Are you looking for a great Halloween read but don’t know where to start? Here are five books that are perfect for Halloween and fall reading.
Dracula by Bram Stoker
In this Halloween classic, Dracula follows an assistant to a wealthy, mysterious man- who appears to be surrounded by confusion and tragedy.
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
One of the Queen of Crime’s most famous novels, Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None has the spooky happenings and gloomy atmosphere that make a perfect October read. Set on a remote island where a group of strangers is invited to an event that never happens, danger is lurking in every corner and no one can trust anyone- not even themselves. This murder mystery is full of twists and turns and is sure to keep interest up until the very last page.
Good Morning, Monster by Catherine Gildiner
Good Morning, Monster is a therapist’s account of her most memorable and heroic patients. If you are looking for an uplifting read this fall that still explores the flaws of human existence, this is the perfect book.
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
The inspiration for the childhood classic, Neil Gaiman’s Coraline is a spooky novel for children. That doesn’t mean, however, that it can’t be enjoyed later in life. Coraline is the fantastical story of a little girl who gets far more than she bargained for after making a wish.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Frankenstein is also a timeless horror classic. This spooky novel is about a scientist whose ill-advised creation becomes impossible to control. Originally full of politically charged commentary, this book has had several revised editions that all pack a punch perfect for the Halloween Season.
