Oh, it’s that time of year again – the spooky season, my favourite season!!!!
The Halloween season is the perfect time to dive into some thrilling and eerie books that perfectly capture the spirit of pumpkin-spiced coffee and trick-or-treating.
Self-Help Books? Not This Time
As an avid reader, I find great joy doing thorough research on the novels I plan to immerse myself in. If the book doesn’t cover certain aspects of my life, then it’s simply not the right fit for me.
I think it’s really important to capture the true spirit of the current seasons or special moments in your life within pages of a book.
You don’t have to stick to boring self-help books to learn something.
Combine Learning With An Engaging Story
I’m very thankful to have found certain books in my life.
They taught me a lot and were there for me when things got tough.
We should have put Harry Potter on this list too, but today we’re all about Halloween.
My Top 5
‘IT’ by Stephen King
During my high school years, this book was the one that introduced me to reading. It was also my very first Stephen King book.
Since then, I have developed a deep affection for reading and for the works of Stephen King.
This book may be familiar to you, as there are several films based on its story.
It serves as a wonderful resource for those who feel like outsiders and are seeking a boost in confidence.
This book beautifully illustrates the courage and personal development that can emerge from life’s challenges, while also revealing the true nature of friendships.
‘SLEWFOOT’ by Brom
I loved this book so much!
The theme of the book is developing inner strength in the face of difficulty.
It also gave me a lot of motivation to go to work and do better.
Additionally, it teaches you to have faith in yourself, even when others aren’t rooting for your success and happiness.
This book is an excellent reminder of confidence and strength.
‘The Woman In Black’ by Susan Hill
I finished reading this book a few days ago, and now it’s one of my favourites.
The novel is very spooky, yet it thoughtfully explores themes of suffering, grief, and vengeance.
This book offers guidance in navigating your feelings of loss and provides the strength to move forward, even amidst times of difficulty.
‘The Only Good Indians’ by Stephen G. Jones
Oh my goodness, I couldn’t resist picking up this book! It is just exceptional!
You will follow four indigenous men as they are hunted by an unknown entity in this book (I am not going to spoiler, hehe!)
Stephen King enjoyed reading this book as well and described it as “Thrilling, Literate, Scary and Immersive“!
We all know that I love everything that King writes so if he thinks so highly of this book then this is definitely a must-read.
‘The Historian’ by Elizabeth Kostova
A must-read that combines academic studies with gothic horror.
You will find out a lot about libraries, old books, and historical facts.
Of course, all of this is horror-themed (super, super spooky!) and simply perfect for the fall season and Halloween 2024.
This book truly inspires a desire to engage in studying and reading; you will definitely not regret choosing this one!
