Recs if you like I Know What You Did Last Summer...

the people of this town love halloween so much they celebrate it twice a year

It's super hot outside and you're in the mood for summer slasher books and/or a lowkey mysterious fall vibe just like in the Gravity Falls summerween episode? Then this list is for YOU. 🙂‍↕️ Feel free to comment your own recs, I'll add those. 🫶🏻

Bring on those Gen Y memories! A list of books likely to give people born between 1981 and 1996 a lot of feelings.

This list is for those of us who grew up eagerly awaiting the Scholastic Book Fair, watching Reading Rainbow (or Wishbone!), and dreaming of a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.

Note: these are not books published in 1981-1996, but books that had a hold on the millennial generation.

Also check out the Dear America series, American Girl series & Royal Diaries series.

Inspired by reading Paperbacks from Hell (by Grady Hendrix), I wanted to broaden the horror novels under my belt. I might have grown up reading King and a little Koontz (and way too much Pike and Stine), but there are so many fascinating titles that predate those greats. Feel free to suggest older horror books and why they'd make a great addition to this list in the comments.

Collection of slasher books!

Some will involve the supernatural, some are from the POV of survivors and others from the killer

Keeping up with the 700+ books featured on Overdue since 2013

My pitch for horror movies to be added to the "Made For The Movies" quest. Or that they should get their own?? (Also let me know ones to add - I'd love some recs)

Summer-what? Summerween! The people of this town love Halloween so much, they celebrate it twice a year!

Summerween recs

Books from Chapter 8 from Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix. This chapter focuses on slasher type horror and serial killer horror. In the 70s and 80s serial killers found their way into the popular zeitgeist and news for the first time. As Hendrix notes of the panic that ensued, “… and in a flash the scariest motive for murder was no motive at all.” (205, Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix). After all, nothing is scarier than a killer who kills just for the thrill.
