Ten Books/Authors To Get Me Into The Halloween Mood
Halloween is one of my favorite times of year, and I still like dressing up in costume! There are some books and authors I associate with this time of year, and these are my top ten books/authors I associate with Halloween and fall.
- Harry Potter. I swear, Harry Potter is my answer to everything. But I always associate the series with Fall/Winter, and it’s the perfect series to get me into the Halloween mood.
- Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard. I totally admit that I like the t.v. show a lot better than the books (the repetitiveness of the books is what made me stop the series halfway through) but the mystery and craziness of A is something I associate with fall and Halloween.
- Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I recently read this one and it’s really creepy and a good Halloween read.
- Stephen King. If he’s not Halloween, I don’t know who is. Seriously. The man screams Halloween.
- The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. This circus seems very much like a book that will get you in the Halloween mood. I think it’s because it’s a very different circus, and the magic seems very Halloween to me.
- The Dreaming by Queenie Chan. This manga is perfect for Halloween! It’s weird and creepy and this school seems very isolated.
- A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. I’m not completely sure why I associate this series with Halloween, but I think it’s the magic and the Gothic vibe that the series has.
- The Name Of The Star by Maureen Johnson. This series about ghosts and the people who can see them is perfect for this time year.
- Anne Rice. I’ve read a few of her books, and yet she is someone I associate with Halloween.
- Beautiful Creatures/Dangerous Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The secrets and curses and history make me think of Halloween.
Reading Books With Coffee 
Harry Potter is great for every season, but I agree Autumn/Winter, especially Christmas are particularly good times to read it.

Harry Potter definitely works for anytime of year, but I will forever associate the series with autumn/winter.
Me too!
I remember being quite surprised the first time I read a Stephen King novel. I was expecting cheesy horror, but discovered how thoughtful and introspective his novels can be, as well. Truly a master of the genre.
His books are more thoughtful than I think a lot of people would expect, and when I think of horror, he’s the first author I think of.
Hi! I read an Anne Rice book (forget which one). It was too scary for me. haha

Horror isn’t for everyone…especially Anne Rice!
Oh my god I seriously need to read The Night Circus. I’ve heard such great things, and the title just screams amazing. YES.
The Night Circus is amazing! I haven’t listened to the audio book of it, but I’ve heard really good things about the narration. I think it’s narrated by Stephen Fry (but don’t quote me on that), and one of my friends LOVES the audio version of it.
HARR POTTER IS THE BEST NOW I AM DYING IN FEELS THOUGH. *dies cause feels are real* also I looove the Night Circus it is the best book ever. I have also read the crowns game which is basically a ripoff of it so me NOT HAPPY
I read The Crown’s Game too, and I was surprised by how much it reminded me of The Night Circus!
I basically said the EXACT same thing in regards to including Harry Potter on my list this week! =D But it’s so accurate so I feel no shame!
