4 Chilling Novels to Read Just in Time for Halloween
Sure, scary movies are great. But let us ask you this: how often do you pick up a disturbing book? A good horror movie is definitely an effective way to creep yourself out, although a great, scary book leaves your mind wide-open for terrifying imagination to take hold and tends to get a little deeper under your skin. Whether you’re into good old fashioned ghost stories, true crime, murder mysteries, or straight up terror, this is the perfect list for you if you’re looking for the perfect Halloween novel.
- Hell House, by Richard Matheson. Known for his other thrilling novel, I am Legend, Matheson definitely has a way of coming up with unsettling concepts. In the book, a team of investigative experts seek proof of life after death by studying…the most haunted house in history, of course.
- Night Film, by Marisha Pessl. This book tells a unique story about a writer who is looking into the death of a cult-filmmaker’s daughter. As you read, you will descend further and further into the madness of the world of cult filmmaking and of the disturbing films themselves.
- The Silence, by Tim Lebbon. Even to whisper, is to summon death in this gripping tale of blood thirsty underground creatures who hunt by sound. This book inspired one of the most recent terrifying movies, A Quiet Place, so settle in and enjoy the ride. We guarantee you won’t be able to turn the page quietly enough.
- A Head Full of Ghosts, by Paul Tremblay. This novel will have your head spinning about science and religion, and the truth about the nature of evil. Considered a modern-day Exorcism tale, this book has some of the scariest scenes you’ll ever read.
