I love Ray Bradbury's books. I haven't read "Something Wicked This Way Comes" in decades. I need to load it on my Kindle and read it again. I highly recommend this book for those that like fantasy.

For some historic horror reading....

Not sure if there is a good book about them....but the Bender Family in Kansas circa the early 1870s were scary.

Also anything about the Bell Witch of Tennessee is worth a look / read.
I think the Bell Witch "case" is the only one , at least here in America where a entity of some sort is implicated in the killing of someone.

I read a lot of horror and recently read "The King in Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers, however, I think I'm going to reread Salem's Lot by Stephen King as the remake is being released October 8th via Cinemax streaming. Check out the trailer if you haven't seen it.

May also reread Stoker's "Dracula" again since Robert Eggers "Nosferatu" is releasing in December, for which I'm really excited.
