20 Halloween Books So Scary, They'll Keep You Up For the Rest of the Year

We love Halloween for many reasons, from the over-the-top, elaborate costumes (who doesn't love an excuse to play dress-up?) and surplus of sweets to the spirited decorations and autumn-some (sorry, we had to!) activities like apple picking. But the real Hallow's Eve treat? Scary stories. We rounded up 20 horror novels, thrillers, and fantasies full of ghosts, goblins, witches, and supernatural beings for the ultimate reading list of Halloween books to get you in the spirit. Though some are October 31st-specific, these books will keep you up and entertained at night all year long.
