if you want some horror ( but also action and romance) i would recommend you soul avenged by Keri Lake, it's teh first book in the son of wrath series and each book gets darker and darker but it's so well written that even chicken like me had to finish it^^
ReplyDeleteHmm...a good scary read I'd say would be Doomed by Tracy Deebs! This is what I gave away last year because it scared me to the bone! Basically some super genius created a virus that shut down all technology. No computers, no credit cards, no atms, no cash registers, no hospital machines...NOTHING! And it was so scary because I could see someone super smart doing that to us in the now! Society basically shut down and it was up to the heroine and her two new neighbors, who were brothers to solve the game that was presented to her in order to basically save the world! Truly terrifying in the realistic sense!
ReplyDeleteWritten In Red by Anne Bishop. The world is really different and interesting and the characters who are 'animals' scare a little bit during the book!
ReplyDeleteThe Red Church by Scott Nicholson is one of my most fave horror books. It freaked me out. Most of his books do.
ReplyDeleteThe 5th Wave by Rick Yancey is great because there are aliens, romance, and it is creepy! Also becoming a movie! I also love Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. Creepy ghost girl that a boy falls for! Plus some other freaky ghosts. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFiendish by Brenna Yovanoff! It will totally creep you out!
ReplyDeleteIt's not really a horror book, but World War Z by Max Brooks can be pretty scary. :P
ReplyDeleteAnna Dressed in Blood (Anna #1)
ReplyDeleteby Kendare Blake
because it has an unique plot and it's truly a creepy book!
Piercing by Ryu Murakami because this novel isn’t “boo” scary; it’s more like “set your teeth on edge for days and make you never want to be close to anyone for the rest of your life” scary.
ReplyDeleteAnna Dressed in Blood...it is scary YA novel. Male protagonist hunts ghosts. Then he meets Anna Dressed in Blood, who might get the better of him.
ReplyDeletethe coldest girl in coldtown..very good YA horror book
ReplyDeletethx u for hosting ^^
The Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman is so so dark and grim. Definite nightmares await!
ReplyDeleteAsylum by Madeleine Roux is a great spooky book to read for Halloween. It is YA and very scary, in my opinion. It is about a guy that goes to a summer program at a college and the building he stays in used to be an old insane asylum. Of course, he goes poking around and finds way more than he bargained for.
ReplyDeleteI like Rhys Ford's Hellsinger series (FISH AND GHOSTS and DUCK DUCK GHOST), because m/m urban fantasy is so hard to do well!
ReplyDeleteTrix, vitajex(at)Aol(Dot)com
Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman, is strangely spooky! Such a nostalgic reading.
ReplyDeleteAnna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. Though I must warn you, this book gave me nightmares. lol. Thanks for the giveaway! You can enter my Spooktacular Giveaway at From the Shadows. Happy Halloween! :)
ReplyDeleteThe complete stories of Edgar Alan Poe. Why? Simply because they are classic, I love to read the stories every year.
ReplyDeleteOcean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
ReplyDeleteI recommend Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn (author of Gone Girl). This book is amazing; you think you have it figured out and then...... lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with Skulduggery Pleasant By Derek Landy. It's a fun middle grade book with plenty of humor, witty and sarcastic characters and a cool magical world.
ReplyDeleteI recommend reading The Old Willis Place by Mary Downing Hahn. I read it a few years ago, so I don't remember all of the details, but I do remember loving it. Thanks for the great giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend Nevermore by Kelly Creagh because while it has the typical goth-cheerleader pairing, there's quite a spin on it due to the creepy themes involved.
ReplyDeleteMy recommendation is my fav. Halloween spooky book:
ReplyDeleteThe Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman!
Why you should read this? This is an Gaiman novel! He's teh best author in "weird, but funny" section! :) Nobody Owens is a really nice character, you must love his story, but this book is really horroristic - cool for Halloween!
I like Anna dressed in bloos and Girl of nightmares, there are not too scary but good books!
ReplyDeletethanks!
I would recommend the whole Resident Evil series by S. D. Perry.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great series especially if you know the video games and/or the movies.
Carrie by Stephen King because I consider that any Stephen King's book is good to read on Halloween. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend The Amityville Horror. It's a classic and it'll make you terrified of pigs.
ReplyDeleteThe Fall by Bethany Griffin, just came out, and it is really good! It's a re-telling of the Poe story.
ReplyDeleteI don't read a lot of spooky books, but I would recommend The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle. It's a classic mystery story with a spooky setting on the Yorkshire moors in England.
