10 Horror Books to Read This Halloween
Almost everyone has some Halloween habits — for me, it’s watching John Carpenter’s excellent movie The Thing and reading a good horror book. If you are looking for chilling experience, you can always play it safe and put your trust into, for instance, short stories by H.P. Lovecraft. Well, in the list below, I would like to propose some less obvious titles, which will undoubtedly make your Halloween unforgettable. Let’s start then — 10 horror books to read this Halloween.
1. “The Agents of Dreamland” — Caitlin R. Kiernan
Caitlin R. Kiernan’s short novel The Agents of Dreamland, in my opinion, is the perfect mix of The X-Files and H.P. Lovecraft’s short stories. If you are looking for an enjoyable, scary book for Halloween’s evening — that’s a sure choice.
2. “The Secret of Ventriloquism” — Jon Padgett
Even today, I remember the sheer fear I felt when I was watching The Child’s Play for the first time. In his short story collection, Jon Padgett also uses themes such as dummies and ventriloquists, but he does it in a surprising way — chills during the read are guaranteed.
