Oooooh...! Halloween’s coming up. A reader asked me to come up with ideas for spooky mystery novels. The writer herself suggested Diane Setterfield’s The Thirteenth Tale. Good one!
Here are some I came up with—mostly older works:
- Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, 1938 (an all-time favorite)
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, 1847 (the mad women in the attic)
- The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, 1859-60 (scrumptious)
- The Hound of the Baskervilles by Conan Doyle, 1091-02 (the great Sherlock and Watson)
- Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, 2003 (we have guides for the complete vampire series)
- Anything scary by Stephen King… Any particular suggestions from anyone?
If anyone has some other ideas, let us know. We’d love to hear from you.
