Happy #Quirksgiving: Join Us For A Month Of Giveaways!

Happy November, Quirk fans!

In addition to our fabulous Quirk Perks discounts this month (which include Geek Wisdom and The Cookiepedia), we're launching a month of fabulous giveaways!

That's right. An entire month. 

We debated in the Quirk HQ for hours, trying to come up with the dates and the name for this fantastic giveaway. Would we do it in October? Would it be a single day (Quirkoween) or a month long thing (Quirktober)? What about December? Why not 12 Days of Quirkmas? Maybe something on New Year's Eve? Happy Quirk Year? 

And then it happened. Brett Cohen stood up and shouted "QUIRKSGIVING!" The reaction went something like this:

Okay, maybe not exactly like that (there were only five of us in the conference room), but still. #Quirksgiving is a thing, and we want to give you the chance to win some fun prizes through the month of November. Just follow the directions for each day, and be sure to use the hashtag #Quirksgiving when doing so. We'll pick winners every morning. 

Good luck, and have fun!

Suburban Legends: The Goatman Cometh [Excerpt]

An eBook exclusive re-release of Sam Stall's Suburban Legends came out October 1st! So through the month of October, we're sharing excerpts from the collection of spooky stories. Because Halloween! 

They told you the suburbs were a great place to live. They said nothing bad could ever happen here. But they were wrong.

This collection of terrifying true stories exposes the dark side of life in the ’burbs—from corpses buried in backyards and ghosts lurking in fast food restaurants to UFOs, vanishing persons, bizarre apparitions, and worse. 

So lock your doors, dim the lights, and prepare to stay up all night with this creepy collection of true tales. We promise you’ll never look at white picket fences the same way again!

Read an excerpt below (The Goatman Cometh), and pick it up for $3.99 via AmazonBarnes & Noble, or the iBookstore this month!
