Fall is the perfect time to get cozy and curl up with a good horror book. The crisp leaves, chilly nights, and spooky atmosphere all contribute to a chilling reading experience. Here are my top 3 picks for horror books to read this fall:
1. "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson
If you're looking for a classic horror novel that will stay with you long after you've finished reading, "The Haunting of Hill House" is a must-read. This psychological horror story follows a group of people who are invited to spend the summer in a haunted house. Jackson's writing is both chilling and atmospheric, and the characters are incredibly well-developed. I've read this book countless times, and it never fails to give me goosebumps.

2. "The Exorcist" by William Peter Blatty
For those who prefer their horror to be a bit more explicit, "The Exorcist" is a must-read. This classic novel tells the story of a 12-year-old girl who becomes possessed by a demonic force. Blatty's writing is both disturbing and compelling, and the descriptions of the demonic rituals are sure to leave you feeling unsettled. This is not a book for the faint of heart, but it is a truly terrifying read.

3. "The Southern Reach Trilogy" by Jeff VanderMeer
If you're looking for something a little different, the Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer is a great choice. This series of novels follows a group of scientists who are sent to investigate a mysterious area known as "The Area X." The books are filled with strange and unsettling imagery, and the ending is truly mind-bending. I found the Southern Reach Trilogy to be a refreshing take on the horror genre, and I highly recommend it to fans of speculative fiction.
