Gothic Books
Get into the haunted season with these haunting gothic book recommendations
Circus Books
Circuses are both fascinating and terrifying. I always feel I'm on the edge between consciousness and dreaming in a circus. Everything is a little loopy, and a little off-centre.
Horror: Middle Grade Edition
Middle grade is the perfect time to introduce kids to horror. Kids are able to get carried away by the magic of the story to a place where monsters exist ... and can be overcome.
War and Remembrance
Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on the horrors of war. Here are some of my favourite war-time novels - none of them glorify war, but rather highlight the devastating consequences and human costs that come with the fallout.
Scary Stories
It's time for scary stories. Not the cute ones, not the ones that give you warm fuzzies. These are stories that make your spine tingle.
Sweet Books for Spooky Season
These books capture this essence of autumn that gets us all punch-drunk on pumpkin spice. Here are some of my suggestions for books to curl up in front of the fire and soak in the abundance of the season.
