  3. I don’t have a current one but when I was a kid I loved an anthology – STRANGELY ENOUGH. I have searched and searched for it over the years but have never found it. It was a fantastic collection of all the ghost/horror/scary stories kids over 30 yrs grew up hearing.

  4. I really like Mary Higgins Clark…does that count as spooky or scary? Some of them are pretty scary. I don’t have a favorite of hers, I like them all.

  7. My favorite spooky book is Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke 🙂

  10. I think the spookiest books I read now are the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs. In my younger days, I enjoyed all the spooky books by Christopher Pike and R.L. Stine (pre-Goosebumps!).

  11. I would love a copy of any book that deals with historical fantasy like Fiona Ingram’s The Search for the Sacred Scarab or Carrie Ryan’s Foretold or Breathe Annie Breathe if it is $10.00 or less. Otherwise any book would be lovely like Of Triton etcetera. Thank you for the giveaway, good luck everyone!! 🙂

  12. I’m a die-hard fan of Shirley Jackson’s “The Haunting of Hill House”, which has been made twice into a movie by the name “The Haunting”. Don’t bother with the remake. The original, though is amazing and I remember staying up late watching it with my sister and brother when I was young.

  18. I love quite a few spooky books but Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is a favorite!

  19. I don’t watch truly scary movies… my husband points this out all the time. This time of year I like to watch Brother’s Grimm, Hocus Pocus, the old black and white monster movies, the list goes on.

  20. Oooh, I LOVE spooky reads. My favorites include the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Halifax’s Ghost Stories, and a more recent read Haunting Violet was cute AND spooky.

    Let’s hop! Hop on over to my Spooktacular Giveaway at From the Shadows.

  27. The first book that ever really scared me was The Shining so I think it remains my favorite for nostalgia reasons lol

  28. I read The Shining by Stephen King years ago. I can’t think of any recent books but The Shining is the first book that came to my mind.

  30. Donners of the Dead by Karina Halle. It has a bit of a historical background which adds to the horror, and it was amazing!

  31. With this question, there is only one answer that I can give…. Stephen King, of course! Although, I have several other spooky writing authors that I do enjoy. Such as, Gretchen McNeil and Nancy Holder, Kendare Blake!! Thanks for the giveaway!

  33. Favorite spooky book? Geez it’s been so long ago, I used to read them all the time when I was younger but mostly now I read Paranormal Romance (and that’s not really scary). Probably Amityville Horror. I remember being scared from it 🙂

  34. The closest to horror that I get nowadays is Dean Koontz and I’ve read most of his books…can’t think of a favourite amongst them though.

  42. I like a lot of Mary Downing Hahn’s scary books, such as Wait Till Helen Comes and The Old Willis Place. Thanks for the great giveaway! 🙂

  57. I love so many of them, so I don’t know that I could pick just one, but I love any paranormal/spirits book! Anything with ghosts is fine with me, especially if it can give me the willies.

  58. I’m a huge contemporary/romance reader so I only have read a few scary books (that are not so scary anyway). I loved Anna Dressed in Blood <3 Thanks for the chance

  65. Sacry book? Soul ressurected by Keri Lake it at me ill at ease more than once but so well written i still had to keep reading^^

  69. I love classic Stephen King books! Not read any great ones lately but I have read some decent ones. One of which I just reviewed called Hell Town by Emily Ford.

  70. Nothing really comes to mind. I love paranormal, but I haven’t read anything truly scary or spooky in a very long time.

  71. The first thing that comes to my mind when you say ‘spooky books’ is STEPHEN KING 🙂

  80. I don’t read too many scary books but I have read Anna Dressed in Blood. So I’ll choose that.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  81. I had to read The Woman in Black for college and it really creeped me out, I had to have all the lights on when I went to sleep that night.

  89. I’m not that in to scary books. I prefer scary movies over books. But I do remember reading a Lisa Gardner book many years ago that scared the crap out of me. Took away all sense of safety. I swore off all realistic serial killer books at that point.

  96. That honor would have to be bestowed on The Demonata Series by Darren Shan. It is definitely going to keep you up at night (:

  98. Short stories by Stephen King and The replacement by Brenna Yovanoff. Thanks for giveaway 🙂

  106. i know that is not a scary book, but The Fifth Wave was awesome, it gives me chill, they way the author writes its very great, and let me thinking like what would we do if the et’s attack??? we are nothing in this universe, and we think that we are all…

  113. I haven’t read a scary book since I was a kid. I don’t recall a favorite at this moment.

  128. Dead Inside: Do Not Enter: Notes from the Zombie Apocalypse by Adrian Chappell creeped me out

  129. Every Dean Koontz book creeps me out. I actually can’t read them anymore, because I get so worked up! Tommyknockers was the scariest, by far.

  140. I have a few: Whispers by Dean Koontz, Desperation and The Regulators by Stephen King, and Jigsaw Man by Gord Rollo.

  141. For many years I wasn’t very into horror and scary books and films. But then I started to see a few horror classics and my interest grew on the genre. Now I’m trying to expand into books in the genre too.

  143. Scary stories are the best on creepy pasta. I think spooky stories need to be short or it stops being so scary.

  146. My favorite scary book is CreepyPasta. It’s a collection of scary short stories. A friend showed it to me and I book it from Amazon the next day it is that good. 🙂

  149. I don’t really read scary books. I have read Sleepers and that was pretty messed up and scary!

  225. You may not consider it scary, but when I was a kid I was terrified of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was the scene where Grandpa arrives in Vulgaria, I was certain something terrible was going to happen to him!

  226. If I want a good scare from a book I always look for Stephen King’s books! My favorite of all his books thus far is IT! I’m terrified of clowns so this one always gives me a good scare and nightmares lol! However I can’t watch the movie 🙁 last time I tried to watch it I had an anxiety attack lol!

  237. My fave is the Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop…it’s fantastic, dark and disturbing.

  245. Stephen king s books always leave you short of breathe and scared lol. Pet cementary is scary !

  257. I’m not much for scary, as the scariest I’d get is Scooby Doo! Haha. But, I’m always a fan of werewolves, which I figure sort of go into the whole Halloween theme. I love Megan Derr’s Midsummer series. 🙂

  258. My favorite isn’t something traditionally spooky – it’s The Night I Disappeared by Julie Reece Deaver. It’s about this girl who has a friend no one’s met…for good reason. Dying to find more stories like it. That one, I found over 10 years ago, in middle school.

  261. First, thank you so much for being generous enough to host this giveaway, and second I’m totally enthralled by The Witching Hour and also Interview With A Vampire. Those are just classic spooky reads to me. 🙂

  276. I’m going to go a little bit more recent for this one, but I thought that The Diviners by Libba Bray was totally creepy! Thanks for the contest!

  307. Thanks for participating in the blog hop. As for your question, I don’t like horror or scary. I LOVE paranormal, but I’m a romance girl not a scare girl.

  311. I love all of Stephen King’s books. I just love reading any books that’s a good mystery or thriller. I usually hate putting the book down till I finish it.

  316. My favorite scary/spooky book was one that I read as a kid, “In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories” by Alvin Schwartz.

  321. I used to love that Scary Stories to Read in the Dark collection of scary short stories. Definitely spooky but great.