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend the Something Strange and Deadly series. Zombies and the 1800s (I think) make a surprisingly good combination. The image of a woman wearing one of those huge dresses running away is just kind of hysterical. I'm horrible :-P But I did really love the series :)
ReplyDeleteI recommend Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, it was interesting and fun. I don't read many scary books cause I'm such a wimp. The Summoning series by Kelley Armstrong was also very good.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Alice in Zombieland series by Gena Showalter. Lots of action, strong characters, scary zombies and a lot of great humor too!
ReplyDeletethe shining by Stephen King because it's scary
ReplyDeleteThe Shining by Stephen King!! The book was so creepy I was scared to stay alone for a week!!!
ReplyDeleteI would recommend you read the Demonata series by Darren Shan this halloween. It will definitely keep you up at night. He is a great author. The books are not very long and you can do a 12 days of Halloween read lol
ReplyDeleteMisery by Stephen King - it's actually a really quick read for him. It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou really need to read The Cell by Stephen King, especially if you like a modern twist on the traditional zombie-fare!! One of the best I've ever come across :D
ReplyDeleteWhile not particularly scary, I loved The Greyfriar by Clay and Susan Griffith. It's part of the Vampire Empire trilogy, and doesn't get nearly enough love for it's masterful blend of vampires, alt-history, and steampunk.
ReplyDeleteHave you read The Girl From The Well by Rin Chupeco? It's about a vengeful ghost girl and a boy possessed by demons. It's perfect for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteNight Shift, a collection of short stories by Stephen King, has some incredibly creepy moments, perfect for Halloween reading :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
Of monsters and madness by Jessica Verday. It is Edgar Allen Poe with a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde complex. What's not to love? It was an amazing book. Thank you for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteIf you like cozy mysteries, I;d recommend Scared Stiff by Annelise Ryan. It's a little bit quirky, amusing and takes place at Halloween.
DeleteKaren Moning's Fever series. It is well-written, scary in its way, and has a great, enigmatic hero (word used advisedly!).
ReplyDeleteI love Agatha Christie's AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. It's deliciously creepy! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend The Diviners, it's a fantasy/paranormal book set in the Roaring Twenties with bit of a spooky side.
ReplyDeleteI recommend Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. It's perfect for Halloween. It has ghosts, spookiness, murder mystery and a little of romance.
ReplyDeleteCryer's Cross by Lisa McMann, it is the kind of book you can't put down, but it's also very tense and scary.
ReplyDeleteIf you like romance books featuring witches, you should definitely check out The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the giveaway!
Feral by Holly Schinder :D It has gore and lots of blood
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop...it's fantastic, dark and disturbing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween and thanks for the amazing giveaway!
It By Steven King book still scares me when i read it great for halloween
ReplyDeleteYou should read "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson because it is the finest haunted house tale ever.
ReplyDeleteI recommend The shining by Stephen King
ReplyDeleteAnna dressed in blood by Kendare Blake. It is creepy but it has humor in it. Really good!
ReplyDeleteIt's not exactly scary but it is Hallowen-ish and it's a great cozy: Trick or Treat Murder by Leslie Meier. I read her books all the time. She is never one to disappoint. Great writing!
ReplyDeleteThe Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey because it's just so creepy! The way it's written made me smile or skin crawl every few pages, it's brilliant and the writing is just so excellent that even as someone who isn't much into spooky stories, I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI would read First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones (actually the entire series). It's one of my favorite PNR series. The main character Charley is a sarcastic Grim Reaper/private investigator. The book is funny, touching and steamy. The more the series progresses the better it gets with something big coming, book 7 just dropped so if you like the 1st then you can have a marathon without any cliffhangers. I promise you wont be disappointed. If you want something darker then Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series was absolutely incredible.
ReplyDeleteI recommend anything by Stephen King for Halloween because he writes truly terrifying books! If you have not read It, it is one of my personal favorites.
ReplyDeleteJust One Look by Harlan Coben. It isn't about Halloween but it is so terrifying that you will never feel completely safe again!
ReplyDeleteThe Talisman by King & Straub, it's more of a mystery/suspense but it can get creepy.
ReplyDeleteThe Charley Davidson Series, its not scary but it does involve the Grim reaper but not as you know it. Darynda Jones' writing is funny and can't help but make you laugh out loud. Its my favourite series.
ReplyDeleteI recommend A Great & Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. It's scary but so beautiful and just a great story.
