"Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love dressing up, I love spooky folklore, and I love the cozy feeling of reading a good ghost or witchy story at night. The problem is, I'm a wuss. Even though as a kid I voraciously read every horror novel I could find (I know I wasn't the only one with a gigantic pile of Goosebumps), once I transitioned into adult novels, horror was just too, well, horrific. People actually die, and often in gory or horrendous ways. I had to DNF It after a few sleepless nights.
But I still find myself wanting to read spooky books in October. Over the years, I've managed to find some not-so-scary reads to scratch that itch."
