Summer has been here for a while, and the sun is shining bright in our faces. It has been a great time to go on a hike, relax on the beach, and generally spend a lot more time outside the house. We’re halfway through it and planning all the things we want to do before it ends. We’re trying to slot in reading on our overflowing to-do list. Short books are here to our rescue.

It’s 83 days until November 5th, and for no reason at all, I thought I’d share these stories that are better than Hillbilly Elegy. In recent years, some spectacular, scary, supernatural mysteries have been released in both the adult and YA categories. Some explore childhood trauma, while others look at the impact of racism or sexism, but all do so through the lens of fantastical horror and high-stakes mystery. These books pull no punches and often dive deep into body horror or psychological torments, and in many cases, the protagonists don’t make it out unscathed. Whether they’re set in the depths of the desert, the darkest part of the woods, or at a creepy old boarding school, these supernatural mysteries will keep you on the edge of your seat and probably make you lose some sleep as you’re reading them.
