This guide is ever expanding and changing as we get new additions to the library's collection and as such it is a lot to keep up with! Don't see your favorite horror book that you've seen at the library? E-mail us!
Seeking something spooky? Hankering for horror? Look no further!
Even if it's not fall, there's never a bad time to curl up with a tale of terror...be it an old favorite or trying something new. In addition to books, this guide also features some great audio books that bring a whole new level to your experience. This guide features selections from our catalog to showcase some of our favorite examples of Halloween spookiness for the young and horror for older audiences! The following pages are broken down by age starting with Children featuring picture and board books, moving on to Juvenile featuring chapter books, to Teen and Adult offerings across many different formats.
