Horror fans, have we got some treats for you! 

October marks a month full of frightful fun, delightful chills, and the most irresistibly scary stories just begging to be read.

The best ones, of course, are the tales that make you pull the covers tight, turn on an extra lamp, double check your locks, and reach for the comfort of a furry friend. They're the stories that keep you on edge with the turn of every suspense-laden page and linger with you long after you've closed the book and tucked it away for the night.
