There’s been a lot going on this summer, but I’m never too busy to plan out my spooky books for October. I scanned through my StoryGraph TBR list, filtering to horror/thriller/mystery books that I’ve previously marked but not yet read—love that feature of StoryGraph. =) And I put together this list to read this month:

I started The Whispering House last night. So far it’s not too scary, but it is mysterious, and I’ll take that for now. (But I am hoping that I get another chilling haunted house story this month.)

I liked Bird Box a lot, and I’ve been wanting to check out this sequel. I’m going to do this one on audio, which should be appropriate given the subject matter.

I don’t know anything about Cackle, other than that I must have liked it at some point enough to add it to my TBR. I’m gonna guess this is about a witch.

Just one child can’t be too scary, right? Wrong.

I want to read Coraline to the kids this year for Halloween—they haven’t seen the movie yet so I figured then we could watch it. I just have to find the copy of Coraline that I bought last year…

My money is on The Toll for my truly scary haunted house book this year. Just look at that cover. Chef’s kiss.
Happy October!
