Top Ten Tuesday: Best Horror Books I've Read Since This Time Last Year

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.  This week's topic is a Halloween Freebie, so I'm featuring ten of the best horror books I've read since this time last year.  Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order by title:

Blackout (Newsflesh #3) by Mira Grant

Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle

Craven Manor by Darcy Coates

Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman

The September House by Carissa Orlando

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White

This Wretched Valley by Jenny Kiefer

To the Bone by Alena Bruzas

Tombs by Junji Ito

We Shall Be Monsters (We Shall Be Monsters #1) by Tara Sim

  1. Some of these look a bit too creepy for me to read at night!

  7. I tend to stay away from horror books. The closest I've gotten is Wild of Empire by Cherie Dimaline.

  8. Great list!

    I've read several of these and Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle is the craziest horror story I've read.

  9. I think we have very different tastes in books haha, I've read 4 of these and the only one I liked is This Wretched Valley. I found the others to be too slow. I'm not a huge slow burner reader, I get bored lol.
    I hope you have a spooky week and a Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻

  11. I'm always tempted by Darcy Coates' books, but I've never actually read one. I only like Horror Lite (spooky, but not terrifying) so I don't know if hers would be too much for me or not...

    Happy TTT and Happy Halloween!
