the ultimate fall reading list 🍂 30 books you NEED to read this fall

the next vampire novel I have to recommend is of course a dowy of blood but I did really love this nonetheless it's dark it's twisted it's seductive and romantic

I have to mention a study and drowning this is technically now the first in a series she's writing a second book but you can definitely read this book on its own I love this story it was so atmospheric

we have of course none other than Babble by RF kuang I will say that as time has gone on I do like this book a little bit less than I did the first time that I read it

I have a book that I've heard very few people mention and that is a dreadful Splendor this is a Gothic murder mystery novel that is also a romance novel it's really fun

this is a book I read last year for the first time and I was blown away by how much I loved it I understand why she is considered the mother of Science Fiction and Gothic Horror in some ways too I can't recommend this enough

I read one recently that I really loved and that is Ghost Roots this was on my fall TBR that I made for myself of the books I mentioned I want to read and I finally read this and I really loved it

I have to mention one of my favorite short story Collections and just one of my favorite books of all time and that is her body and other parties I've talked about this book so many times

we have one of my favorite books read this year and just a new favorite in general I loved this book so much this is a perfect Gothic horror novel in every way

I absolutely had to recommend parable of the sewer by Octavia Butler again you can read this at any time of the year but it's just the right amount of disturbing that it feels almost like a horror book

I finally read it this year and I loved this book so much an absolute all-time favorite now and that is pessi this is unlike anything I have ever read in the best way possible

I always have to recommend Rebecca by Daphne dorier one of my all-time favorites this book is mysterious and a little bit haunting

that is of course the night Circus by Aaron Morganstern you all know this is one of my favorite books of all time if not still my favorite book of all time

my favorite classic of all time I have to mention the one and only The Picture of Dorian Gray This Book is one of the blueprints for modern Gothic horror

I have to mention the starless sea another one of my favorite books of all time Aaron Morgan Stern just knows how to write exactly my favorite type of fantasy novel

lastly of course I have to recommend another one of my favorite books ever and that is the secret society of irregular witches this is much more classically a romance novel

I don't remember anything about vengeful and I didn't care that much like I liked it but it's nowhere near as good as vicious

that is vicious by V Schwab this is still probably my favorite V ewab book and I still think it's her best book

I have a book that is probably to this day still the strangest reading experience I've ever had in my entire life and that is vostra there is literally no way to describe this book to anybody

we have what moves the dead by te king fisher this is a retelling or reimagining of Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar alen Poe which I mentioned earlier this is a very short novel

we have what I consider at least for now still my favorite vampire novel I've ever read and that is woman eating it's so different from anything else but I just found it so fascinating and so well done

this was my favorite book of all time for a very long time I know how very bellais Swan of me but I loved this book
