If you’re in the mood for all things eerie, consider looking beyond Halloween costumes and horror movie marathons in favor of picking up one of these recent book releases. Looking for a sinister thriller? A witchy romance? Whatever your preferences, this year’s spookiest new reads are sure to have you covered.
