This October, the staff want to share some of their favorite creepy, thrilling, and suspenseful reads with our patrons. To introduce an element of surprise, we've wrapped each book in a bag and given a few hints about plot, setting or characters. You choose a bag, check out the book inside and take home something new and unexpected to enjoy. We've included a small review slip with each book, so you can let us know what YOU thought.
Just for fun, we've included some of our favorites in the list below:
