🦇 Things That Go Bump In the Night

 

 

We all like to be scared now and again, and October is the perfect time to start reading scary stories! Start off with the classics in The Essential Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, slipping into the terrifying world of the Fall of the House of Usher and the creepy The Tell-Tale Heart. If classics are your thing, pick up Frankenstein or Dracula to entertain you during the first weeks of Fall. In Weird Women, Volume 2, discover an anthology of horror stories written by early female authors, from authors such as George Eliot and Edith Wharton.

    If you prefer contemporary works, check out The Super Natural: a new vision of the unexplained, which makes an argument for the reality of the paranormal. A haunting gothic novel, The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates will keep you enthralled, or delve into the peculiar world of Ransom Riggs' Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children with Library of Souls, book three of the series. 

    Gothic, horror, thriller--stories to make us quake can give us a new perspective. We hope you enjoy reading some spooky tales this month!
