Come Closer, by Sara Gran

Come Closer

Just days from our high-holy season I'm re-reading this exquisite tale of demonic possession for the third time. I am so in love with this book because it drags me every time through the stages of "oh, this is not good," to "She's gotta tell someone about this," to "I shouldn't be reading this."

I woke up the other night wondering if the voice in my head berating me for some ridiculous mistake was my own voice or something else. Thank you Sara Gran! This book gets me every time. A must-read to get in the mood for Halloween.

Will Storr vs. The Supernatural, by Will Storr

Will Storr vs. The Supernatural: One Man's Search for the Truth About Ghosts

Everything about this book makes my heart sing. I want so desperately to tag along with Will Storr as he wades into the paranormal. The book gave me the chills several times and there are scenes from it that haunt me. This book had a major influence on my own writing. Must-read for pre-Halloween prep.

The Last Days of Jack Sparks, by Jason Arnopp

The Last Days of Jack Sparks

I can't unknow this story. Though I read it months ago I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking of the girl in the church, of Jack's reaction to her and of everything that came after. Always on the hunt for a good demonic possession tale, I was delighted to meet the unlikeable Jack and watch his fall down the rabbit hole.

Sawkill Girls

Sawkill Girls

The craggy island. The frightening secrets. The lonliness and fear. Sawkill Girls is infecting my dreams and giving me a tight feeling in my chest. It's wonderful.
