An introduction to the Horror genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Creepy crawling vines, sentient mushrooms, or a killer forest; no matter what shape they take, plants and fungi play a main part in these horror novels.

I like my castles cold, my moors windswept, and my heroines swooning.

Hello! I’m so thrilled you’ve joined the Haunted House Horror Quest!
There’s just something so great about good haunted house story and I'm so glad I was able to create this quest to be able to discuss it more with all of you! What I love about haunted house books is that they're never just about creaky staircases, shadowy hallways, or things that go bump in the night but they often explore grief, trauma, guilt, family secrets, and the ways the past refuses to stay buried. The house itself often becomes some sort of metaphor or explanation, sometimes it doesn't haha. Sometimes the horror is supernatural, sometimes it’s human, and sometimes it’s a bit of both.
When I pulled this list together, I really tried to include a variety like the classics you think of when you think haunted house story, modern spins that add freshness, and a few hidden gems you might not have come across yet. If the book is part of a series, you’ll only see the first one here to keep things manageable.
And of course, this is just a starting point. Please share your own haunted house favourites in this post so we can keep the forum itself from getting cluttered. I’ll keep adding them if they fit the quest!
So grab a flashlight, ignore the strange noises upstairs, and let’s see which haunted stories linger with us the longest..
