These past few months, I’ve been coming across some spooky reads, so I thought I would do a little round-up of them for you all, so you can get the full experience of Halloween during the month of October!


You guys are probably done hearing me talk about The Accident Season, but too bad! I just really liked this book and thought it was so unique, atmospheric, and let’s not forget about the awesome magical realism.

This month I also picked up an eARC of This Monstrous Thing and while my review is going up in October, let me tell you: I loved this book! It’s a reimagining of Frankenstein with clockwork and steampunk elements! Totally threw me back to The Infernal Devices.

I also recently enjoyed Black-Eyed Susans—a different type of spooky! If you loved Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train, you should give this one a try! It’s a thriller/murder mystery you won’t want to miss.
