The Orange Eats Creeps
The Orange Eats Creeps is that magnificent kind of spooky book that takes an archetypal story and monster and turns it on its head to make something new and even scarier
Halloween
Chilling stories for the spooky season.
Horror Stories Double Feature
It’s a double feature! Make Sure You’re Around After You’ve Gone, which is a collection of ghost stories, and Through the Night Like a Snake, which is a collection of horror stories specifically from Latin America.
Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead

Unusual Fragments
I’m including Unusual Fragments as a spooky selection because all of these stories share some aspect of the unusual and arguably supernatural — or at least just plain eerily weird.
The Infamous Gilberts
I love a haunted house story, and though this isn’t a novel about actual ghosts (for the most part), it is a story about how human lives haunt the places they played out in.

My Men
My Men follows the life of Brynhild Storset who emigrates form Norway to the United States and eventually becomes Belle Gunness, arguably the first serial killer in American history.
Paradise Rot

The Invention of Morel
This novella’s setting of an opulent but derelict and rotting mansion infected with the suggestion of long-ago deaths and violence ticked all of the spooky season boxes for me.
