Horror readers, our favorite month is finally here! We’ve been so fortunate with so many good horror books releasing all year round. But there’s something extra special about horror that comes out in October, the best month of the year. Does that mean the best horror novels of the year are coming out this month? I’ll let you be the judge. Here are some of the most exciting scary books you can read this October.
Crafting for Sinners by Jenny Kiefer (Quirk, October 7)
Ruth feels trapped in her life and trapped in the closet in the small, conservative town of Kill Devil, Kentucky. When her manager at the craft store where she works finds out she’s living with her girlfriend, Ruth gets fired. But she’s not going down without a fight. In an act of revenge, Ruth attempts to shoplift yarn from the store, and instead, she finds herself captured by the religious group that runs the store (and the whole town). As Ruth comes face-to-face with the dark secrets behind Kill Devil, will she be able to make it out alive?
