Finding a spooky autumn book to read can be a real challenge. Do you go for dark academia or gothic haunting? Blood-curdling horror or a thriller that will chill you to the bone? A release from a new-to-you author or a book from one of the masters of horror? Any of these can make for great atmospheric books for your fall TBR, but there are only so many reading hours in a day…and those days are getting shorter by the minute. Obviously, you shouldn’t feel the need to wait until fall rolls around to read the best horror novels of the year.
