Halloween is inching ever closer, and now’s the perfect time to start thinking about books that scare and/or creep the tar out of you. I don’t normally read “scary” books, but there are a handful of thrillers that definitely kept me up at night.
- Lucy (Laurence Gonzales) – A story about the world’s first ape-human hybrid, considered by some a modern version of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
- Helter Skelter (Vincent T. Bugliosi, Curt Gentry) – The true story behind the Manson murders, written by the prosecuting attorney. All the more terrifying because it’s true.
- Long Lankin (Lindsey Barraclough) – What could be more horrifying than a cannibalistic ghost?
- The Relic (Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child) – A deadly monster who must feed on the human hypothalamus gland in order to live…and it’s trapped in NYC’s Museum of Natural History. What could possibly go wrong?
What book gave you the heebie-jeebies? Let me know in the comments!
