I love Halloween and I love scary books. I guess the book that scared me the most and the one that I will never forget was Salem’s Lot Stephen King. Scary!!!
Thanks!
I love Halloween!! My favourite spooky read would have to be Salem’s Lot.
Awesome giveway for this spoooky time of year! My favorite spooky book would be “Stiff: The Curious Life of Humun Cadavers.” It was one of those books that I thought I would have no interest in but found oddly fascinating!

It’s not a Halloween book but my favourite spooky book at the moment is A Circle of Souls by Preetham Grandhi. It scared me!
Haunted Heartland is my favorite spooky book!
One of the 1st books to spook me years ago was IT by Stephen King!
(and funny you said that about The Hertic’s Daughter because I really want to read it so bad, lol.)
Thanks!
Mel
There are so many to choose from! A few that come immediately to mind are The Devil You Know by Mike Carey, The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, The Strain by Guillermo del Toro, Sunglasses After Dark by Nancy Collins, and a collection of short stories about female vampires called Women of the Night that includes stories by Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, and others. If I had to narrow it down though, I guess the spooky tales I’m most passionate about at the present moment are the Locke & Key graphic novels by Joe Hill.

One of the scariest books in my mind is The Pit and The Pendulum. I see that blade swinging over the chest of the victim and as it lowers, my heart starts to race faster and faster.
What an awesome giveaway. Please enter me. Thanks.
Oh yes, Poe was a horror master!

Although this may not be so much “spooky,” I must say that Margaret Atwood’s “A Handmaid’s Tale,” was indeed the most chilling version of the future I’ve ever read.

One of my favorite scary books is Jeffery Deaver’s The Bone Collector. The movie was creepy too!
.-= Melissa- Shhh I’m Reading´s last blog ..Booking Through Thursday…One Question =-.
I remember reading a book that scared me for years when I was a teen It was called Incubus but I don’t remember the author

I am recently retired and have just discovered how great books are again.
So I really don’t have a favourite book right now, however, when the
purolator brings me these awesome books I will certainly let you know.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway, I would really like to win, mysteries
are my favourite books.
I have just finished reading Still Life by Joy Fielding and it will scare you
for sure.
I really enjoy It by Stephen King
There are many scary books which I have loved… or hated while reading them (because they scared the poop out of me), but still kept reading… ‘The Exorcist’ by William Peter Blatty is one of the scariest books I’ve EVER read. Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories too have frightened me. Please accept this as my entry. Thank you!

My favorite spooky book is Salem’s Lot by Stephen King.
This looks like a great set of books. Thanks for the chance.

My favorite spooky book is “The Red Scream” by Mary Willis Walker. I listened to the audio book version, and I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck raise up as I listened. Definitely one to read during the daytime!
.-= Lisa A.´s last blog ..The beauty and hardship of Yellowstone (and a giveaway!) =-.
I scary book for me is I love ghost stories of different cities I have visited and the scariest of these types of books is Ghost Stories of Chicago. There is some spooky things going on in that city.
This giveaway looks amazing, please enter me
The Bone Collector by Jeffrey Deaver. I’d like to drop my name in the virtual hat – thanks for the giveaway.
Salem’s lot would be the spookiest that i’ve read.
reneetaylor at sympatico dot ca
Oh my where to start, I have so many but one of my faves has to be a series by Jean Kilogradis – Covenant With the Vampire! Thanks and good luck everyone who enters!
My favorite scary book is Bram Stokers Dracula.
Spine tingly books! Just the ones for me. I love books that send a chill up my spine!
A great Halloween kids book is The Berenstain Bears Go on a Ghost Walk
My favorite scary book is Phantoms by Dean Koontz but Stephen Kings’s book, It, comes in a close second
I recently read “The Boneman’s Daughter’s” by Ted Dekker and it was pretty creepy.
It has been years since I’ve read these books, but when I was younger I would often read any book from the “Scary Stories” series by Alvin Schwartz to satisfy my desire to be thoroughly freaked out. Truly creepy stuff.
I think one of the scariest books I have read is Night Stone by Rick Hautala. I first read it as a teen and have read many scary books since but this one sticks in my mind. The feelings you get of being alone in a place far out in the country with no one there to save you and not knowing what is going to be uncovered gets me everytime! Even more so because this one involves a child- your child.
Please enter me in your contest for the books and I hope everyone who reads this will pick this oldie but goodie up.
I find all Stephen King books scary but especially IT
The Amityville Horror
I would have to say a book I read when I was a teen, and the spookiest thing is I can’t find it anywhere. I’m still on the hunt for it it’s about the devil and a young girl who he entices at the beginning with a red ball.
.-= Mya´s last blog ..Black Lodge Singers – Crow Hop =-.
I’m going to go with “House” by Dekker and Peretti…
I think my favorite scary book is HOUSE by Ted Dekker!
Thanks for enetering me!
My favorite spooky book would certainly be “The Oath” by Frank Peretti. It’s just great!
All the Halloweens with my children were memorable. One wanted to stay out for hours collecting loot. The other was satisfied with no more than an hour out. I also can’t wait to read The Heretics Daughter.
Halloween=Stephen King! One of my favorite spooky books is Gerald’s Game. Thanks for this awesome giveaway.
I love The Shining by Stephen King!

I just finished re-reading “Smoke and Mirrors” by Neil Gaiman. It’s a book of his short stories, and some of them are downright creepy. Also, Stephen King’s “Night Shift”, another book of short stories. Also very scary!! (especially the title story!).
