Weekly Book Giveaway: The Mirk and Midnight Hour, by Jane Nickerson

This week's Book Giveaway title is The Mirk and Midnight Hour, the second YA novel from Jane Nickerson. Like her first book Strands of Bronze and Gold (which we reviewed here), The Mirk and Midnight Hour is inspired by a not-exactly-Disney-friendly fairytale: the Scottish ballad Tam Lin. Nickerson's two stories are set in the same world—a gothic-novel vision of the Civil War-era South—but are not, apparently, directly connected. Our review will follow later today.

As always, this contest runs Monday through Friday. To enter, just send us an e-mail connected to a valid address. Complete rules and regulations can be found here.

NOTE: We think we've fixed the problems with the email page, but if your message is marked un-deliverable, you can send us an email directly using the address "info [at symbol] wordcandy [dot] net" (minus all those spaces, of course). Sorry for the ongoing confusion!
