- Narrado por: Robin Miles

- Listen if you liked: The Haunting of Hill House
- When it comes to horror, in my opinion, it's hard to beat a great haunted house tale. Tananarive Due’s The Good House presents a fresh take on a classic horror trope. With compelling characters and a sense of impending dread, Due weaves together a mystical past with present-day evils. The author’s writing has been compared to Stephen King’s with good reason—this one is as imaginative as it is compulsively listenable, especially with the deft narration of Robin Miles.

- Stay with me here, because that's how this book has been pitched and...it's not wrong. If you'd ordinarily pick a romantic comedy over a scary movie, but still have spooky inclinations, try this new release. Shirley Barrett's light (yet creepy), hilarious (yet surprisingly deep) novel might just be the gateway to horror you've been looking for.

Jordan Peele’s directorial debut was probably my favorite horror movie of the past few years, so I hesitate to compare anything to it, but this smart short novel comes close. Many horror fans struggle to reconcile the lasting impact of H.P. Lovecraft’s work on the genre with the man himself, who was known to be a bigot, but Victor LaValle’s twist on the story
The Horror at Red Hook
skillfully builds on the eerie senses of the original tale while revealing the more tangible horrors of racism and hate.

- Anne Rice is perhaps best known for her classic Vampire Chronicles, but her Mayfair Witches series (which does eventually intersect with the world of Lestat, et al) is every bit as enchanting and expansive—with romance, intrigue, horror, and supernatural forces. And if it's the 50-hour run time that frightens you most here, fear not—the very capable Kate Reading will make this alluring tale fly by.

The title of Riley Sager's clever, campy debut is an nod to the genre itself: the term
final girl
is used to describe a familiar trope in classic horror movies: the sole (female) survivor in a murder's rampage. Much like the film Scream, which achieved cult status in the '90s as a parody of all the good, bad, and downright nightmarish horror that came before it, Sager's slasher novel is as pulse-pounding as it is delightful in its self-awareness. And duel narration by the incredible Hillary Huber and Erin Bennet make this one an extra-cinematic listen.

- I can't take credit for thinking up this comparison—it's one I've seen time and time again when perusing reader and listener reviews for this book—but I wholeheartedly agree. First released in Spain, and set in Barcelona Carlos Ruiz Zafón's young adult novel is a fantastical mix of gothic horror, romance, and mystery wrapped up in an intriguing tale with breathtaking imagery and compelling characters.

- Any horror movie or book that leaves you compulsively looking over your shoulder for the next week or so is a winner in my book, and Tim Lebbon's (of Alien: Out of the Shadows fame) post-apocalyptic thriller will have you doing just that. Astute listeners will note the similarities to A Quiet Place but these two stories do stand on their own—and Lebbon's novel will soon be hitting the big screen as well in an adaptation starring Kiernan Shipka and Stanley Tucci.

- You knew you weren't getting out of here without a ST comparison, right? Okay, good. Because if you particularly loved the humor and nonstop '80s nostalgia of that series (and really, how could you not?), Grady Hendrix's novel has to be on your listen list. It's a horror novel with all the heart of a John Hughes movie (as confessed by the author himself), and since its release in 2016, has become an in-house favorite novel. Plus, it's narrated by another in-house favorite (Emily Woo Zeller).

- Full disclosure: gory horror like this is not really my thing, but if anyone can do it effectively it's prolific author Ania Ahlborn. Brother is indeed not for the faint of heart, and yet it manages to put a very human spin on a classic, brutal horror trope. Paul Boehmer's performance perfectly encapsulates that mix of dread and despair.

- John Carpenter's beloved cult classic may not be funny per se, but if you were able to get on board with the idea of a haunted car—whether it spooked you, made you laugh, or some combination of the two—Reverse Transmission may just be your new favorite. In this Audible Original, the 1958 Plymouth Fury gets a 21st-century update to a driverless car sold by a tech giant. A murderous vehicle, AI gone wild, and clever, laugh-out-loud moments. Sounds like the perfect listen to cap off the season to me.

I’m an occultist living in a haunted brownstone in upstate New York. The building is a ghostly double-image of itself, like a picture painted brightly over an older, weirder picture. It’s an equinox place, my mother once said, where dark and light things are equally in power. I want to tell you, dear strangers, why I was there and what I found.

Haunted house, warm heart
Okay. I'm ready for Halloween now. This oddly dark and sweet story has completely captivated me and set me in the right frame of mind to fully appreciate this witchy, haunted season—the kind of genre-stretching reset I recommend to everyone. Ghostlove is not horror. Sure, there's creepiness—but it's not cringe-worthy. It actually hit a very child-like part of me that still exists but often needs a nudge: the ability to fully and openly suspend disbelief. I say, just go with it. Let yourself fall in love with these ghosts and dead people and lose yourself in the strange hallways and creaky floorboards of your mind. Get swept up in this spellbinding multi-cast performance and let your imagination be recharged.
