Chills and Thrills! My Favorite Halloween Reads: Part 3

     Happy Halloween! This is the third and final installment in my creepy Halloween reads recommendations. I have enjoyed going back and remembering some of these fun and often spooky books! I hope you will find a few of these yourself and give them a read!



     Strands of Bronze and Gold is a retelling of Bluebeard set in Antebellum south. This creepy retelling features ghosts of Bluebeard’s late wives that will be sure to send shivers down your spine!



     The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter is a mash-up of science fiction and horror classics. There are allusions to Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein, and even Sherlock Holmes! If you loved this novel, be sure to check out European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman!

     The Witch’s Daughter tells the story of a 384 year-old witch! The story is told between past and the present. This is a perfect read for Halloween for those who like your historical fiction to be mixed with a little magic!



     Milk of Shades and Honey is a fun Halloween read for those who want a regency romance with a supernatural twist! It is definitely a treat, not a trick!



     These Vicious Masks is a fun paranormal mystery set in Victorian London! Creepy setting for a creepy Halloween night!
