon Strantzas

Earlier this month I reviewed Shadows Edge, an anthology exploring the concept of "thin places", edited by author Simon Strantzas. I had tons of good things to say about the anthology.

Giveaway Winner! Luminescent Mi-Go Artifact

And the winner of the first giveaway is Tyler Reedy! Hope you enjoy the sculpt!

Giveaway: Luminescent Mi-Go Artifact by Jason McKittrick

A giveaway is something I have wanted to do for awhile here at The Arkham Digest, and thanks to sculptor Jason McKittrick I have this wicked piece to give away to one lucky reader.

Jason McKittrick runs Cryptocurium Custom Creations, and specializes in limited edition Lovecraftian sculpts. He has several available on his website, and most of them go fast. Recently The Collection From Yuggoth was made available in a mere 72 hour sale. Availability has ended, but thanks to Mr. McKittrick I have one of these out-of-print pieces available.

The Luminescent Mi-Go Artifact should be familiar to readers of Lovecraft. It's a great piece to spruce up a library or office. The description on the site is as follows:

“An odd relief sculpture carved from a luminescent stone found on the Mi-Go home planet. Depicts an idealized Mi-Go among as of yet indecipherable alien hieroglyphs. Artifacts emits a green glow when in darkness.”

Hand cast in solid phosphorescent resin and individually signed and numbered by artist Jason McKittrick

GLOWS IN THE DARK

Measures 4.25″ x 5.75″
