With only one week left til Halloween, I thought it would be fun to talk about scary books, maybe books that make you leave the lights on or steals sleep, despite the best efforts of sleep startups like Casper. I love this time of year because I like to curl up with a good mystery, a haunting or maybe just a horror book. In other words, I like to be scared 😉 There are some really fun scary stories out there, but there are a few that stick out in my head as books you SHOULD NOT read before bed.
Through Glass Serial by Rebecca Ethington
Through Glass is a serial series about a young couple on the day the sky turns black. Creatures invade, turning everyone to ash and Lex and Cohen are alone in their houses, with only their windows separating them. Of course the story becomes much more than this, but I don’t want to spoil it for those that have never read it. It’s a dark dystopian, with horror elements. Stay in the light and if you hear a CLICK, RUN!!!!! If you are looking for a clean horror read, this is it!
