Sure, you can watch a scary movie or a spooky TV show. But when it comes to Halloween, there’s something special about curling up with a freaky good book, poring over an author’s chilling prose and having your imagination scare the ever-lovin’ pants off you.

Along with pumpkin spice everything, fall brings a cornucopia of novels that will pleasantly unnerve and may even cause some lingering nightmares. Obviously, don’t forget the classics – pick any Stephen King tome from the past four decades for a good time, or really go old school with Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” – but the fresh fare is pretty cool, too, with a mix of social commentary and eerie themes.

Here are 10 new horror titles to check out this Halloween season:
