 Publisher Jason Sizemore writes "I'm doing a big promotion to generate some buzz about [Apex Book Company's] upcoming horror anthology Harlan County Horror. All the stories are based/inspired by Harlan, Kentucky, a place unique in its culture and geography. We're giving away a bunch of authentic Harlan, Kentucky, stuff in a contest."
Some of those give-away goodies are:
