Great Halloween Reads!!!
I write a lot of horror, paranormal, and thrillers by virtue of my nature. I have also written my fair share on the topic of necromancy. What a better time of year than October to recommend some of my scarier books (or necromantic reads for those into my NF) to readers who want something to read this Halloween/Samhain/Day of the Dead…
