The Halloween season has officially begun, and the excitement can not be contained. Halloween themed movies, snacks, TV shows, anything and everything have become a bonafide seasonal festivity.
What better way to commemorate the beginning of October than a spooky book list. The books on the list are made to either scare you into sleep, or compel you jump with fear. Maybe. Probably not. Either way, you’ll love it.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
By: Alvin Schwartz
Remember that book you used to read underneath your blankets when you were younger? Or the story about the scarecrow and the three men? If you don’t better get to reading this. It was creepy then, and it’s just as creepy now.
The Shining
By: Stephen King
Stephen King makes the page again with his other book, the Shining. Now if you were a fan of the movie, and you’re an avid book reader you’ll definitely love this one. It’s a shining example of a true, classic, horror novel.
House of Leaves
By: Mark Z. Danielewski
Takes you on a journey of three different stories all from a different point of view. It’s quite the long novel with it being a whopping 800 pages. If that number scares you, you know it definitely should be read for the month of October.
SAT Prep
By: College Board
The scariest book that will remind you of all the high school preparation that gave you hell. Writing? Reading Comprehension?! Algebra? This one should be read with the lights on.
