I've never been one for trick-or-treating. For me, Hallowe'en (and October generally) is a time to immerse myself in a good creepy novel.
I admit, I'm a little old-school when it comes to choice. (For some reason, I couldn't find my copy of Stephen King's "The Shining" but I would definitely have it up there, along with some Edgar Allen Poe.) There is just something about brilliantly atmospheric writing that leaves you unnerved and prickles the hairs on the back of your neck. Alas, I haven't actually read "House of Leaves" yet; it's been in my possession for almost a decade, but I've shamefully never got around to reading it. If anyone has, I'd love to hear what you think.
Do you have any favourite eerie reads?
