Creepy October Reads

Hey Y'all - Halloween is next week - YEAH!  If you're like me, you've probably spent a fair amount of time wondering what sort of creepy, spooky, or downright terrifying books are perfect to read in the month of October.  Well, hang on to your chairs - here are {some of the} great books you can read this month to really get you in the Halloween spirit!

The Mara Dyer Trilogy - Michelle Hodkin 

The whole series is weird, wild, and just all around one crazy trip.  I don't want to spoil anything (and just my luck I would) so I'll just tell you to read these books and leave it at that!

The Peculiar Children Series - Ransom Riggs 

Words can't describe how much I love this book.  It has monsters crawling out of the woodwork, and it's creepy as hell.  Read them all - you won't be disappointed.

 

 Survive the Night - Danielle Vega

Murder, underground subway parties, a friend gone crazy - this book has it all.

Asylum - Madeleine Roux

Kids staying at a college dorm that was originally an asylum!  How can you not love that?!

The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall - Katie Alender

Death and ghosts and a girl who doesn't know she's dead - this whole book is just amazing!

The Harry Potter Series - J.K. Rowling 

I know these aren't technically creepy horror novel type reads, but there is enough of a creepy, scary aspect in each book to make them worthy of being read in October (or really any time of the year!)

Every Heart a Doorway and Down Among the Sticks and Bones - Seanan McGuire 

These can both be read as standalones, but you should read Every Heart a Doorway first.  Both books have some murder, lots of darkness, and twin sisters that will kind of make you sit up and say "What?!"
