Today (March 5th) is Laird Barron’s birthday! Which makes it the perfect day to announce the following:
As many of you know, the infamous awesome Jessica M. is Laird Barron‘s girlfriend. She is also a Lovecraft eZine Patreon. I recently announced to my Patreons that everyone at the $25 a month and up tiers will receive a signed copy of Laird’s upcoming book The Wind Began to Howl (with a personalized note as well — thank you, Laird).
Since Jessica can get a signed copy whenever she wants, she called me with this contest idea:
Guess Jessica’s five favorite Laird Barron short stories, and whoever guesses the most wins a copy of the book! (It will, of course, be signed to the winner, not to Jessica.)
Laird doesn’t think that anyone will guess all five. We’ll see! Regardless, there will be a winner — and it could be you!
Comment below with your picks. The contest will end at 11:59pm Central Time on Saturday, March 18, 2023. Good luck!
Last but not least: Happy Birthday, Laird. After what you’ve been through these past few months, I’m so happy that you are here to celebrate the day.
P.S. Remember to comment below with your five picks. Please feel free to share on social media, but posting your picks there will not count — they have to be posted in the comments section below. Thanks!
