Spooky Reads for Halloween
If you didn’t already know, I am a huge fan of Halloween. HUGE. I’m all about trick-or-treating (although at my age, it’s more like drink-while-you-treat), DIY costumes, and Halloween parties… Oct 31 is the one day a year I’m guaranteed to go all out.
There’s one major exception to the Spook Craze, however, and that’s scary movies. I saw my first horror flick when I was 12 (Halloween, aptly enough) and Michael Myers did some serious damage to my psyche. Nowadays, this delicate flower can’t handle more than the tiniest bit of suspense.
But I DO love a scary book, and this seems like the perfect time of year for a Spooky Reads list! I’ve compiled eight of my favorites; some fiction, some non-fiction, some true horror stories and some a bit out of the horror box.
And there you have it! The spookiest 8 books to wrap up October 2021…plus anything Stephen King has ever written. Obviously.
