I am so excited to start some creepy books this spooky season! 👻
I have so many books on my TBR, but here are my top 4 books I’m most excited to read!
1. Ask for Andrea by Noelle W. Ihli: This suspenseful book is about murder whose victims are now seeking revenge from beyond the grave.
2. Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge: This is a Halloween horror book. In a small town everyone knows the legend of the October Boy, who rises from the cornfields every Halloween! It definitely gives children of the corn and slasher horror movie vibes.
3. Just like Home by Sarah Gialey: This book is about a girl going back to her parent’s home when strange notes appear in her father’s handwriting who is a serial killer. She believes it is the man living in their guest house, but he insists it’s not him.
4. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides: this book is about a couple who have a luxurious life in London. One day when Gabriel comes home late his wife Alicia shoots him 5 time and never speaks a word about it. Her silence turns this situation into a far larger mystery.

... Read moreOkay, so you're curious about 'Ask for Andrea'? I totally get it, this book has been on my mind! When I picked up Noelle W. Ihli's 'Ask for Andrea,' I was immediately drawn into its chilling premise. Imagine this: a group of victims, taken too soon, aren't just gone. Oh no, they're back, and they're definitely out for revenge. The sheer thought of murder victims seeking retribution from beyond the grave gave me goosebumps. It’s got such a strong supernatural vibe that truly makes it haunting, and the way the story unfolds around these 'murderer' victims is just incredibly suspenseful. It's not just a simple ghost story; it's a complex web of past wrongs and present horrors that kept me glued to the pages.
Finding the perfect spooky read for fall is one of my favorite things to do as the leaves start changing and the air gets crisp. There's just something about curling up with a truly chilling book when there's an autumn landscape outside your window. Beyond 'Ask for Andrea,' I've found some other gems that perfectly capture that spooky season feeling. Each one offers a unique flavor of fear, from classic horror tropes to psychological thrillers that mess with your head.
Take 'Dark Harvest' by Norman Partridge, for instance. If you love a good 'slasher-like' tale set in a small, eerie town, especially one centered around Halloween night, this one is for you. The legend of the October Boy rising from the cornfields is so evocative and chilling; it definitely gave me those classic horror movie vibes. And then there's 'Just Like Home' by Sarah Gailey, which is a masterclass in suspense. The idea of returning to your childhood home only to uncover unsettling 'family secrets' and hints of a past 'murder' was just too good to pass up. The psychological tension as the protagonist grapples with what's real and what's not is absolutely gripping.
And finally, 'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides is a must-read for any 'mystery' or 'thriller' fan. The central enigma of Alicia's silence after a brutal murder is so captivating. It’s not just about solving a crime; it’s about delving into the depths of human psyche and the secrets people keep. The twists and turns in this story are just incredible, making it a truly unforgettable read. I highly recommend diving into these if you're looking to fill your spooky season with some serious thrills!
