I saw the headline on the Book Riot website, and wondered if The Haunting of Hill House – which I reviewed last week – was included. It was. Fifth on the list. The list also included a sprinkling of the usual suspects, such as Stephen King’s Pet Cemetery, as well as some other scary (though not in the Halloween sense) titles. 1984 by George Orwell and Night by Elie Wiesel, for example, were in the top five, along with The Haunting.
It’s worth it to peruse the list. You’ll find not just scary books you’ve never heard of, but books about such things as Chernobyl, the Ebola virus, and the forgotten massacre of hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians in WWII. Click here to take a look.Browse by Category
