"After the grisly murder of his entire family, a toddler wanders into a graveyard where the ghosts and other supernatural residents agree to raise him as one of their own.
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family . . ."
A great story for both young and old by master storyteller Neil Gaiman.
An oldie and a goody for a reason! Written in entirely in letters and diary entries, the classic vampire story is a must read, especially for those of you who think you know all about vampires (hint: they don't sparkle)
Relic by Douglas Preston
and Lincoln Child
This book scared the hell out of me the first time I read it and has continued to do so on my multiple rereads. Definitely will make you nervous to go into a museum after hours!
The Passage by Justin Cronin
So scary I haven't even been able to finish it! If you want to be scared for a weekend then this is a must read! Have had so many recommendations from friends and coworkers that I know I'm going to have to tough it out and finish it. I'll just have to make sure I leave all the lights on in the house while doing so...
Happy Halloween!
