I’m aware I’ve been a bit quiet lately - I’m away at the moment and haven’t been able to keep in touch - but I hope you’re all keeping well? With Halloween fast approaching I thought it was time to find out what books give you the chills and what you think is the scariest book of all time?
Let me know! And happy reading (don’t have nightmares…)
I just recently read Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell and it was BONE CHILLING! It was such a fabulous story with so much horror in it. It wasn’t scary just for the sake of being scary, but it was terrifying. I really loved the whole journey, but I had to take breaks so I didn’t have nightmares.
The PROLOGUE alone made my entire body shake. It was such a great scary read for October!
I also enjoyed Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill and The Troop by Nick Cutter earlier this year. Both have stuck with me and remembering scenes from both still gives me goosebumps!
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
It’s hard to choose just one book. Here are two that I read within the last year:
Getaway by Zoje Stage - three women hiking in the Grand Canyon. One man w really bad intentions.
The Collective by Alison Gaylin - get a copy and dive in.
I recently found The Whisper Man by Alex North unbelievably scary - not a 'Halloween read' as such but verrrry creepy and jumpy!
Hey Steve,
If you haven't already devoured it, Naomi's Room by Jonathan Aycliffe is a pretty terrifying read. Well worth grabbing a copy.
Hope you're well, too.
Best, Graeme.
