Ten Years of Horror Hits to Read This October - Page 2

Halloween is, of course, the traditional season for scary stories. But for those of us weirdly dedicated to the genre, it's a year-round endeavor.

Today's collection looks back on the past 10 years of horror novels and short fiction collections, but with a twist.

It's a curated list based on reader ratings and shelvings—the books that end up most often on members' Read, Currently Reading, and Want to Read shelves.
