October is one of my favourite months of the year. It's the prettiest, with all the leaves and candles and the nicest colours, my birthday is in October (next Saturday!) and HALLOWEEN! I love to watch Halloween movies (family ones, I'm not big on actual horror films), decorating my room with pumpkins and leaves and things like that, and going for walks in the woods. One of my other favourite October activities is reading scary books. Here are some of my favourites! Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - Ransom RiggsStarting off with a classic on the YA scene. I've never heard of anyone who didn't love this series. The story is just the right cocktail of creepy and fun, and the vintage pictures give it that extra wow factor. 172 Hours on the Moon - Johan HarstadMy absolute favourite scary book of all time. Three teenagers are sent to the moon for 72 hours to raise some money for more space travel, but once there, the crew suddenly start dying. Even though they should be the only ones on the moon, right? This had me on the edge of my seat, and years later I'm still recommending this book to everyone. One of Us Is Lying - Karen M. McManusThis book isn't exactly scary, but I feel like mystery books fit with the Halloween theme too. One of Us Is Lying is mysterious Who-Dunnit and had me hooked from start to finish. Vanishing Girls - Lauren OliverThis book is also more of a mystery than a thriller, but it did have a spooky setting with an abandoned ride in a theme park that some girl died on once. Yikes. To make it worse, the girl's father still shows up to stare at it every now and again and it's said that the girl haunts the ride. PERSEFoNE - Michelle GagnonThis series isn't too well known, but I feel like it deserves more recognition. A girl wakes up in a makeshift hospital with a mysterious scar. She escapes, and is set on finding out what's going on. This series is so creepy and a bit scifi-ish. Those are some of my favourite scary books. What are yours? Let me know!
