Win authentic Harlan County warez!
*Edited to add that the contest ends August 25th, 10 p.m. EST.*
Win a piece of Harlan County! This doesn’t mean we’re giving away Miss Harlan County, Mari Adkins (or her enthusiastic suggestion of coal mine slurry water). No, we’re talking about actual Harlan County memorabilia!
What can you win?
*A Harlan County Horrors poster signed by the editor, Mari Adkins, the cover artist, Billy Tackett, and the mayor of Harlan, KY, Danny Howard
*An authentic Harlan County High School Black Bears T-shirt
*An authentic Harlan County postcard signed by Mari Adkins and Mayor Danny Howard
*The Criterion Collection copy of Barbara Kopple’s famous documentary, Harlan County, U.S.A.
It is easy.
1) Just link to the Harlan County Horrors book page (http://www.apexbookstore.com/products/harlan-county-horrors) from your blog, Facebook, website, or Myspace page.
2) Be sure to mention the contest with the link.
3) Bring your linkage to our attention via a comment on this post or via an email so that we know to enter you for the drawing. If you link AND pre-order* the book, you get two chances.
By the time this book comes out, Mari Adkins wants Harlan, KY, to be the most recognizable city name in the world. Let’s make that happen!
*If you’ve already pre-ordered, you will automatically be entered in the drawing.

This is a great idea for a contest. I have my eye on the t-shirt ;)

Although I should like to point out that Harlan County Nebraska is centrally located, and much less horrifying.
:)
I already own parts of Harlan, I just wanted to help promote the book. :)
done and done…
