Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish. This week’s post is:
Halloween Freebie! (Happy Halloween! Let your creativity run wild with a themed post to celebrate!)
Scary movies may have always been a hit and miss with me but reading scary stories has always been a definite hit for me. I like reading a spooky ghost story, without having to see blood and guts splashed over a TV/Movie screen. And a ghost story, just like any book, can provide a powerful impact way better than any slasher flick. So if you are looking for something to scare you out of your wits this Halloween, why not try these books out:
- The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins – Full of mystery and suspense…exactly what you need for Halloween. You can read my full review here.
- And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie – Find out why this is the bestselling mystery of all time! You can read my review of it here.
- The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe
- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson – I’m reading this book and the suspense is killing me! I can’t get enough of this book.
- The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
- The Dream Woman by Wilkie Collins
- The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
- Lot No. 249 by Arthur Conan Doyle
- The Grownup by Gillian Flynn – I got chills when I finished reading this. You can read my full review here.
- Anything by Libba Bray – Most of her series consist all of the supernatural elements that will keep you entertain this Halloween. You can read my review of one of her books, The Diviners, here.
Discover more from cup of tea with that book, please

I haven’t read any of these, but I am intrigued by The Grown Up!
It is really good!
Some of these covers look really scary! I haven’t read any of these, as I don’t read many spooky books 😛 Great list though! And Then There Were None is on my TBR for so long now :p

Oh there are a few good ones on here! Definitely love all the classics and might even give them a go. But I’m so extremely easily freaked out that picking up scary books is a bit…well…scary xD
I love this list! Your first five books are some of my favorite creepy reads. Happy reading!
