I've been reading something spooky/creepy/horrific around this time for a few years now. Does anyone else do this? Any recommendations?
My reads:
- 2023: Perfectly Preventable Deaths by Deirdre Sullivan
- 2022: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
- 2021: Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
- 2020: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
- 2019: Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
- 2018: Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders & Something Wicked this Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
- 2017: Carrie by Stephen King
- 2016: Jekyll and Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
- 2015: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
- 2014: The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H. P. Lovecraft
- 2012: The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft
- 2009: Dracula by Bram Stoker
- 2008: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Classics are a bit hard on my ADHD but I love to read a good Stephen King, Dean Koontz, or Gillain Flynn thriller/horror in October. I've even found some decently spooky YA for when I need a really easy read. This year, I'm on the hunt for some kind of sci-fi horror. I find that googling subgenres is a great way to find recommendations because people tend to be more passionate about a smaller niche
