  • by

It’s spooky season at last! With halloween less than a month away, here are some books to help get you in the mood for the holiday!

House of Hollow

This follows three sisters that have always been a little strange, though they didn’t think anything of it. At least, not until the oldest of them disappears and the younger two must find ut both what happened to her and what happened to them all when they were children.

House of Hollow review

Vampires Never Get Old

This anthology series has a little bit of something for everyone, provided that you also like vampires. There’s a range of stories from the deeply unsettling to ones that are just a lot of fun.

Witches of Ash and Ruin

Of course we needed a witch book! This one follows younger witches as an ancient evil is coming back into the world via a string of sacrifices of other witches.

Witches of Ash and Ruin review

Roses and Rot

This isn’t technically a horror as far as I’m aware, but it does follow several artists that are determined to achieve greatness in a school setting that turns out to be much more than it appears to be. Also, it’s another book about sisters.

Roses and Rot review

Strange Practice

This one is not actually that scary, but it is a lot of fun! This one follows a medical professional that specializes in the supernatural and the vampires and other supernatural creatures that come to her for help.

Strange Practice Review

Sawkill Girls

This is a lovely horror novel about a small town with old families and one that has been subject to a demon’s whims for generations. Along with him comes a pattern of sacrifice that must occur in order to secure a family’s legacy, whether they want it to happen or not.

Sawkill Girls review

I’ll be Gone in the Dark

This is non-fiction, but true crime feels appropriate for this time of the year. The tale of the Golden State killer, the focus on the stories of those who have been left behind after the atrocities, and the unfortunate shift at the end will leave you unnerved.

I’ll be Gone in the Dark review

Tales from the Twisted Eden Sector

Most of my books have at least a little something spooky in them, but my very first published series was the closest to intentional horror. The series is a series of short stories that take place in an alternate universe Vancouver where magic exists but is kept hidden by the Syndicate by any means possible.
