Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the Broke and Bookish
Hey guys! It is time for another TTT! This week is it a Halloween freebie! So, I am going to go with top ten scary/creepy books the read around this time for year! Without further ado and in no particular order:
10. The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich – This book had me wide awake in the middle of the night, with all the lights on in the house, on the phone to my husband asking when he is going to be home. To say it creeped me out would be an understatement!
9. The Merciless by Danielle Vega – This book was creepy in the sense that it was gross and had my body tingling all over from what they did to that poor girl. Definitely Halloween material…
8. The Girl with all the Gifts by M. R. Carey – Zombies and Halloween go hand in hand!
7. Unnatural Deeds by Cyn Balog – Ok, so technically this book is being released November 1st… but, it is definitely a creepy read and the ending!!!
6. Only Ever Yours by Louise O’Neill – This is not your traditional Halloween creepy, but I think everyone who has read this book will agree with me that it deserves to be up here!
5. Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke – Three screwed up teens, what could go wrong? A lot… that’s your answer!
4. Ten by Gretchen McNeil – A fast paced, whodunnit…
3. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn – Do I really need to explain this one?!? Let’s go with one word: Amy.
2. Say Her Name by James Dawson – Bloody Mary is tradition on Halloween…
1. Don’t Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout – I really enjoyed this book and I was not expecting the ending!!
That’s it! These are my TT scary/creepy books to read around this time of year!
Have any of you read these? Do you agree? Are there any others I should read? Feel free to drop comments and links and I will check them all out!
These are all great choices! Say Her Name is pretty interesting. I do love a good Bloody Mary story.
I did really enjoy Say Her Name 🙂
Fantastic list Lauren! I really need to get the guts to read The Merciless!
It’s not scary… kinda gross really …
Wink Poppy Midnight should be great from all the reviews I’ve seen on it. I hope it is.
I really enjoyed it, so I hope you do too 🙂
I’ve seen The Merciless on several lists today. I’m really intrigued by it!
My Top Ten
Definitely check it out :-)!
I liked TEN and I love that cover- that’s probably the reason I read it! But it had a nice creepy vibe on the island. And Gone Girl I so want to read for all the twistiness. 🙂
I loved the cover as well!! and you should definitely check it out!! Amy is definitely one psycho villain!
Half your list is on my TBR pile lol. Don’t judge me but I still haven’t read Gone Girl… And I own Merciless and Ten so I really should read them! I saw the trailer for The Girl with all the Gifts recently, it looks amazing, really want to read the book first though.
Great list. Makes me want to pick up the ones I own right now and get stuck in!
Happy (Early) Halloween!

I know quite a few people who haven’t read it yet, so no judgy eyes from me 😂😂 you should definitely read the Ines that you own because these are all great books!!
I really liked The Dead House! And I’ve added Don’t Look Back, and Say Her Name, to my TBR list 🙂
I hope you enjoy them!! 😀
The Bloody Mary legend always scared me. And the cover for Say Her Name definitely give me the chills. Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
I do love the cover for Say Her Name! 🙂
Great list! Dawn Kurtagich is one of my favorites when it comes to YA horror. I just finished The Dead House and her newest The Trees Crept In – so creepy!
I can’t wait to get my hands on And the Trees Crept in!!
Great picks for this week Lauren. I haven’t read any myself but I do have a few on my to-read list, actually a few of them are books I added to my TBR list because of reviews I saw posted on your blog! 🙂 I definitely need to get around to Wink Poppy Midnight soon. It sounds interesting and I just love the cover! 😀
I hope you enjoy them when you get to them and I am glad I have added to your TBR 🙂 you should!! Who doesn’t love some screwed up teens?? And I agree, the cover is 😍😍
I hope so too, and, well I haven’t read many books with screwed up teens but I have really enjoyed the ones I have read so far! 😀
Well, I hope you enjoy this one 🙂
The only one of these I’ve read is Gone Girl, but it is definitely a great Halloween read!

I have Wink Poppy Midnight on my TBR, but I haven’t even heard of the others before! Thanks for the recommendations. 😉
I hope you enjoy it and I hope you add some of the others to your TBR 🙂
I loved The Girl With All The Gifts so much I might have to read it again, and there’s the movie version I must watch too 🙂
Say Her Name has a really great cover, but the story looks like it might have me worried to look into a mirror for a while afterwards 😀
Great list.
I loved TGWATG 🙂 I definitely can’t wait to watch the film 🙂 and it is a great story 🙂 definitely one to check out 🙂
Unnatural Deeds looks really good!
It was amazing!! Definitely worth checking out when it releases 🙂
I hear a lot about The Dead House but I haven’t heard Wink Poppy Midnight for Halloween. Interesting. 🙂
You should definitely check it out 🙂
Amazing Amy was definitely a scary character. So scary to think someone you know could try to set you up as a murderer like that!
