10 books to read this Halloween—from haunted houses to paranormal romcom | Books | Entertainment
Reading is a great hobby all year-round, but for many people there’s no better time to curl up with a good book than in autumn. Darker nights and chillier temperatures lend themselves to cosy evenings spent on the sofa reading, preferably with a blanket on and plenty of candles lit.
And while any book will do, October is the ideal time of year to dive into some spookier reads. Whether you’re a longtime horror fan, new to the genre, or someone who prefers a cosier take on the supernatural, this list of reading recommendations has something for everyone.
