Once upon a time I was a little kid and I was terrified of things that go bump in the night, but now that I'm all grown up I love all things scary. I love scary movies, scary TV shows, and perhaps most of all scary books, and while adult horror is all well and good my favorite is YA horror. In the past few years YA horror novels have taken off, which means there are more and more of them appearing on the market. This October (because what better month to celebrate creepy books) I have amassed interviews with over 25 middle grade and YA authors that have books that either came out this year or will come out next year. Starting tomorrow and every weekday in October there will be an interview up on the blog (sometimes with a giveaway, sometimes without) where the author(s) of a book will answer 15 questions about their newest/upcoming YA horror/thriller novel and about Halloween in general. Below is the schedule so you know what book/author(s) are going to be featured on what day and below that is a giveaway that will run throughout the entire month of October and into the first few days of November where you will have a chance to win one of the books featured during the event [please make sure to read the rules before you enter!].
I hope you have as much fun reading all of these interviews as I had putting them together, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

a Rafflecopter giveaway
RULES
This giveaway is open to anywhere the book depository ships to (there's a list here). PLEASE make sure that you leave a correct email address seeing as I'll be emailing the winner for the book they want and their address. The winner will have a week to respond (seeing as the giveaway ends on a Saturday and I understand people have jobs and school and so get busy), if they don't respond in said amount of time the prize will go to someone else. Please note that some of these books aren't out yet so if you pick one of those it will be a pre-order and won't be delivered until the day of (or after) the release date, which I will be sure to include in the email to make sure there is no confusion. I also want to let everyone know that you are free to pick any book in the series should the book be a part of one.
Awesome idea for a post / giveaway! I love horror ^^ I unfortunately haven't read any of those on your list yet, but I really must get Fiendish! I've read the earlier books in Barry Lyga and Megan Shepherd's serieses though and they were fantastic. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
