9 Haunting Horror Novels for Kindle ...

I do love a good horror book, and having recently bought myself a Kindle Paperwhite, I thought it was a great opportunity to share with you some of my favorite horror novels for Kindle. Even if you don't have an e-reader, you'll be able to find many of these books in paperback format on Amazon or at your local bookshop. Here are 9 haunting horror novels for Kindle - you might want to read these with the lights on!
I guess itβs more of a ghost story than a horror novel, but I loved The Small Hand. It tells the story of an antiquarian bookseller who discovers an abandoned Edwardian house. I wonβt tell you any more as youβll need to find out what happens for yourself, but this is definitely one of my favorite horror novels for Kindle β I recommend reading it during daylight hours!
What would you do if you bought something on eBay that was haunted? I guess youβd try to give it back to the seller, but what if you couldnβt? Thatβs the main premise of Joe Hillβs terrifying novel Heart Shaped Box. To say more about the story would spoil it, but this is one which will stay with you, so donβt read it if youβre alone!
I downloaded this recently on impulse, after enjoying The Small Hand. Itβs short at 160 pages long but itβs well worth reading. The author of The Woman in Black has created another really creepy ghost story here, and if youβre looking for a tale of mystery and intrigue, this is for you!
This is currently being made into a film, which I canβt wait to see β fans of Guillermo del Toroβs movies and Stephen King books will love The Strain trilogy. This is the first book in the trilogy about a vampire plague β pretty scary stuff!
You might have seen the recent film release β a friend got me the book a while back and itβs definitely one I want to keep on Kindle. I would describe it as more of a horror comedy β lots of zombies taking over the world but with a romance at the heart of the story; I love it.
Another Joe Hill novel (heβs a great writer!) this is a collection of haunting, creepy short stories. Great for reading on your morning commute or dipping in and out of when you donβt have time to sit and read a novel. βPop Artβ is one of my favorites.
This ghost story, set in the 1930s, will stay with you long after you turn out the lights. This was an impulse buy for me on Kindle, and I definitely donβt regret it. If youβre a fan of Susan Hill, youβll love Michelle Paverβs books, and in my opinion this is one of her best!
Billed as βBritainβs answer to Stephen Kingβ, us Brits have certainly given author Adam Nevill a lot to live up to, and he doesnβt disappoint with House of Small Shadows. A horror story about a puppeteer and taxidermist with an abandoned house thrown into the mix β what could be more spooky? I read this with the lights on, but if youβre feeling brave you might want to hide under the covers with it!
I have this in paperback and now on my Kindle too and I have to say, itβs one of my favorite books. I guess itβs a historical horror β sort of like a new retelling of the Dracula story, but with a difference. Itβs very well written, haunting and absolutely unputdownable! I read it from cover to cover twice!
Hopefully this has given you a few titles you want to add to your Kindle wishlist, or purchase right now. Horror stories are great winter reading with a cozy cup of tea or hot chocolate β make sure you donβt get too scared! What are some of your favorite horror novels?
