The Halloween horror movie season is upon us, and the theaters are filled with options. But serious book people can tell you: For a really terrifying experience, nothing beats a good horror novel.
In honor of the Halloween season, we've assembled below a collection of the 78 most popular horror novels of the past five years, according to Goodreads regulars. The titles are selected and sequenced by tracking user ratings and reviews, and noting which books end up on Goodreaders' personal digital shelves. Also, each title that appears here has a 3.5-star rating or better.
