Publisher Jason Sizemore writes “I’m doing a big promotion to generate some buzz about [Apex Book Company‘s] upcoming horror anthology Harlan County Horror. All the stories are based/inspired by Harlan, Kentucky, a place unique in its culture and geography. We’re giving away a bunch of authentic Harlan, Kentucky, stuff in a contest.”
Some of those give-away goodies are:
* a Harlan County Horrors poster signed by the editor (Mari Adkins), the cover artist (Billy Tackett), and the mayor of Harlan (Danny Howard)
* an authentic Harlan County High School Black Bears T-shirt

* the Criterion Collection copy of Barbara Kopple’s famous documentary, Harlan County, U.S.A.
To enter the contest (deadline is 25 August 2009 at 10PM EDT), Sizemore is hoping you’ll help spread the word about the book, by linking to the book’s web page, and then letting him know about it. For all the contest details, see this page.
