But there is a problem.
Vampires are now sparkly. Therefore not scary.
Werewolves are now sexy. Therefore not scary.
Zombies are now prom dates. Therefore not scary.
And with half of the YA literary sphere dating creatures of the night, well, we were running out of things to really scare us. But then we realized the two things that will always, always scare the crap out of us!
STALKERS!!!!
and...
SERIAL KILLERS!!!!
That's right, nothing better than good old fashioned stalkers trying to kill you and so...we are giving away one arc of Kimberly Derting's upcoming debut THE BODY FINDER. And...one arc of Laurie Faria Stolarz's DEADLY LITTLE LIES!

Ooh I want to be entered. And it's so cool. Your contest ends on my birthday! I am a follower and spiders scare me to death. When I was 2 I was bitten by a brown recluse and even though I don't remember it scares me. I still have a mark on my ear where I was bitten.

ReplyDeleteI, uh, don't have many fears. Not things like spiders or darkness or even something like vampires or zombies. Instead, I think my biggest fear is personal failure. I'm very much Hermione.
Please enter me! I love books on serial killers! But what scares me to death - SPIDERS! Hate them! Can't hate them more! all those legs! Yuck!
ReplyDeleteThanks

I love the cover for the Body Finder book! So lovely...! Um, I have entophobia. I think. That's the one where you jump up and down screaming when you see anything with more than four legs, right? :)And I'm also scared of heights. And a world without trees, that's why I don't like my hometown. Its just a mound of sand. One lone pine on top of the dune. Eck.

I'm afraid of serial killers and stalkers. Seriously. It's the name of this contest, but they really are scary. Really. I am traumatized by a previous stalker experience...*shivers* It wasn't that bad, but it was really creepy...

I love this contest! These are both books I really, really want to read =D
ReplyDeleteSomething that completely freaks my crap out is snakes. If you ever want to hear me scream bloody murder in a very high pitched voice, throw a snake towards me. I will also quite possibly pee my pants too.

I am afraid of bugs. Not all bugs, but most. The top scariest bugs (according to me):
ReplyDeleteMoths
Big Spiders
Ladybugs
Moths are just gross... there really isn't a redeeming quality I can think of. Big spiders, 'nuff said! Ladybugs. They never die. They are the energizer bunnies of bugs. Or maybe there is just always one to replace the dead ones... I don't know. Ick.

ReplyDeleteI now follow your blog! :)
Clowns. Clowns scare me really bad.
And the automation in Gail Carriger's Soulless . Now that was one scare thing!
Awesome contest!
ReplyDeleteI am now a follower. :D
And I'm terrified of fire. I have no reason to be but I just am. Also, bugs with a ton of legs freak me out haha.

Terrified of losing loved ones. OTherwise, nothing really freaks me out. Um.. serial killers?
ReplyDeletebittahsweetharmony@yahoo.com
I am afraid of being eaten alive. Meterphoically or literally. Thus meaning I'm afraid of cannabils, cheerleaders and some wild animals.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know I'm lame.
Oh and the dark, spiders, serial killers and my friend, Alice. She's like a homocidal Alice and Wonderland who hates to be touched or be stood near to. I make the strangest friends!

ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely terrified of losing the people that i love! I hate watching programmes about youn people dying and leaving everyone else behind, because it makes me think what would I do if that happened!
I don't know what scares me most though, leaving everyone else behind, or being left behind. Probably the latter, because I'm a coward!
Thanks for a great contest!

ReplyDeleteToo freakin' true! I enjoy romance as much as the next girl, but sometimes I want the things that go bump in the night to scare me, not just make me giggle or make the main character swoon.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that scares me the most?
That would have to be being buried alive with spiders. Creepy and gross right? I have nightmares like that sometimes. *shivers* =)

everythingtodowithbooks@gmail.com
Oh this one looks really good! I don't really have anything that really really scares me, to tell you the truth. I've never been in a situation where I've held onto my fear for a long time. Something I don't like, although doesn't necessarily scare me...are sharks (not a big deal though cause I hardly go in the ocean!). I'm not afraid of spiders..I just kill them, lol. I'm not afraid of snakes or lizards of any kind..in fact, I love them! I'm not afraid of bugs..oh they just get squished, lol. I'm also not really afraid of heights, flying, or boats..although the last 2 do make me motion sick, lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat question, really had me thinking..but still can't find anything that really scares me bone deep.

ReplyDeleteWhat scares me the most is this generation of kids obsessed with Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. That and snakes.
crazycoolbeps@yahoo.com
What scares me most? Okay, definitely spiders and cockroaches! Ugh. Just thinking about them makes me paranoid and then I keep thinking they're nearby *twitch* I freak out whenever I see them - yuck! And also drowning, I can't swim.. I miserably failed swimming lessons when I was younger and anytime my head is underwater, alarm bells go off. Terrified of drowning!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win one of those books, awesome contest!
