“Autum” by David Moody is pretty creepy. It has frequent use of the “f” word, it you aren’t opposed to that, you should give it a try.
The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury is one of my all time favorites for Halloween.

I love the HBO series True Blood, but I haven’t read the books. I’m almost afraid to read them because I know they’re different from the show and I love it. Do you watch the show too?
Thanks for a great giveaway!
A spooky read would have to be . . . The Shining. Okay, anything Stephen King. But I’m definitely never seeing the movie version of this one.

Any of the Harry Potter books, but the first one comes to mind particularly. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve been reading a lot of romance lately and nothing comes to mind that was scary. So I need to think back to my highschool days when I was in to scary books. Were talking over 10 years here.
I would have to say IT, Pet Cemetery, Christine, Carrie and Cujo. Anything by Stephen King. I love Dean Koontz, but his books never gave me the creeps like Stephen King did, I’d say he is the master of CREEP

Hey, Sarah: I did them all. I brought home The Replacement this weekend, but I got distracted by the arrival of Veronica’s Divergent. I am excited for somebody to see Nevermore, by a local (Louisville) author.

Musings of a Reader Happy
Stephen King is the master of creepy, second only to Poe. “The Black Cat” is probably the best Halloween read. I haven’t read it in a while, but I remember being pretty creeped out by Piers Anthony’s Firefly.
I like Edgar Allen Poe for a spooky read, especially The Telltale Heart
Anything by Maggie Stiefvater is good – really loved Shiver.
