Its finally spooky season which means it’s the perfect time to settle with a blanket, a warm drink, and a book that will give you just the right amount of spooky shivers. What better way to embrace the season than with stories about haunted houses, these haunted house tales promise to make your October nights delightfully eerie.
I can never put Grady Hendrix’s books down and I happily binge them in one sitting. This haunted house story blends family drama, subtle possession, and everyday life made sinister. Louise Joyner and her brother Mark return home after their parents’ death, navigating grief, sibling tension, and a house that feels… wrong. Grady masterfully balances humour, horror, and deep character development, showing how memories and perspectives distort reality. Even someone like me, usually immune to haunted dolls, found the creepy puppets genuinely unsettling.
From the first page, the haunting prologue sets a tone that lingers through to the final chapter. The writing is so vivid you can almost hear the manor’s creaking floorboards and feel its chill. While the haunted house delivers spooky thrills, the story is ultimately about grief, guilt, and forgiveness. William’s journey is heartbreaking yet hopeful, and the tragic mystery kept me fully invested. Effortlessly paced, the book evokes unease, sadness, and hope. For lovers of gothic haunted house stories, this is a must-read for the spooky season.
I absolutely adored Mexican Gothic the horror elements are inventive, intriguing, and executed brilliantly. The atmosphere is top-notch, immersing you fully in the story’s dark, chilling world. Every twist and turn is terrifying, spine-tingling, and at times outright horrifying. What sets this book apart is how unique and captivating the horror is; it keeps you guessing while making the fear feel entirely real. I’ve read many novels with a promising premise, but so few truly deliver the level of dread they hint at.
Blurb: A faithful friend, Ethan Powell, responds to an urgent summons from a childhood acquaintance. He finds himself a solitary guest in the foreboding, inscrutable Usher mansion. A mysterious ailment has possessed Roderick Usher, lord of the manor, which has resisted all medical treatment and threatens to extinguish the line of Usher forever. Yet a darker enigma faces Powell, and the further he probes the more obscure and horrifying seems the truth. Building to its heart-stopping climax this classic tale of the macabre by the great American author Edgar Allan Poe has been faithfully adapted for the stage preserving much of the beloved text in the script. It is sure to delight all Poe fans and to convert the uninitiated.
Blurb: It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, the light-hearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.
