Some spooky and mysterious book recs for spooky season?

You can look for “October reads,” “spooky reads,” or “horror” on my blog to find more, but here are some recs off the top of my head that I think are especially good for autumn:

The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell

The Whistling by Rebecca Netley

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

Uzumaki by Junji Ito

The Wild Hunt by Emma Seckel

The Seance by John Harwood

Gallant by V.E. Schwab

Slewfoot by Brom

The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson

I tend to like gothic horror for this season, so that’s what most of these are, but if you’re looking for anything specific, let me know!

4 Spooky Books for October

The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass

This was suggested to me by a friend last year and it was so addicting to read. Jake Livingston is like any other teen who is trying to survive high school, survive having a crush on the handsome new student, and dealing with his family life- oh, and he can see ghosts.

2. What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

Edgar Allan Poe fans unite! T. Kingfisher has written an expert retelling of Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher with a killer twist. Also, she gives us a character who uses neopronouns, which was very nice!

3. The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury

If you can find the edition illustrated by Gris Grimly, I highly recommend his drawings, but if not, another is fine. The Halloween Tree is such a classic! It speaks to the autumnal joys and youthfulness surrounding Halloween as we travel through space and time with a group of young boys.

4. We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

The atmosphere of this book is so eerie and gives you the chills. Two sisters who have come from money live alone outside a town and there is always tension between them and the townspeople, which is only aggravated by the arrival of someone new.

“We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.”

~ Stephen King🖤📚💀

I always have this quote up in my office/library because it’s one of my all time favorites by one of my all time favorite authors🥰 I’ve been planning on getting this tattooed for a long time as well, hopefully soon🖤

I know I haven’t posted on here in a while—I’ve been working hard on my book, which is coming out in a few days (September 12th 2023). 👻

Preventing a Murder is hard—especially when all the suspects are dead.

When whimsical stage magician, Abby Spector, finds herself snowbound in a mysterious mansion days before her friend's wedding, she uncovers a vengeful spirit's deadly agenda. Armed with her quick wit and tools from a former paranormal investigator, Abby must navigate a web of ghostly suspects and cryptic clues.

Alongside her eccentric allies, she embarks on an enchanting journey brimming with supernatural suspense, whodunit intrigue, and a budding sapphic romance. As Abby bridges the gap between the living and the spectral, she unravels deep secrets that lie within the haunted estate.

With the wedding approaching, Abby must face her tragic past and unite old friends in a race against time to identify and vanquish the correct ghost before the big day. Can they put their differences aside and prevent a murder from beyond the grave?

Perfect for fans of NBC’s Psych & Scooby-Doo.

Now available for pre-order.

Okay I'm finally reading the whole Frankenstein book since I have only ever read some random chapters for uni and is it me or how's that everyone's gay? Not complaining at all, just checking if it's just me
