Things That Go Bump in the Night👻

 

As Fall comes upon us, we look towards darker, longer nights and cooler days--our minds bending towards the supernatural and those things that creep in the darkness. We watch scary movies, or classics from our childhoods, remembering the time when we stayed out with friends to collect as much candy as possible in our bags and counted each piece before consuming as much as possible! This October, take some time to read The Book of Magic: from antiquity to enlightenment or Magic: from alchemy to witchcraft, from the ice age to the present. These nonfiction books join Haunted: on ghosts, witches, vampires, zombies, and other monsters of the natural and supernatural worlds and The Science of Monsters: the origins of the creatures we love to fear. 

If your in the mood for a chilling fictional read, try Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or Bram Stoker's Dracula! Other novels on our shelves are books by Stephen King, such as his book of stories The Bazaar of Bad Dreams and his nom de plume thriller Thinner, published under the name Richard Bachman. From Silvia Moreno-Garcia's contemporary novel Mexican Gothic to Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, our shelves are littered with spine-chilling goodness!
