Gore and More discussion

Here in the Midwest, the leaves are starting to turn and even though the days are still warm, the nights are starting to get a chill in the air. Autumn is beginning to make it's entrance and that puts me in the mood to read certain horror tales with Autumn as the backdrop. This leads me to an interesting question. Do you find that you like to read certain horror stories that have the matching season with what is going on outside your window?

What a cool idea. Off the top of my head I can't think of any stories that clearly set things in the Autumn season, just Christmas.

I can't think of any I read every Fall. Usher's Passing comes to mind as being set in the autumn but I don't think that's right. I think I read it in the autumn and that's where it is stuck for me.

I do enjoy seasonal reading but for me Fall is all about horrors, thrillers and mysteries - no specific book, it just seems to fit the genre

Cool! There should be a Listopia for these if there isn't already.

** Just looked, there are loads of them! Not a specific Horror reads for Autumn list though.
