<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Top Ten Tuesday was started by The Broke and the Bookish, and was taken over by <a href="http://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/top-ten-tuesday/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">That Artsy Reader Girl </a>in 2018.</dd>

<p>This week’s <strong>Top Ten Tuesday</strong> is a Halloween Freebie! I decided to take a look at my Goodreads TBR to see what 10 horror books I am hoping to read in the next year! I am not really celebrating Halloween a ton this year as most parties are happening the weekend after, when I&#8217;ll be out of town, but I am excited to see if I can get up to some Halloween shenanigans while in New Orleans! If you are looking for something more Halloweenish but aren&#8217;t really wanting to read a full novel, <a href="http://megggriffin.com/2019/10/21/getting-published/">my anthology comes out tomorrow</a>! Get some vampire and dragon fun!</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color:#993300;">The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring</span></strong></h3>
<p>I&#8217;ve been waiting for this book to come out all year, and now that it&#8217;s out&#8230;I haven&#8217;t bought it yet. Whoops! But still, ISOLATED FINISHING SCHOOL. IN ARGENTINA. SPIRITS. POSSESSION. I am beyond sold.</p>
<h3><strong>Bedbugs by Ben H. Winters</strong></h3>
<p>I bought this book because I love Quirk Books and what they produce, bedbugs are absolutely terrifying, and I know it&#8217;ll make me itch the whole time. Which is also why I haven&#8217;t read it yet I think. BEDBUGS FROM HELL.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color:#993300;">The Deep by Alma Katsu</span></strong></h3>
<p>This book comes out in March 2020, and I am so incredibly bummed that I&#8217;ve been denied an advance copy on both Netgalley and Edelwiess, but I&#8217;m hoping that I can free up my galley readings to wiggle a copy from somewhere else. Nonetheless, This is a book about the Titanic, and what if there was a supernatural reason it crashed?! I LOVE that. I love creepy ghost boats. The opening scene of <em>The Ghost Ship</em> is seriously one of my favorite things. GIVE ME.</p>
<h3><strong>The Remaking by Clay McLeod Chapman</strong></h3>
<p>Another horror book I got from Quirk Books at Bookcon! I unfortunately didn&#8217;t get it read before the release date, but I am intrigued. Urban legends based in Virginia, I am here for it.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color:#993300;">Full Throttle by Joe Hill</span></strong></h3>
<p>I have a signed copy of this short story collection, and I am dying to read it. October got a bit away from me reading wise, but it may come with me on the airplane this weekend! I mean, it&#8217;s Joe Hill. Need I say more?</p>
<h3><strong>The King of Crows by Libba Bray</strong></h3>
<p>This is the fourth book in <em>The Diviners</em> series, and if you know anything about me, I LOVE this series. I talk about them way too much. This is the last book, the cover is gorgeous and I already have the audiobook set and ready to be bought. Then I&#8217;ll buy them all in paperback because I LOVE the covers. 1920s and ghost. BRING IT ON.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color:#993300;">The Visible Filth by Nathan Ballingrud</span></strong></h3>
<p>This novella has been made into a movie that I thiiiink is on Hulu in the US (Netflix international?) I honestly don&#8217;t even remember what it&#8217;s about, but I am down for reading stuff before the movie comes out, and it being only a novella, should be quick and easy.</p>
<h3>My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris</h3>
<p>This book is gorgeous. It&#8217;s a graphic novel, and I definitely started it at one point, but wasn&#8217;t in the right headspace for it. The second volume isn&#8217;t out yet, which might be why I&#8217;ve been dragging my feet.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color:#993300;">The Hearts We Sold by Emily Lloyd-Jones</span></strong></h3>
<p>This book is probably not actually horror, but it&#8217;s a Faustian deal. I&#8217;m in.</p>
<h3><strong>Mount Fitz Roy by Scott Sigler </strong></h3>
<p>This is entirely wishful thinking. I hope this sequel comes out next year, and I know when it does I&#8217;ll be buying it ASAP. And I have definitely not been waiting as long as other people!</p>
<p>Have you read any of these books? Any other horror book recommendations? Let me know!</p>
