I’ve been in a #horror mood lately (thank you, #HouseofHollow--😉) and am #currentlyreading The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher. It’s fun so far! Has a lot of dark comedy elements woven in with the scares. . Premise: A young woman discovers a strange portal in her uncle’s museum, leading to madness and terror… 👻💀🪦 . It’s such an eerie yet lovely cover, and with a tagline that says: “Pray that they are hungry...” how could I resist? What’s your #currentread? . #booklover #bookstagram #thehollowplaces #bookworm #tkingfisher #scaryreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CQwFCe-r6NL/?utm_medium=tumblr

FOUR FRIGHTENING READS FROM HMH TEEN! 

It’s October, which means its time for marathoning Harry Potter, Hocus Pocus, and diving into horrifyingly good YA. Here are some of our favorites! 

LOST VOICES by Sarah Porter

This eerie trilogy is both beautiful and horrifying, as it involves the aftermath of trauma with a magical twist. When young girls are assaulted, they are given a chance to find freedom as mermaids beneath the waves...but with that freedom comes a rage they cannot control, and the desire to lure men to their deaths. 

Book 1 of this series is only $1.99 for e-book during October, so download it fast before the deal disappears, like magic:

THE HANGING GIRL by Eileen Cook

As you can see from the photo at the top of this post, THE HANGING GIRL is about two thing: trying to change the future, and the consequences that arise when we do. When one prank ends up causing a girl to go missing, Skye must climb herself out of a web of lies by pretending she’s a real psychic and can find her. But not everything is what it seems in this psychological thriller, available now!

Wax by Gina Damico

This is everyone’s worst nightmare: a room of lifelike wax figures at a candle factory seems innocent...until one of them comes to life and demands freedom. But while trying to figure out the secret of the wax people—and the mysterious destruction of the factory–suddenly everyone starts to look like they may be made of wax! Gripping, with twists and turns you’ll never see coming, this e-book is also on discount for October, at just $2.99!

TELL THE WIND AND FIRE by Sarah Rees Brennan

Lucie has a dark secret: she was born in the Dark, despite having a picturesque life in the Light side of the city. When revolution takes hold of their city and she realizes even her perfect boyfriend has a shady past, blood will spill before the truth will out. We love this creepy urban fantasy (with a hint of romance!)

चालवा

गांव के बाहर, सूखी नदी के पार, एक पुराना रास्ता था…जिस पर लोग दिन में भी कम ही जाते थे।कहते थे—उस रास्ते पर कोई “चलता” है…पर उसके पैरों की आवाज नहीं आती।कुछ साल पहले एक आदमी वहां से गुजर रहा था।सुबह उसका बस्स शरीर मिला—आंखें खुली हुई… जैसे उसने कुछ देखा हो,पर चेहरा बिल्कुल खाली।उसके बाद से ही…लोग उस रास्ते को “चालवा” कहने लगे।

“All I could think of when I got a look at the place from the outside was what fun it would be to stand out there and watch it burn down.” ― Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House • • Hey Bookdragons! Have you heard the amazing news?! (I’m talking election results of course) let’s all take a big breath of relief and celebrate! • • #CourtofReading Day 7: #FallVibes • • I love the cover of this edition, don’t you? Even though I didn’t enjoy this book I can still appreciate the cover.
