In between Halloween parties this weekend, curl up with one of these spooky tales!
Prom Nights from Hell
Carrie-esque horror stories from all your favorite authors- including Meg Cabot, Lauren Myracle, and Stephenie Meyer!
The Body of Christopher Creed by Carol Plum-Ucci
Chris Creed was the most obnoxious, hated person in school- until the day he disappeared, leaving only a cryptic note on one of the school library computers. Runaway? Suicide? Or murder? The suspense only builds as Torey and his friends try to find the body of Christopher Creed.
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Also in graphic novel format and soon to be a movie in February 2009, this book is hands-down the creepiest thing I have ever held in my hands. This is the story of a girl who walks through a strange door in her new house and finds a mirror-world eerily similar to her own and must fight her 'other' mother (the creepiness of whom I cannot sum up) for her eyes and her own and her real parents' souls.
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
Gemma Doyle is sent away by her father and brother to a British boarding chool after witnessing the murder of her mother by a terrifying black shadow in this Victorian gothic. The discovery of a mysterious diary, Gemma's spooky visions of the supernatural, and a shadowy group called the Order make this first in a trilogy one to curl your toes and tingle your spine!
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Gaiman spooks again in the story of Nobody Owens, a boy who, after witnessing the murder of his parents, escapes to hide in the graveyard, where he is found and raised by the resident ghosts & ghouls. When his parents' murderer returns in search of him, Bod must decide if he wants to stay in the world of the dead or join the living.
Blood and Chocolate by Anette Curtis Klause
What Halloween list would be complete without a werewolf book? When werewolf Vivian falls for human Aiden, she can't decide if she should follow pack rule and keep him in the dark or risk letting him into her world. Throw in the mystery of the fire that killed her father a year age and the almost-out-of-control Five (the werewolf boys), and you've got a fabulous Halloween read!
Happy Halloween!
