Hi! So I’m a very scaredy cat. I can’t read paranormal or gory horror reads, like Stephen King books. That’s why I put in Literary Fiction as the flair instead of horror:
But I did like Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. They’re not very scary but they still had that creepy undertone that made them perfect for Halloween.
Why am I reading Halloween-y books if I scare easily? Well, it’s a bit of a getting out of my comfort zone kind of challenge to myself. Since I never touch or read this kind of genre any given day of the year, I thought joining in the boo! moments of October would be the greatest way to achieve this challenge.
I’m deciding if I should read Dark Places by Gilian Flynn and/or The Paris Apartment by Lucey Foley this month. I could read thrillers every now and then, so they’re not particularly eerie or creepy for me. So I’m wondering if there are still other books out there that’s great for Halloween?
Thanks!
