With fall in full swing and spooky season coming to a close, here are some book
recommendations to wrap up the season of the witch.
WUTHERING HEIGHTS: A classic of English literature, this gothic novel infused with
romanticism is a perfect fall read. It features a tragic love story backdropped by the West
Yorkshire moors that instills the perfect autumn vibes.
DRACULA: The most famous vampire novel in the English canon certainly lives up to its fame.
The gothic atmosphere and epistolary, first-person narrative (a rare feature in 19th century
literature) will provide the creepiest read of your season.
THE TURN OF THE SCREW: An au pair begins to question her sanity when she is plagued by
ghostly visions while looking after her eerie wards. A classic haunted house story with a twist,
this short novel is perfect for curling up by a fire on a stormy night.
JANE EYRE: While not often considered a particularly Halloween-themed read, this classic
novel gives all the spooky vibes needed for an enjoyable fall choice. Following a woman as she
traverses the many stages of her life, this book is a great choice for those looking for a classic
pick this autumn.
THE EXORCIST: This is the inspiration for one of the scariest movies of all time, and the novel
may be even more frightening. Beautifully written and perfectly plotted, this classic of horror
literature is a must-read this Halloween.
