This is my favorite Ruth Ware novel so far! And I think it definitely qualifies when it comes to spookiness. I spent most of the novel wondering whether or not there were ghosts involved. There were so many moments that just added to the tension in such a great way. Add in some creepy little kids and this book is just A++. I had such a good time reading this one!

This is technically billed as a fantasy, but the second installment in the Wayward Children series definitely leans into horror. Not only is this an incredible novella, but the setting, the Moors, is pretty much the perfect setting for a rainy day read, imo. This continues to be my favorite installment in this series and I don’t see that changing any time soon. I just love how creepy and odd the Moors are and I could read an entire series set there.

The Shining and Pet Semetary are constantly battling it out to be my favorite Stephen King novel. I love them both so much! I think, currently, The Shining is winning. There’s just something about this horrifying hotel and the family trapped there during the winter that pulls me in. So, if I’m looking for some creepiness on a nice, rainy day, this is definitely a book I would pick up.

This is a more recent favorite that absolutely blew me away! I suppose it’s not so much spooky as unsettling at various times throughout the tale. I love this mystery with a side of fantasy featuring a mysterious map and danger around every turn. I was so pulled into the story that I read this almost 400 page book in one day! It makes me want to read Peng Shepherd’s backlist.

I read this thriller for a blog tour and was so happy that I decided to sign up. I ended up loving this one so much! It definitely has a spooky vibe, complete with a creepy house filled with creepy happenings. It was such a quick, intriguing read that kept me guessing. I really need to check out this author’s backlist as well because I loved her writing style! All in all, this was a great thriller and definitely perfect for a rainy day.
