Scary Staff Favorites from Past Years

For the past several years, we've featured reviews of spooky, creepy, horrific, paranormal and unexplained books, DVDs, CDs, etc. each October on the libraries' Staff Recommendations pages.

Today being Halloween, we thought we'd provide you with some links to go back to some of those reviews. Happy reading, and Happy Halloween!

Horror Booklists

What's your favorite scary story?

It's October -- traditionally one of the best times for reading horror fiction. We've just updated the libraries' If You Like...Stephen King booklist on the BookGuide site. That got us to thinking...as librarians we frequently get to share reviews of some of our favorite horror novels or short story collections.

We want to know -- What are some of YOUR favorite horror novels, ghost stories, or paranormal tales? And why?!

Reply back to this post and if we can get at least 20 suggestions (contemporary or classic), we'll create a BookGuide Booklist with your favorite scary reads!
