With today’s release of Cthulhu Lies Dreaming: Twenty-three Tales of the Weird and Cosmic, it’s time for a new Coffee and a Book contest.

Contest Rules

We drink it while writing. We drink it while editing. We drink it while reading.

If you’re a coffee drinker, we’re betting you do the same.

Now is your chance to show the world.
Send us snaps, pics, photos, images, selfies or not, with people or not, of coffee and a book. Extra points if the book is one you actually recommend people should read. (It does not have to be a book we publish.) Submit by midnight March 14, AoE time (That’s UTC -12).

On March 15,2015, we’ll choose one person to win coffee and a book.  This time the book will be
