Halloween is a good time to read and scare yourself with a horror book.

A popular series at the library is the Walking Dead series.  If you like to read — and like horror,  consider these top five young adult (YA) scary books this Halloween season.

  1. The Replacement (Brenna Yovanoff):  the book is about a teenage boy called Mackie Doyle. He is from a world of zombie girls. He is not human. “He is a replacement, left in the crib of a human baby sixteen years ago”.
  2. Slice of cherry (Dia Reeves):  the book is about these two girls finding out that their dad is a serial killer. So they discovered a new way to seek revenge on the people that have done bad things to them.
  3. Be not afraid ( Cecilia Galante):  the book is about these two high school girls that summoned demons with a ritual they did months before.
  4. Anna dressed in the Blood ( Kendare Blake):  the book is about A guy who travels a lot catching a ghost. He goes to a town to face Anna dressed in blood who has never let a soul escape.
  5. Though the woods ( Emily Carroll):  the book has different scary novels featuring the Boogie man, beast, ghosts, and resurrected corpses.

And, remember, reading makes you smarter — even if you’re terrified of it.
