A Halloween BookTrail

Halloween in books

There are many good books you can read during the month of Halloween. Ones that contain all manner of spooky houses and ghostly woods. But what about crime novels that blend murder, witches and darkness in that cauldron too?

One writer, has inadvertently written some novels that lend themselves very well indeed to this month of spookyness…..

Witches and a crowe in the woods

The Trials of Marjorie Crowe

Majorie is not really a witch… or is she? but people think she is. So when a body is found in the woods near her house, she is suspected of doing something evil. And when another body shows up, well, Majorie is said to be a very dark witch indeed and evil lurks everywhere she goes….

Murderabilia

When a killer takes a trophy of the person they’ve murdered

Everyone has a hobby. Some people collect death.

Now does that not scream Halloween?

Moving on to dark woods now and…..Ruth Ware and Riley Sager are your authors here:

In a Dark Dark Wood

This wood is a really scary one – as it seems so nice at first. Set in the wonderful countryside of Northumberland, which I know well, I was lulled into a false sense of security with these new friends I’d made. Let’s have a girls weekend they said. Yes I agreed. Well, we were not alone…….

Let’s go and see what Riley Sager is up to in the woods, shall we?

Middle of the Night

There’s a camping trip. Well it’s a safe one as two boys decide to camp in their garden. But…..the woods are not far away…….and something is stirring….

So we have witches, murder trophies and dark dark  woods, what else do you need for a good Halloween…. how about a ghost or two?

The Ghost Hunters

One of the best ghostly tales around….from the pen of Neil Spring. The Ghosthunters is definately worth a read as its based on fact or at least inspired by legend….

Don’t have nightmares and do sleep well…….
