Halloween's finally here and the scarefest begins! If you're not up to trick or treats or Halloween parties, you could simply grab a scary book and be prepared to get scared out of your wits!

Books about vampires, witches and other mythical and scary creatures would be enough to fill your imagination and make you wonder what's lurking underneath your beds. Enjoy!

You've probably seen the movie of this horror story but it's so much better to read them word per word in order to really feel the chill in the air!

Danny was only five years old but in the words of old Mr Halloran he was a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father became caretaker of the Overlook Hotel his visions grew frighteningly out of control.

As winter closed in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seemed to develop a life of its own. It was meant to be empty, but who was the lady in Room 217, and who were the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why did the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?
