YA Book Spotlight and Giveaway: American Ghoul by Walt Morton


Today, I am spotlighting and giving away Walt Mortan's YA book American Ghoul...

A young punk rocker comes of age by accepting who he is
on the way to becoming the ghoul he wants to be.

In the Summer of 1977 Howard Pickman loses both of his parents in a fire. In a moment he finds himself leaving the deep south, bound for New Jersey. Within a few days Howard moves in with his grandmother and learns that they share the same dark family secret. 

Living as a family of ghouls in a small town in New Jersey is difficult, but keeping up appearances turns out to be harder when Howard finds himself starting his senior year at a new school. 


“Forget vampires, zombies, and werewolves. Ghouls are the new face of monster horror. And in AMERICAN GHOUL, Walt Morton has written the Urtext of ghoul fiction. Not since Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN has an author penned such an original tale of macabre terror. The creep factor in Morton's debut novel is off the charts, the humor is dark, and the characters are disturbingly real. For every geek, nerd, or  outsider  who's  been  bullied  in high school, this book is for you. For  everyone  else,  you'll  want  to  be cremated after you die." 


- Eric Coyote, author of THE LONG DRUNK 

American Ghoul is currently available in Kindle format on Amazon. The paperback edition will be available to order from January 15th, 2013!

After much thought and only recently being introduced to blog awards and blogger tagging, I'm going to have to declare this an award/tag free blog. I'm honored, humbled, and so very grateful for simply being considered for an award, but I simply do not have the time to return the favor. If I could, I'd award y'all with dozens of yummy cupcakes ;) Thanks for understanding.
