Top Ten Spooky Reads
This weeks theme was actually a Halloween freebie. I both love and hate freebies. When I have an amazing idea for it its great but when my mind goes blank as to what to do it makes a hard list harder haha. So this week I am going to talk about the top 5 spooky books I have read, and the top 5 spooky books I want to read.
Top 5 Spooky Books I Have Read:
1. You by Caroline Kepnes. Being inside Joes head was truly a spooky experience.
2. The Witching Hour by Anne Rice. I don’t remember how scared I was while reading this book, but the end of it caused me so much emotional distress that I bawled my eyes out, never picked it or any of the rest of the books up again.
3. The Passage by Justin Cronin. While I don’t like zombies as genre, I did like this book and when I get over how angry the ending made me I do want to finish off the trilogy.
4. The Archived by Victoria Schwab. It took me a moment to get into it but I really enjoyed it. I didn’t realize it was considered a horror.
5. The Dogs by Allen Stratton. I think this is literally every single horror book I have ever read.
Top 5 Spooky Books I Want To Read:
1. The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes. Back in the day when I bought the book I read the first two pages and was instantly hooked but made myself put it down before I read anymore because at the time I didn’t have a moment to actually read it and I have never picked it back up. Hopefully sometime soon.
2. The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris. I love the movies and really want to do the book. This is technically the second book but everyone knows what series I am talking about if I mention this one.
3. Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. I know nothing but it has been on my shelf longer than I can remember.
4. Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. This has only been on my shelves for a few years I think but I still don’t really know anything about it. The blurb on the back has been enough for it to remain on my shelves even after some culling.
5. Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. An oldie but I hear its amazing.
Be sure to share your lists! I haven’t really read that many spooky books so I would love some recommendations for Halloween reads.
