A Wicked Season: Halloween Reading at the Berkeley Carroll School Library




It’s autumn! It’s time to get cozy with a hot drink and a cool book. When we think of October we think of Halloween, so what’s more fitting for your autumn reading list than spooky mysteries, exciting thrillers, and chilling tales? This season at The Berkeley Carroll Middle/Upper School Library, we have a great collection of eerie reads from all genres. Check out the bulletin board in the Middle School nook for a display of some of our best titles!


            If fiction is what you crave with your cider then check out the bulletin board for some of our top reads. Novels such as Breathe: a ghost story, The Westing Game, Vanishing Act, and In a Glass Grimly (the newest Grimm installment!) are sure to intrigue and bewitch readers.


            Looking for something a bit more colorful? The library has a great collection of spooky graphic novels. Coraline by Neil Gaiman is a consistent favorite. We also have many illustrated versions of classic tales. Check out the graphic novel shelves for the illustrated versions of Dracula and Frankenstein.


            Ever wonder about real life ghost stories, scary places, and odd phenomena? Take a look at some nonfiction titles such as Strange Stuff: True Stories of Odd Places and Things and Zombie Makers: True Stories of Nature’s Undead to learn about the creepy myths and spooky wonders of our world.


                  We have a lot more chilling novels, collections of short stories, and nonfiction to offer. Many of them are on display around the library so take a look around or ask a librarian for your next spooky read!
