Halloween Horror

October has arrived. Yes, October, the month of rain and colored leaves; a time when little children prepare costumes and count down the days until the night of sugary ecstasy, and the time of year I wander the aisles in my favorite little bookstore looking for anything that will scare me silly. After all, it wouldn't be October without true Halloween horror.

Dracula by Bram Stoker
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe
Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury
I Am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells
Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Find something good to read, but beware, the ghosts and ghouls may not just be in your head. Happy Halloween.
