"For devotees of the horror genre, Halloween is the best holiday on the calendar. Once a year, like creepy clockwork, the culture at large acknowledges the best things in life and unlife: revenants, witches, haunted houses, derelict amusement parks, and nightmare fungal issues.
To celebrate the season, we've collected here the most popular horror novels of the past three years, according to your fellow Goodreads regulars. You'll find some of the very best emerging writers in the field, including Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Mexican Gothic); Rachel Harrison (Such Sharp Teeth); Stephen Graham Jones (The Only Good Indians); and Catriona Ward (The Last House on Needless Street). Also check out the new one from Victor LaValle, whose 2017 novel, The Changeling, is now streaming on Apple TV+.
Look closely and you may even find old-school horror from moonlighting indie rock stars."
