Top Ten Scary Covers/Halloween Reads
This week is all about Halloween. Which is a totally great holiday! We actually have our choice of best books to read for Halloween or the scariest covers, and I thought it would be fun to split it in half. So, I don’t pay much attention to book covers these days, and while there aren’t any that I find particularly scary, there are quite a few that I find really creepy! And there are so many good books to read that are really creepy or just really good to read this time of year.
The Books:
- Pretty much anything by Stephen King. He writes some great stuff that’s perfect to get into the Halloween spirit. If I had to pick, I think I’d go with It, because it’s super-creepy!
- The Storycatcher by Ann Hite. The Storycatcher has a very creepy/gothic vibe that’s perfect for Halloween.
- Variant by Robison Wells. This is a great Halloween read because there’s something creepy about Maxfield Academy and the lack of adults and the mysterious powers that be that are controlling things.
- This Is Not A Test by Courtney Summers. Another zombie apocalypse novel, and the creepiness is that the zombies are hovering in the background, and you’re never sure when they’re going to pop up.
- Harry Potter. I have no idea why, but this is my favorite time of year to re-read the series.
The Covers:
Reading Books With Coffee 
Ashes and Ten both make it onto my list! That cover of Ashes is just the creepiest thing ever, so disturbing! Great choices 🙂

The cover of Ashes is definitely creepy! I haven’t read Ten yet, but it seems like a good fit for Halloween.
I agree, this time of year is perfect for re-reading Harry Potter, I’m currently at The Chamber of Secrets. I’m also currently reading Joyland by Stephen King and I’m 50% in, but nothing scary is happening yet. I’m not that easily scared, so I’m looking for a book that would freak me out 🙂 I’m adding This is Not a Test to my TBR list, thanks! And thanks for stopping by my Top Ten Tuesday 🙂
I’ve been wanting to read Joyland, but Stephen King’s more recent stuff doesn’t have the creep factor that his earlier stuff does. This Is Not A Test is definitely one of my favorite takes on the zombie apocalypse.
