If slashers aren't your thing check out these titles for a thrilling and spooky read!

And it’s spooky season once again! These horror novels are devoted to the murderous rampage and full of homages (and clichés) from your favourite slasher movies. Please be aware that due to their thematic focus, these titles are inevitably at least a little gory. This means death happens on the page (no fade to black here!) and there are descriptions of wounds and violence. If that’s not your kind of reading, please look in our backlist of episodes for other suggestions!

Do you ever wish you could walk through a door and escape to another world? We've got you covered! Join Laura and guest Patience for reading suggestions that will take you away.

If you love all things Victorian we've got you covered. Fantasy, mystery, and even a book written by a Victorian period author!
