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
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
We Shall Be Monsters (We Shall Be Monsters #1) by Tara Sim
Have you read any of these books? What are your recent favorite horror stories? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Some of these look a bit too creepy for me to read at night!

Wow, these sound good! I will have to check a few of the books out.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a list! You know how I feel about The September House, and I loved Incidents Around the House as well:-)
ReplyDeleteThese all look wonderfully scary!
ReplyDeleteI love The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by AJW! Here is my post https://paigesofnovels.wordpress.com/2025/10/28/top-seven-ten-tuesday-halloween-costumes/
ReplyDeleteNice. Here is my TTT.https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2025/10/28/top-ten-tuesday-7/
ReplyDeleteI tend to stay away from horror books. The closest I've gotten is Wild of Empire by Cherie Dimaline.

Great list!
ReplyDeleteI've read several of these and Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle is the craziest horror story I've read.
Nice List!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a spooky week and a Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻

These definitely seem creepy! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'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...
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT and Happy Halloween!
