Zombies vs Unicorns Giveaway!

Zombies vs. Unicorns


by Holly Black, Justine Larbalestier, et al
It's a question as old as time itself: which is better, the zombie or the unicorn? In this anthology, edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier (unicorn and zombie, respectively), strong arguments are made for both sides in the form of short stories. Half of the stories portray the strengths—for good and evil—of unicorns and half show the good (and really, really bad-ass) side of zombies. Contributors include many bestselling teen authors, including Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Maureen Johnson, Meg Cabot, Scott Westerfeld, and Margo Lanagan. This anthology will have everyone asking: Team Zombie or Team Unicorn?


The Prize: 
One winner will receive a finished copy of: 
Zombies vs Unicorns
Poster 
4 pins (2 team zombie and 2 team unicorn)

Official Rules:

Contest ends 12-15 midnight eastern standard time.
Open to all entrants with a valid U.S. mailing address.
You must be 13 years or older to enter
Please leave an email address for me to contact you with if you are the winner.

Bonus entry: Tell me, what team are you--zombies or unicorns? Why?

I'd have to be team unicorn. All they have to do is rear up and kick the zombies in the head. The horse on The Walking Dead was just outnumbered!

Looks like a good book. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would say I'm team Unicorn just because they are pretty whereas zombies are well dead and quite ugly.

I've been really looking forward to reading this book--so many great authors!
I keep bouncing back and forth between team zombie and team unicorn. At the moment I'm teen unicorn because I'm feeling nostalgic. I was absolutely adored unicorns when I was little.
Thanks for the chance to win :)

Oooh, thanks a bunch for giving this book away!

I'm definitely team unicorn. Why? Because unicorns have the cute, pretty look and because of that people underestimate them. People shouldn't assume!

I've been seeing this book everywhere and really want to buy it but I just have so many other books in my TBR list... I think I'm team unicorn because unicorns are usually really pretty and nice and like to help people. Or at least that's what I assume... Anyways, thanks for the giveaway!

+1 Team Unicorn, ok so I have not read the book but I love horses so naturally I'm going to be on the horses/unicron's side!

Amanda from Novel Addiction said...

Team zombie! Undead and proud of it! They are, I mean. And.. well I assume they're proud of it. As they are undead and sort of mindless I'm not sure what sort of emotions they really feel?.. Hm.

Thanks for a great giveaway!

I would love to read this book.
I would be on team unicorn. Well, they would have to smell better than the zombies. They have their own weapon, their horn, and they are happy.

Orchid said...

As far as I can remember, I haven't come across a unicorn book yet; so I can't say team unicorn. But on the other hand, I've only read maybe three zombie books; yet, I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm team zombie. So as of right now I'm on neither team, but Zombies vs Unicorns sounds like a great book. ^_^
Thanks for the great contest.

I'm so glad I found this book. I really can't wait to read it. I love Zombies and Unicorns. So having them together in the same book has to be a winner. :)
As for what team I would pick well that is sure a hard one. The unicorn is cute but do they have a chance against the zombies. They could use their horn for protection but I don’t think that will work to well. I would pick team Zombie. See they might be slow but they have a wicked taste for unicorn meat. Oh yes unicorn meat. You might not know this but as the unicorn ages, its meat becomes fatty and marbled and the living bone in the horn loses density in a process much like osteoporosis. The horn's outer layer of keratin begins to develop a flavor very similar to candied almonds. Blending the crushed unicorn horn into the meat adds delightful, crispy flavor notes in each bite. As I have read on Thinkgeek.com who is the leading producer of canned Unicorn Meat. So I really think once the zombie has a taste of the outstanding meat they will never stop.
Sorry little unicorn. Maybe this book will turn me around to taking your side but until them I’m all team zombies.

Cheers,

Omg I have not heard of this but I suddenly got all crazy fan girl mode. I am team Unicorn it's been on my Christmas and birthday wish list to have one for ages. Still no Unicorn :( Course getting a shotgun and going zombie hunting is on my to do list as well.
Wait how about : Zombie hunting while riding a Unicorn?
I think my brain just exploded with the awesomeness.

Vivien said...

I've been really wanting to read this one. Team Zombie! Because they're cooler, meaner, smellier, not pretty, definitely not going to be in a fairy tale. I love Resident Evil so I'm Team Zombie all the way!

AWESOME GIVEAWAY! :D I'm so dying to read this!
Personally, I'd have to say I'm team unicorn. :) I'm big into folklore and mythology, besides that, Unicorns are pretty and I'd imagine nice smelling, as opposed to the zombies...

It's hard to choose but since I recently finished a good zombie book I'm going to go with zombies! Because they're just scarier and killing zombies is fun. ;)

I've wanted to read this book since I first heard about. At the moment, I am team unicorn, because even though they seem pure and innocent, there is something savage underneath.

Unicorns are magical, need we say more. Also, they don't eat flesh. ..Unless they're Diana Peterfreund's unicorns.
