Trick or Treat…
Tell us your favorite Halloween read – and tell us if it’s a trick or a treat.
Readers, writers, countrymen – everyone join in – write in the comments section below what your favorite spooky read is and why. (Please have some self-control, authors – and don’t post your own books.)
We will convert your link to a clickable book cover. Do not attempt to insert an image in comments on your own. Just put the following information in the comment section:
1. Book title
2. Author name
3. A one sentence blurb as to why it’s your favorite (not a Faulkner sentence, either. Be reasonable.)
4. ONE link to download the book (only secure retail sites – Amazon, Smashwords, B&N, Kobo, Apple/iStore, or Sony)
Then tell your friends and fans to come and let us know what their favorite read is, too. Use the share buttons below, or copy the link in the address bar above and share the news on your favorite social media platforms. The more, the merrier, right?
Remember: IU is a safe-for-work site. PLEASE do not post links to erotica, religious, or political titles.
Here’s mine:
Gotta go with a classic. 🙂 My favorite short story of Poe’s is “The Masque of the Red Death.”
Ah! My favorite Poe is “The Cask of Amontillado.”
Mine too! Love that story.
That’s a good one, too. “For the love of God, Montresor!” 🙂
Loved this also.
My favorite creepy read (other than Creepier by the Dozen *ahem*)
The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Ghosts
Noel Hynd
Scary tale about ghosts with a surprising twist at the end.
I have a bunch of them today. Happy Halloween!

I would have to go with Dracula. “Listen to them, children of the night – what music they make!”
Another of my favorites. 🙂
I loved to terrify myself with this too when I was a teen.
OK, this isn’t a book, but it’s got some cute skeleton de muertos videos and TWO Halloween stories, one creepy and one funny.

Okay I don’t do Halloween, and I don’t normally read creepy type stuff, but two creepy stories I can’t get out of my head are The Turn of the Screw, by Henry James, and POED, by Candy Korman.
In my teens I couldn’t see past Dennis Wheatley, and when I was a young soldier, injured and in hospital, unable to sleep I used to terrify myself with ‘The Haunting of Toby Jugg’ by Dennis Wheatley.
