Happy #spookyszn, my ghouls! Now that the leaves are falling and the air is crisp, I’m bunkering down with a good book and a giant mug of tea. I’m so ready for all the socially-distanced Halloween fun; this year, I’m dressing up as Maverick from Top Gun, complete with a green jumpsuit and aviator sunglasses. If you’re in the mood for a little haunting, these books are serving all the Halloween vibes and might make it tough to fall asleep tonight. Here are nine spooky books to read this fall.
