CURATION BY CEE • Spoooky Teen Books for Halloween

October 29, 2022 Leave a Comment

Curation by Cee is a series where I have carefully selected books that fit a specific theme, in order to set up tables and endcap displays for readers to peruse. This is something thing I already do at work, and find a lot of joy curating books that I want readers to pick up.

Spooky, scary season is upon us—the best month of the year gives us the best vibes (you can try to fight me on this one). I may be a scaredy cat, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the spooky nature of Halloween, nor does it mean I wouldn’t read a horror book.

I bring you a curation of the teen books for Halloween—anthologies, body horror, queer ghost stories and more!

These are the teen books on my bookstore’s Halloween display this year:
TEEN HORROR BOOKS

The Gathering Dark edited by Tori Bovalino

“Hauntings, and a variety of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home. Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest tales we grew up with.”

Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw

“Jack and Sally are “truly meant to be” … or are they?”

The Diviners by Libba Bray

“A young woman discovers her mysterious powers could help catch a killer in the first book of The Diviners series–a stunning supernatural historical mystery set in 1920s New York City”

Our Shadows Have Claws: 15 Latin American Monster Stories edited by Yamile Saied Méndez & Amparo Ortiz

“From zombies to cannibals to death incarnate, this cross-genre anthology offers something for every monster lover. In Our Shadows Have Claws, bloodthirsty vampires are hunted by a quick-witted slayer; children are stolen from their beds by “el viejo de la bolsa” while a military dictatorship steals their parents; and anyone you love, absolutely anyone, might be a shapeshifter waiting to hunt.”

Wilder Girls by Rory Power

“A feminist Lord of the Flies about three best friends living in quarantine at their island boarding school, and the lengths they go to uncover the truth of their confinement when one disappears.”

Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalo

“A deliciously creepy horror novel inspired by the Ripper murders and an unexpected, blood-chilling conclusion.”

The Girls Are Never Gone by Sarah Glenn Marsh

“The Conjuring meets Sadie in this queer ghost story, when seventeen-year-old podcaster Dare finds herself in a life-or-death struggle against an evil spirit”

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White

“A stunning and dark reimagining of Frankenstein told from the point-of-view of Elizabeth Lavenza, who is taken in by the Frankenstein family.”

Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

“A beautiful and haunting ghost story involving a teen who can kill the dead and a ghost in a red stained white dress who will kill anybody who steps foot into the place she called home.”

The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglas

“Get Out meets Danielle Vega in this YA horror where survival is not a guarantee.”

Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand

“From the New York Times bestselling author of Furyborn comes a breathtaking and spine-tingling novel about three teenage girls who face off against an insidious monster that preys upon young women.”

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

“A trans boy determined to prove his gender to his traditional Latinx family summons a ghost who refuses to leave.”

The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould

“Courtney Gould’s thrilling debut The Dead and the Dark is about the things that lurk in dark corners, the parts of you that can’t remain hidden, and about finding home in places―and people―you didn’t expect.”

White Smoke by Tiffany D. Jackson

“The Haunting of Hill House meets Get Out in this chilling YA psychological thriller and modern take on the classic haunted house story.”

Horrid by Katrina Leno

“A haunting contemporary horror novel that explores themes of mental illness, rage, and grief, twisted with spine-chilling elements of Stephen King and Agatha Christie.”
