Books to give you a fright!


Dracula – Bram Stoker
The original vampire novel this is a series of diary entries and similar that tells the story of Jonathan Harker who goes to Transylvania to sell property to an odd client and his fiancé left back in England. Dark, creepy and well worth a read.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
Mysterious villain is linked to a respectable man but more is going on than first appears. Short but brilliant.

Frankenstein: or `The Modern Prometheus' by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Chilling gothic tale – Dr. Frankenstein creates life from exhumed body parts but having succeeded no longer wants his creation. The creation then sets out to destroy his maker. Thought provoking and excellent.

Haunted by James Herbert
Haunted house – three nights to solve the mystery but will David Ash make it to the end? Classic atmospheric horror not much gore but plenty of scares.

The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe
A short story where a friend is invited to the home of Roderick Usher (a strange and troubled man) but upon the death of Roderick’s sister it takes a mysterious and creepy turn. Poe wrote a bunch of great ghost stories and creepy poems including ‘The Raven’ which is also well worth a read.

The Shining by Stephen King
King has written loads of horror classics many of which have been made into movies. The Shining is the story of a writer in a haunted hotel, who gradually becomes controlled by the ghosts. Very scary – to be read with all the lights on (the movie was an 18!).

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Nobody Owens lives in a graveyard with the ghosts for friends after the murder of his parents. But his parents murder won’t rest until Nobody is dead too! Page turning as well as award winning teen fiction. Gaiman also wrote ‘Coraline’ another creepy but excellent story.
