At CrimeReads Turhan tagged ten great haunted house novels full of atmosphere and secrets. One title on the list:
Bag of Bones by Stephen KingRead about the other entries on the list at CrimeReads.
Not my favorite Stephen King novel, but definitely a standout in the haunted house genre. It follows an author battling writer’s block and hallucinations in a secluded lake house after his wife’s death. My old paperback is covered in underlined passages because I read this with a book club while living in Istanbul, and we all debated which scene was the creepiest. A solid ghost story from the master of horror.
