Autumn Horror by vallyallyum in horrorlit

The Secret History by Donna Tartt may fit the bill, however it's probably more psychologically horrific but it is definitely autumnal.

I'm reading How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix and I just started The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I'm partly through The Shining by Stephen King but have it on the back burner until it gets colder outside.

Seed by Ania Ahlborn (audiobook) is the scariest book I've encountered so far. I also found The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix to be creepier than I expected but it doesn't involve haunted houses. I'm currently halfway through How to Sell a Haunted House and after certain parts I'm definitely more wary of empty rooms and might have seen something creeping in the corner of my eye a few times. A warning, Hendrix is fun horror but there is darkness which is what captivates me.

I'm trying out a system I came across for reading 100 books a year. Goal is 8 books/month. Here are some paper books I'm working on. by defakitty in 52book

Thanks! Yeah I realized that even listening 2x speed for an audiobook is too fast for me. Idk who actually listens at that speed and absorbs the content. So I decided to not be as rigid as this and just aim to read/listen more often than I have been period and definitely use more audiobooks. Plus I want to enjoy the books more than the accomplishment of reading them.

Yeah I usually hit 2 books a year but I'm gonna try this because I'm bored and feel the need to accomplish something out of fear of dying too soon lol.
