Listen at your own risk: 5 dark and scary podcasts to get you in the Halloween mood
Ghost stories around the campfire and murder mysteries in the dark! That's what Halloween should be all about; being scared. Especially when you're an adult. There's not much I like more than a truly scary story. I've been reading horror since I was a kid, beginning with In a Dark Dark Room, then graduating to RL Stine's Goosebumps and Fear Street. I still love reading horror, but I don't often have time to indulge my lust for all things frightening. That's where podcasts come in!
I can listen to an episode of a podcast while I'm walking Hazel, house cleaning, taking a shower or snoozing my alarm clock. Podcasts make it easy to enjoy spooky stories- and no better time to enjoy them than spooky season. These are my top five scary podcasts about murder, horror, and things that go bump in the night. Listen if you dare!

Ruth Ware has done it again! She keeps crafting creative mysteries and plots that propel the reader forward, and One By One is no exception. This is the ultimate Fall Reading List book. Set on a snowy mountain in France, the story is as chilling as the white powder that swallows the characters whole.

A cackle in the distance; a spell cast in the night. It's

you, and you don’t realize his long fangs are sinking deep into your neck. What
is Halloween without a spooky vampire movie! This is a list of old and new

Summer nostalgia reads: 5 best Fear Street books to read on a hot summer day
I grew up in the 90s’ during a time when crimped hair was cool, bracelets slapped on and RL Stine was the king of teen horror. While I have read many books by many different authors, RL Stine will always remain my favorite author of all time. His books sent shivers down my spine and kept me turning page after page until I got to the bitter and bone-chilling end.
As a child I loved the plot-twisting, comical Goosebumpsseries, but as I got older I graduated to the scarier, sexier Fear Street novels. Every summer I crack open a dusty Fear Street book and consume the yellowed pages while lying in the sunshine. It reminds me of a simpler time when I would get lost in a book instead of one of my many devices, and murder was more often on the page than in the news. To this day I still collect and read RL Stine’s books.
