Spooktacular Reads: Which books do you consider festive Halloween reads? Which stories have chilled you to the bone?

Well I believe any books with creatures in it would be great reads around Halloween. My favorites are.....

Vampires

Werewolves

Zombies

Ghosts

and....

Witches

I haven't started my Halloween read yet, but for this Halloween I picked......

~ Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

I love this cover, and it sounds like the perfect read for Halloween night!

Some of the best books and authors that chilled me to the bone and still do are........

~ The Cell and Stephen King

This book was creepy, but good and makes me scared to own a cell phone.

by Bentley Little

This man writes some crazy creepy books. These have been the only books that have kept me up at night and gave me nightmares.
