It’s almost September and it’s time to get excited about all things autumn and Halloween! Need some ideas for your spooky season reading list? Below are some spooky, creepy, and scary, as well as some non-traditional ideas for your list! This post includes the spooky reads from what I’ve read so far this year, and I have an entirely separate post about my top 10 horror reads from last year if you need more ideas! I’ve categorized these books and linked them to their Goodreads pages to help you sift through. I’ve also included some books that are not scary, but have some spooky season themes, in case you like to stay on brand with the season but also like to sleep at night. You’re welcome.

Here are 10 Spooky Season options for you!

If you know me, you know I LOVE the horror genre. I read a lot of amazing horror stories in 2021 and wanted to highlight some of my favorites. I have been a horror fan forever, and just recently decided to write reviews so that I can connect with other readers and aid in their selection process. I’m busy (like everyone else) and really try to not spend my time on sub-par stories, so I tend to select books that I already know I’m going to love (so my reviews definitely skew positive). I hope these reviews bring some delightful fright and spice to your reading list!
