  1. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia – A thrilling, spooky tale set in the Mexican countryside.  
  2. Coraline by Neil Gaiman – A dark fantasy with just the right amount of creepiness for fall.  
  3. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray – A historical fantasy brimming with mystery and magic.  
  4. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón – A novel about a mysterious book and hidden secrets in post-war Barcelona.
