These books and authors have been able to stand the tests of time (for the most part) and they continue to entertain and inspire new versions. And the cool thing? Classics can include spooky reads, too.…

I’ve seen reading guides on YouTube, blogs, and Instagram recommending what you’d typically expect: Stephen King, slashers, Riley Sager, etc. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with these, I thought I’d switch things up.…
