Episode Details

Ready to add a little nightmare fuel to your reading list?

This episode of Mostly Me, Occasionally Wise is all about spooky books that horror fans need to check out! I'm sharing five reads that left me thinking, feeling, and occasionally wondering why I decided to read them before bed. From strange and twisty horror to heartbreaking classics, nostalgic coming-of-age stories, and downright terrifying nightmares, there's something here for every horror-loving reader.

📚 The five spooky books we're diving into:

🐺 When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy — A beautiful, weird, twisty blend of horror and sci-fi.

🕯️ The Turn of the Screw by Henry James — A haunting, dark classic that broke my heart.

🚲 The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson — A spooky coming-of-age story with a serious Stand by Me vibe.

🪱 The Troop by Nick Cutter — Old-school horror that scared the heck out of me.

🏠 Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman — A terrifying story that hits differently when you're a dad and all you can think about is protecting your kids.

I'll share spoiler-free summaries, my personal thoughts, and why I think these books deserve a spot on your spooky-season reading list.

And, of course, we're making time for another edition of Dad Life Debrief, because life as a dad is its own kind of horror story sometimes. 😂

🎧 Have a spooky book recommendation of your own? Send it my way! I'm always looking for something new to read… even if it means leaving the lights on afterward.
