Halloween Horror Week – Manic Monday!
It's Halloween week!!! Our love of black cats, mystery/thriller/horror stories and candy has combined to our great delight. To celebrate, we'll be sharing our favorite spooky things with you all week long.
Today, we've got three titles on Booklist's Top 10 Horror Fiction of 2013 list:

Happy Halloween, oh stewards of spook!

We approve.
We added a few scream-soaked reads to the top of this post. And feel free to browse our Horror fiction list for more ideas.
Wishing you much candy and only the friendliest of ghosts,
