Show notes:

Spooky season is almost upon us and we want to prepare you with a list of reads that will get you in that fall and Halloween kind of vibe. We’ve got everything from magical realism to mystery thrillers to outright terrifying horror stories to share with you today. If you need to read these books under the covers at noon with all the lights on inside, we won’t judge. We also share our thoughts on seasonal reading. Stay spooky, friends!
