Tell Us Your Catastrophic Tale of Bedbugs, Win Signed Copies of Bedbugs
Friends! Colleagues! Citizens of the Internet!
I recently got a box in the mail with the first copies of my new novel, Bedbugs, a supernatural thriller about a woman slowly driven to the brink of madness by a bedbug infestation in her beautiful Brooklyn apartment.
The book doesn’t come out until September 6th, but I’m itching with excitement, so I’d like to give a few copies away.
So here’s the contest:
It seems like everyone you talk to these days has some horrible tale of bedbugs that refused to die; of landlords that refused to act; of love affairs that ended in a storm of scratching; of lovely sofa beds that had to dragged out to the curb or burned.
Send YOUR catastrophic tale of bedbug infestation to [email protected]. I’ll pick the three best (by which I mean the worst, the most horrifying, shocking, devastating tales of bedbugs) and award the winners with signed copies of Bedbugs. We’ll accept entries until September 1!
Please spread the word, and look for Bedbugs at your favorite bookstore on September 6th!
