Look, there are a lot of lists labeled Halloween reads that have plenty of spooky books. Zombies, ghosts, vampires, you name it. But that's not what you're looking for, right? I mean, so many great horrors don't even take place in autumn, like Frankenstein and Dracula. You want something different; you want books that actually take place in October, where Halloween features heavily.
Well, look no further. Here's a list of books for you and books for your kids, all about the spookiest time of year. To qualify for the list, none of the books are part of a non-Halloween series (unless they're the first, or part of an anthology series), and there at least has to be a pumpkin.
Enjoy!
