Bob @ Beauty in Ruins

PLEASE NOTE: I'm rarely active here anymore, but please feel free to follow me on Goodreads, where I post regularly.

 

These are the chronicles of a book addict, a photo junkie, and an aspiring author, rewriting the very fabric of reality one page (and one snapshot) at a time. From the strange to the unusual; the abandoned to the abnormal; the haunted to the historic; the supernatural to the surreal; the forests of dark fantasy, the cemeteries of gothic horror, and the post-apocalyptic ruins of science fiction are the landscapes of my imagination.

#SharkWeek Giveaway - Bait: A Novel by J. Kent Messum

Bait: A Novel - J. Kent Messum
It's not often that I can look at a book blurb and wholeheartedly agree, but Bait: A Novel is, in fact, a case of "Jaws meets Lord of the Flies meets Drugstore Cowboy!" About the only thing I might add to that is, "in the style of early Richard Bachman."

 

To help celebrate this year's Shark Week, J. Kent Messumis offering up a paperback copy (the black and white Canada/US version) to one lucky reader across Canada, the US, and the UK. The giveaway is open all week (ending on Saturday).



If you're interested, just pop me an email (bob [dot] beautyinruins [at] gmail [dot] com) with the subject SHARK BAIT. Please be sure to include your full name and mailing address.

Multiple entries are considered cheating (and will get your deleted), but I'm more than happy to offer up a bonus entry to regular followers (Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Just let me know how you follow, and what your username is.

Bait: A Novel is the 2014 Arthur Ellis Awards Winner for Best First Novel
