October means Halloween, and so we've gathered some reviews where patrons mentioned horror, being scared, witches, and maybe a couple books with creepy titles (but maybe not creepy content). This week's selection contains fiction and nonfiction, so take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to try.

My Sister, The Serial Killer
By Oyinkan Braithwaite
I have never read anything like this. This book was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's the story of two sisters, one of whom is literally a serial killer. Believe it or not, somehow the book was charming, clever, and actually pretty funny. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook, the narrator does an amazing job.

American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century
By Maureen Callahan
This was un-putdownable. I read it in one day and had to sleep with a light on for the next 3 nights. It's more eerie than I'll Be Gone in the Dark. I found the commentary on serial killers in the 21st century. The story about this individual is just harrowing and scary.

Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals about Death
By Caitlin Doughty
A very quick, easy, candid, and often humorous read on death. The questions come from children, and the answers are presented in a way that is easily understood. Recommend, and could also be read with/to a child.

What started as a usual morning turns into a horror. Your child is kidnapped and you must pay ransom and kidnap another child to get her released.Tense reading as you question how far you would go.
