Halloween Theme!
Here are ten books I really want to read that I think will make perfect reads for Halloween.
1) Dracula- Shockingly, I have yet to read this classic. What is wrong with me?! Too many amazing books, that is what is wrong...
2) Salem's Lot- I really need to get reading on my Stephen King novels. He is my husband's favorite author yet I have only read a few of his books. Most of which I have really enjoyed. And vampires are perfect for Halloween!
3) The Well- Sounds so chill-worthy!!
4) The Haunting of Hill House- Ever wonder where the idea for The Haunting movies came from? Yep. Right here. I really want to read the original tale.
5-The Halloween Tree- Creepy tale takes place on Halloween. Perfect!
6- 20th Century Ghosts- Ghost stories are a must for Halloween!
7) Ghost Story- the title says it all!
8) Asylum- always a perfect setting for this time of year...
9) The Forest of Hands & Teeth- And what would Halloween be without zombies?
10- The Witching Hour- And to round it all off, witches are a must!
Have you read any of these? What are your Halloween read recommendations?

I've recently read Asylum. I thoroughly enjoyed it for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteOOh nice! Never did read Haunting of Hill House. House on Haunted Hill was its movie version, right? I've seen the Vincent Price one so many times!

Asylum is NOT scary, but fun, and the Witching Hour is actually pretty awful. The Haunting of Hill House is a GREAT book. Nice list!!

This is a great list. I loved Dracula & The Haunting of Hill House.
ReplyDeleteThese all look WAY too scary for me, but I do really like the Harry Potter pumpkin at the beginning. Is that yours?
ReplyDeleteI read Dracula (finally) in October and man was I expecting something different. Very, very slow paced. Not at all what I was expecting. Salem's Lot is VERY good. Very creepy. :) Ghost Story is definitely on my TBR. Fantastic list! Thanks so much for stopping by. :)
