Two Great Halloween Reads...
For those of you done with this month's book, here are two great creepy reads for the Halloween Season.
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
This is a short novella written by the author of the creepy short story "The Lottery." Shirley Jackson is a master at creepy and macabre without any gore or gross. There is also a lot of humor. This is a story about two sisters who live in an isolated family home after the death of the rest of the family. Merricat and Constance are very intriguing characters and you'll be hooked right away.
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
Another member of our book club asked me about this book the other day and I started thinking about what a great read it would be around Halloween time. This is actually a non-fictional account of the correlating events of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and the serial killing rampage of killer H.H. Holmes in the city at the same time. The book reads like a suspense novel and I particularly loved it for the creepiness AND truthfulness of H.H. Holmes, however, there is so much history involved pertaining to the World's Fair you can't help but actually learn some stuff, too!

You Must Read This Book!!
Seriously, this was one of the best books I've read in quite awhile. I couldn't put it down. It's written entirely in the form of various letters between the characters. I didn't think I would like that, but the writing was so good and the characters so vivid that I didn't even notice. I felt like I personally knew each and every person in the book by the time I was done, it was absolutely fabulous. Check it out!
