What are your favorite spooky and/or cozy fall books?
Me and my friend are looking for some fall books! She’s looking for the spookier ones while I’m looking for the cozier ones (although, I wouldn’t mind a little spookiness too).
I’m currently re-reading “Something Wicked This Way Comes” by Ray Bradbury, and it is a great cozy fall book. It has it’s spooky moments, but I wouldn’t call it outright horror. To me, it’s more of a coming of age story with some light horror elements to it. Bradbury also wrote a book called “The October Country” that I’ve heard is great fall reading, but I haven’t read it myself and can’t vouch for it.
On the more spooky side, Norman Partridge’s “Dark Harvest” is a great little creature feature book. It’s got a lot of good action and tense horror moments (as well as a good bit of gore here and there), as well as being absolutely DRENCHED in fall atmosphere. It’s fairly short, under 200 pages, so it’s a breezy read. There is also a movie. Don’t watch it. It blows.
If you’re okay with graphic novels, “Pumpkinheads” by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks is one I read recently about a couple of pumpkin patch workers on the last night of the season. It’s another cozy one and is, once again, drenched in autumnal spirit.
