Non-bestselling Halloween horror reads

More bloody, monstrous books to read by the Victorian oil lamp.

Halloween is a party for horror fans and a commercial hook, so bookstores are full of horror literature. Platforms, restaurants, bookstores, and releases have been promoting Halloween for weeks. Of course, there are readings for all tastes, but since we like to go beyond the ordinary, we’ve compiled a few to get your retinas ready for Halloween.

After ‘The Substance’ brought body horror back into fashion (if it ever did), Horror Vacui’s sensational compilation of female authors’ works is worth reviving. In one of the year’s best horror compilations, Margaret Atwood (‘The Handmaid’s Tale’) writes about body mutations with a combative and feminist perspective.

In this exquisite horror novel, Chelsea G. Summers introduces Dorothy Daniels, a revered and feared food critic, without denying the gory details. Besides food, Daniels loves sex. Also, other unimaginable pleasures. This first-person novel explores the inner life of a monster that will remind even the most seasoned readers of Hannibal Lecter and Patrick Bateman. However, the protagonist’s gender change is more than aesthetic.

The Carfax Library’s Demeter collection of short, intense novels never disappoints. In this disturbing story, a group of teenagers are haunted by the ghost of a congressman who committed suicide live on television in 1987. Horror literature is used to paint a dark picture of reality. Urban legends and creepy pasta texture make a relentless suicidal ghost story.

Bluebeard is retold in a unique way behind Borja González’s stunning cover, which is worth the volume’s price. Marina Tena alters the story in a dark fantasy key. We’ll have the newlywed devoted to her husband, the room she can’t enter, and the missing previous wives, as we expected. There will be more: disturbing relatives for this young woman with many secrets and other dark gothic classic twists.

The classic essay by best-selling author Grady Hendrix is translated as ‘The Dark History of Horror Fiction of the 70s and 80s’ after a long wait. Minotauro has respected the size and glorious illustrations of the original in its translation and included Spanish equivalents of the novels the author discusses in Spanish cases. A hilarious and sometimes incredible review of horror fiction in the seventies and eighties, with incredible covers and unspeakable plots.

The prompter knows we like folk horror. A young woman returns to the town where she lived with her grandmother as a child, built on sacred land. Amor is an excellent genre renovator because she unravels the mysteries of a town-related arcane cult in a unique way.

Explore the macabre Nahua mythology in Mexico, specifically the case of piñata possession, departing from the typical Anglo-Saxon horrors. Given its frenetic pace and use of native traditions, this book could be a fast-paced youth horror film that still manages to send a stimulating anti-colonialist message through the awakening of evil central forces.
