The first of two spooky October giveaways is here! With special thanks to revgeorge, this first giveaway Where the Deep Ones Are, a parody of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, written by a Lovecraft fan. Here’s the description:

Renowned Mythos aficionado Ken Hite retells H P Lovecraft’s “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” through this parody of classic children’s literature.

After greedily yelling for more fish, young Bobby is sent to his bedroom without any supper at all. But Bobby escapes when the Manuxet River runs right through his room carrying an old boat that takes him to Innsmouth. When the Deep Ones come for him he flees, but will he eventually join their wild rumpus under the ocean, and be crowned the most Deep One of all?

32 pages, illustrated, full color, side-sewn hardcover

The first giveaway is a simple drawing, and to enter your name, comment on this thread by telling us your favorite scary story (book, short story, or movie), and why that’s your favorite. Be sure to enter for the drawing by Midnight (EDT) on Thursday, October 23.

Great giveaway this month – Sorcerer’s Stone 10th Anniversary Edition! We had so much fun with the caption contest last time, let’s do it again. Once all entries are in, we’ll have everyone vote on the winner (and this time, we’ll do an in-post poll to vote.) The winner will have their very own copy of the 10th Anniversary Edition of Sorcerer’s Stone pre-ordered for them by The Hog’s Head from Amazon.com (and you’ll receive it just in time to participate in Sorcerer’s Stone Week!) Deadline for entry is 11pm (EST) on Tuesday, September 16. The vote will be posted by midnight of the 16th and will close at midnight on September 17. To enter, simply put your caption for this photo in the comments for this post. Good luck!.
