Recs if you like How to Sell a Haunted House...

This collection of thriller, mystery, and horror novels will send a chill down your spine... right in time for Halloween!

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

Fiction stories about Haunted houses and other locations. Maybe it’s ghosts, maybe it’s cursed, maybe it’s ancient gods or creatures? All kinda of supernatural haunts and creatures attached to homes, objects, or locations.

not sure i would take these books titled “how to” or “guide to” at face value but your mileage may vary.

taking suggestions, as always.

A collection of titles that all start with "how to" that aren't actually how-to guides...suggestions welcome!

Books with weird, strange, absurd, or just hilarious titles Please comment your own suggestions

Alternatively, these are books I’d recommend to each Dropout cast member if given the opportunity to do so! I’ll be including a legend in the comments to clarify which book goes with each person. I know I’m missing people, so if you have a good suggestion for a book recommendation that goes with someone I haven’t already mentioned, please share!

When homes, nurseries, kitchens, suburbs, etc. become the most dangerous places of all

possession n that Most of these are recs I found on r/horrorlit so apologies if they don’t actually include possession 🫡 recs are always welcomed 🙂‍↕️

So far these men: can write women characters with depth, don’t enact needless sexual violence on their characters, and aren’t irl monsters. Also their writing is good.

it's not a haunted house, it's a haunted HOME. if you enjoyed monster house as a kid or, like me, still enjoy it as an adult, here are some books about homes that aren't so cozy! feel free to give your own recs to add

haunted houses, spatial horror, and adjacent “something is going on with/in this structure” narratives! including nonfiction about actual places or analysis of the convention

thrillers (potentially horrors as well) featuring the paranormal - ghosts and ghouls, psychic powers, things that are not able to be explained the way Scooby Doo and the gang do, by pulling the mask off a creepy dude.

Thrillers and horror books with a family setting. This list focuses on relationships between siblings, parent and child etc.

If one door closes and another one opens, your house is probably haunted.

fiction books with titles that sound like a how-to guide but teaching you something you probably don’t need to learn

chills and charm!
