Can anyone recommend horror books to read? I already have Night Watcher by Daphne Woolsoncraft on my list. I am really looking for books with a fall/autumnal vibe, or take place during Halloween, or set in the pacific northwest! Any suggestions are welcome!

The Sleep Experiment by Jeremey BatesOne of the scariest books I’ve read to date😱

Horseman: A Tale of Sleepy Hollow

I am trying to remember the name of another scary book that is set during Halloween.... It was about an autumn walk outside and all creepy stuff was going on.
Well I managed to remember the title! It's a two book series:Ghost Walk
Brian Keene
This is book #2
Dark Hollow
Brian Keene
This is book #1
I'm reading Victor Lavalle's "The Devil in Silver."I want to read a collection of Edith Wharton's ghost stories called "Ghosts."
Since it's October, I want to read some Edgar Allan Poe.
Some HP Lovecraft stories have scared the heck out of me; I recommend his stories as scary ones.
Reading "Night Games" by Richard Laymon
The Troop by Nick Cutter takes place on an island off PEI. Horrifyingly graphic descriptions. More realistic if you’re into that
Play Nice by Rachel Harrison was really good. Hazelthorn by CG Drews was creepy.
I read 'Monstrilio' by Gerardo Sámano Córdova this past spring and I honestly can't recommend it enough. I wouldn't say it's too scary (is it filled with murder and body gore? why yes) but it's a great read with likeable but complex characters.
Anything STEPHEN KING but best one for me is Salems Lot. Happy reading
Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak. No Exit by Taylor Adams.
The Sundown Motel by Simone St. James (or anything by her).
Tender is Flesh.
Anything by Stephen King.
Some of my recent favorites:
When the Wolf Comes Home
Takes place in LA
Gray After Dark
This takes place in Frank Church Wilderness, ID
Survive the Night by Riley Sager not your typical Halloween read. I thought it had a good creepy vibe.
William, The Haunting Of Hill House, The Bad Seed , Incidents Around The House and My Darling Girl.
I am currently reading Summer of Night
by Dan Simmons and this book is actually very creepy!! And it's long too! It deals with a supernatural menace that is taking over a small rural town in Illinois. Some gory stuff too. I am very caught up in the plot. This is way better than reading The Exorcist
