I absolutely love reading, averaging 40 books a year. My favorite genre would be horror/thrillers tho there really aren’t too many that actually feel scary to me. So these are My favorite spooky books that I’ve read so far

Ohhh baby. If you loved the movie Split you will love this book. So many good twists and turns that you don’t see coming, the eeriness is so well done. My favorite psychological thriller

The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward, Paperback

One of the most bone chilling books I have read. The audiobook is the way to go with this one. The narrator is next level with his voice acting. Will always recommend this book for horror lovers, however will always give the trigger warning it is hea...

The Black Farm by Elias Witherow, Paperback | Barnes & Noble®

While I do not recommend the Netflix movie version. This book is so good. The first couple chapters sucked me right in and gave me goosebumps. On the more YA end but a great read nonetheless

There's Someone Inside Your House|Paperback - Barnes & Noble

Can’t have a spooky list without The Exorcist now can we haha. It’s a classic

The Exorcist (40th Anniversary Edition)|Paperback - Barnes & Noble

Ohh the nostalgia. I reread these recently and they are still such good stories and now I get to pass them on to my kids for them to read. Humor, frights, and fun games lie within these books. And let’s not forget the incredible eerie illustrations

Scary Stories Paperback Box Set: Complete 3-Book

Not for the easily queasy folks but wow. I had no idea what I was getting into reading this book. But the idea behind it and the execution was impeccable. Really makes you think and realize the horrors of the world and what could become reality. Show...

Tender Is the Flesh: Bazterrica, Agustina

While I’m not a fan of this author, this was the first and only book of hers I read. That being said the suspense in it is great I’m excited to see the film adaptation when it comes out. Great storyline with a twist you really don’t see coming

Verity: Hoover, Colleen

So much fun! Does a great job embodying a classic 80s teenage slasher film. It’s got humor, it’s got terror, and small town drama. I couldn’t put it down once I started

Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare

This book had such an interesting concept that I hadn’t read before, Riley Sager is such a good writer really making impactful jaw dropping twists in his story. The suspense was great

Survive the Night: A Novel -Sager, Riley: Books

This concept was a lot of fun to get into, especially with making you think “could this possibly be something that has happened before or could happen in the future”. It’s a reality tv / vlogger sort of style show where the contestants don’t realize ...

Hide by Kiersten, White - 9780593359235

LOVED this book. The true crime aspects, the paranormal aspects, the people and their stories. Truly keeps you on your toes and locked in till the end

Sleep Tight: A Novel by J. H. Markert

I went into this book expecting to hate it and ended up loving it. Seeing it was about AI made me roll my eyes. But after reading it your eyes will bulge, your heart will race and it will leave you thinking “could this happen some day?”

William - Coile, Mason: Books - Amazon.com

If you grew up reading goosebumps, or watching tales from the crypt, you just found yourself an R rated version that will send chills down your spine. It’s super gory, super intense and creepy. Love finding a good fun spooky read

If you liked the movie The Strangers and You’re Next , this book is like those two had a short story baby. It’s a quick read, sure to get your heart pounding

The Mountain's Silent Witness eBook

Told from the child’s perspective, giving a new perspective on horror, this book is a disturbing thrill beginning to end. Other mommy gives coraline vibes but extremely more sinister. Definitely a good read to dive into with the lights off! The audio...

Incidents Around the House: A Novel

This book did not disappoint. Little slow to start off but once it gets going I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. So much fun for spooky season. Demons, drama, and some gore! Twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. Loving this ser...

The Exorcist's House (Exorcist's House #1)

The second book in this collection slightly less scary then the first but not by much. Following the family after they move out they seem to realize their troubles may not be behind them and closer than they realize. Perfect middle ground between the...

Genesis (The Exorcist's House, #2) by Nick Roberts

The third book of the series does not disappoint or lack in the scare department. Nick Robert’s really delivers in this one tying everything together and leaving you with the thought of what could possibly be next. Could there be another book in the ...
