Horror/Spooky Book Help

Post by Heidi M Simone »

Do you have any recommendations of books to read this month? Or do you need help i finding something to read? This is the right place for you!

Horror can be thought of as "a genre of fiction whose purpose is to create feelings of fear, dread, repulsion, and terror in the audience—in other words, it develops an atmosphere of horror."

Here are a few links that can help you find a book for this month! Let us know what you are thinking of reading and/or if you need help in finding something to read! :techie-studyinggray:

I was thinking of reading Dead Voices by Katherine Arden. Spooky, but intended for a younger audience, so it can’t be too scary!

Also, has anyone read The Haunting of Hill House? I had started it and read a few chapters, but it didn’t keep my interest. Was wondering if it got better?

Good pick!

Gali and I are planning a buddy read of Scritch Scratch by Lindsay Currie and we were wondering if you'd like to join in?

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Yay!

We pretty much only do them over on Goodreads now, but I'll make sure to tag you here when we're going to start. :D

I'm in much the same boat. I got about 20 pages in, and I *will* finish it, but it's just not keeping my interest. :-?

Good to know I’m not the only one! Not sure if I’ll continue or not. I have so many other books to read and the one is not at the top of my list.
