Twenty scary books for Halloween

At People magazine Sharon Virts tagged twenty books of creepy suspense, scary thrillers and ghoulish ghost stories.

One title on the list:
The Hunger by Alma Katsu

Stephen King called it “deeply disturbing.” I call it horrifically delicious (no pun intended). Based on the true story of the Donner Party, a group of pioneers crossing the Nevada Sierras in the winter of 1847, The Hunger explores the gruesome depths of evil. Warning: Do not read this one after dark!
Read about the other entries on the list.

The Hunger is among C. J. Tudor's five top winter thrillers, Brittany Bunzey's twenty-five "must-read, truly bone-chilling" horror books, Deborah E. Kennedy's seven hot mysteries set in the Midwestern winter, Meagan Navarro top ten scary good horror novels, Jac Jemc's top ten haunting ghost stories and Mallory O'Meara's top thirteen spine-chilling books written by female authors.
