The Haunting of Aveline Jones <\/em>by Phil Hickes<\/h4>\n

This spooky middle grade mystery sounds perfect for Halloween. Aveline Jones loves reading ghost stories, so a dreary half-term becomes much more exciting when she discovers a spooky old book. Not only are the stories spine-tingling, but it once belonged to Primrose Penberthy, who vanished mysteriously, never to be seen again. Intrigued, Aveline decides to investigate Primrose\u2019s disappearance. Now someone\u2026 or something, is stirring. And it is looking for Aveline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall <\/em>by Anne Bront\u00eb<\/h4>\n

I haven\u2019t read a classic in years<\/em>, so maybe it\u2019s time to settle down in en empty Elizabethan mansion? When a mysterious and beautiful young widow becomes the new tenant at Wildfell Hall, rumours immediately begin to swirl around her. Almost against his will, Gilbert Markham is drawn to the elusive and singular Helen Graham, but even as he falls in love, he finds himself divided from Helen by dark secrets and painful memories from her past life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dread Nation<\/em> by Justina Ireland<\/h4>\n

I used to love zombie novels, and October is the perfect time to read them. Jane McKeene was born two days before the dead began to walk the battlefields of Gettysburg and Chancellorsville\u2014derailing the War Between the States and changing America forever. In this new nation, safety for all depends on the work of a few, and laws like the Native and Negro Reeducation Act require certain children attend combat schools to learn to put down the dead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This chilling gothic thriller is a beautifully autumnal book to curl up with. Lauren and her father Niall live alone in the Highlands, in a small village surrounded by pine forest. When a woman stumbles out onto the road one Halloween night, Niall drives her back to their house in his pickup. In the morning, she\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Harrow Lake<\/em> by Kat Ellis<\/h4>\n

I rarely watch horror films these days (too scary!), even though I loved them as a child. but I\u2019d like to give more horror stories a shot. Harrow Lake<\/em> is a can\u2019t-put-down, creepy thriller about the daughter of a horror film director who\u2019s not afraid of anything\u2013until she gets to Harrow Lake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Eight Detectives<\/em> by Alex Pavesi<\/h4>\n

This autumn, I\u2019d love to curl up with some cosy crime, and Eight Detectives<\/em> is high up on the list. All murder mysteries follow a simple set of rules. Grant McAllister, an author of crime fiction and professor of mathematics, once sat down and worked them all out. Now he\u2019s living a life of seclusion on a quiet Mediterranean island \u2013 until Julia Hart, a sharp, ambitious editor, knocks on his door. Julia realises she\u2019s unwittingly entered a battle of wits where there can only be one winner. But Grant will soon realise that he underestimates her at his peril\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ll be treating myself to the third book in the Nevermoor series as soon as it\u2019s out in October! I\u2019m re-reading the first two books in preparation. With Nevermoor<\/em> in a state of fear, the city Morrigan loves becomes the most perilous place in the world.
