If You Like ‘N0S4A2’ Add These To Your TBR!
Our BOOK OF THE MONTH was N0S4A2 by Joe Hill.
Maude Garrett isn’t a fan of horror. So we try to choose a spooky novel that has fantasy elements for October. Joe Hill has a different style than what we’re used to and he holds nothing back. The novel is dark, traumatic and sinister with a vampire who thinks he’s morally right with the decisions he makes for children.
If you have read N0S4A2 by Joe Hill, here are some books we recommend that are quite similar!

Since I do cheat a bit when reading a chonky book for book club, the first couple of chapters have given me the same feeling when I read The Shining for the first time.

If You Like ‘Goosebumps’ by R. L. Stine Add These Adult Books To Your TBR!
Since the 90s, Goosebumps by R. L. Stine introduced pre-teens to the supernatural and fantastical. Thanks to Stine, his stories were the perfect balance of horror and thriller. The story in each book often mirrored a situation the protagonist was going through. Whether it was grief, trauma or loneliness, the character’s pain would parallel the supernatural events.
If You Like ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ Add These Books To Your TBR!
If you’re a fan of Edgar Allan Poe then you know about The Fall of the House of Usher. It is one of his most well-known short stories. In one of my film lectures at University, we studied The Fall of the House of Usher and watched how the short story was translated into film. Filmmakers had adapted it as early as 1928 and remade it in the 50s. There have been many iterations, but no one has done the story justice like Mike Flanagan.

His books have been adapted numerous times; some adaptations are good, and some are bad. His book Pet Sematary, which is deemed one of his best has been adapted once again for Paramount Plus.
If You Like ‘The Exorcist’ Add These To Your TBR!
For years, the film and the novel have been highly regarded as the best of the horror genre. The people who were old enough to read the book and watch the film still talk about the frenzy in the 70s. Everyone was traumatized by The Exorcist.
The film and the book paved the way for horror writers to tell their stories and spook many new audiences for generations. The newest addition to The Exorcist world is The Exorcist: Believer. A film meant to reintroduce new audiences to the work of William Peter Blatty and William Friedkin.

The book of the month for MBC is Fairy Tale by Stephen King. How can we not read a horror fantasy by the horror King himself?
Why You Need To Read More Stephen King Novels
Stephen King has been dubbed the “Master of Horror” because of the way he pulls readers into the horrifying world he creates. King slowly brings you into the atmosphere in his novels and has you sit with each moment he describes. You can feel everything around you while you’re lost in the pages. No matter the location, King can craft a chilling atmosphere to have readers engrossed in the journey.
