As a follow up to my recent spooky season recommendation list, I’ve put together a second edition that features five supremely spine-chilling YA titles perfect for reading anytime of year, but especially in October.

Five YA Spooky Season Recommendations:

• Our Crooked Hearts by Melissa Albert: A compelling, eerie, and lushly written contemporary fantasy surrounding lies, secrets, magic, history, and memory.

• Horrid by Katrino Leno: A dark and sinister tale involving mysterious, long-buried histories; disturbing tendencies; bizarre backyard rose bushes; a rundown house; and a locked room.

• The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones: An atmospheric, page-turning tale of a 17-year-old gravedigger, a remote mountain village, an ancient curse, vicious risen dead, an apprentice mapmaker, and a deadly journey.

• Scream All Night by Derek Milman: A darkly hilarious, hugely creative story that follows a teen forced to face his personal demons as he unwillingly returns to his father’s iconic castle/film studio, an infamous place renowned for its B-horror, cult creature features.

• Gallant by V.E. Schwab: A moody, masterful, macabre, binge-worthy work of art that’s deliciously dark and disturbing, beautiful and all-consuming, utterly transportive and unforgettable.

What chilling YA titles would you recommend?
