COMPETITION: Win a copy of Pretty Monsters!
It's the
run up to Halloween, and no better time to indulge in a good old-fashioned scary
story (or spooky romance. It's your call!) Here at Trashionista we adore
ghoulish tales, and have been lucky enough to get a review copy of brand new book
Pretty Monsters.
Pretty
Monsters is a collection of nine short stories by Kelly Link that's perfect for
a dark night curled up under the covers.
Pretty Monsters is released on October 15th, and Trashionista and
publishers Canongate have three copies of this beautiful book to give away!
Here's
some info about Pretty Monsters...
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. With more than a pinch of macabre humour,
this is writing to come back from the dead for.
To be in with a chance of winning a copy, all you have to do is leave a comment
below. Names will be entered into a draw and winners will chosen after
15th October. (Don't forget
to leave your email address so that we can contact you!)
Apart from Pretty Monsters, Kelly Link is the author of two
more short story collections: Magic for Beginners and Stranger Things Happen.
You can find out more about Kelly Link and her books by checking out Kelly's website.

I love her previous 2 collections, and was so looking forward to this one, but was laid off a few months ago and can't justify purchasing new books! *crosses fingers for luck*

Kelly Link is a goddess of weirdly wonderful writing. Or at least a minor deity. Sign me up!
