October has arrived. The night's are getting cooler, and before you know it, Hallowe'en will be here. Why not spend some time this month reading a "scary" book?
The horror genre has really exploded, here @SAM. The year began with several shelves filled with horror books, and now that circulation is in full swing, we are down to just a couple of shelves of books in this section.
Here are some of the books that you should take a look at, that is if you are willing to jump into this genre...
The
Devouring by Simon Holt
This book is creepy. One night a year gives access to these creatures from another dimension. They prey upon our darkest fears, and once they sense prey they come in a push our own selves into a dark corner. They occupy our bodies while we live in a never ending nightmare created from our own darkest fears. This is the first book in a trilogy. Perfect for curling up with as Hallowe'en approaches.
This genre has broached its own borders and crossed over into other genres as well. There are some really fun books to be read in the Science Fiction genre that contain elements often found in the horror genre, too.
I'm thinking of the great series of books that begins with The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan.
Set in a future where humans are constantly battling for survival with their infected brothers and sisters, we enter in a whole new zombie apocalypse. Part horror novel, part sci-fi, post apocalypse novel, this book is an entertaining read.
These are just a two of the many possibilities for you to choose from this Hallowe'en season. Drop by the Library, and discover even more books to thrill, and chill.
