I love creepy books! My favourite settings are either really normal ones or really spooky ones. For example, I just read One of Us Is Lying, of which the setting was just a normal town with a normal school. This makes the story creepier, as it makes you feel like this could happen to you! You live in a town like this and go to a school like this too! Another book in a normal setting is Vanishing Girls, by Lauren Oliver, which is also set in a normal town. However it also has a setting that's more of the second type, which is a theme park with a creepy abandoned ride that someone died on years ago. Nothing better than a good old haunting. My second favourite type of creepy setting is the one that is set up to be creepy. These are usually kind of paranormal, like with ghosts in a haunted asylum or, like in The Drowning of Arthur Braxton, dead people in an abandoned bath house. Vanishing Girls doesn't have any real paranormal things, but it gives the illusion it does, just by speaking of the haunting and making the ride seem scary. The TV show American Horror Story is the true Queen of creepy settings like these! Those are my favourite types of creepy settings! What are yours? Let me know!
