Fall is almost upon us! This is my favorite season of the year in general, but also my favorite time for reading. There’s always a plethora of titles being released for the season, many of which are perfect for Halloween and even the Christmas Horror subgenre. I always have so much fun putting together my Fall reading recommendations not only because of all the new titles I’m anticipating, but also so I can look back on what was released earlier in the year and read anything I might have missed.

Below are some titles — with accompanying links to the print, ebooks, and audiobooks editions — that I personally am looking forward to this Fall, presented here in order of release date, starting with those releasing in September 2023. After this main list, I’ve included some titles that came out earlier this year that you might have missed that would be appropriate to read this Fall. At the end, I included recommendations for themed Cookbooks, Crafts, Guides, Coloring Books Sourcebooks, and Tarot Decks that would be great to dive into during the spooky season.

The first trailer for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the upcoming film based on the Seth Grahame-Smith novel of the same name, has been released.

Watch the trailer, which is the UK version, here below. The U.S. version, which likely won’t be much different, is scheduled to be released very soon.

The story, based on the horror mash-up from Quirk Books, is a take on Jane Austen’s Regency classic Pride and Prejudice, centering on the Bennett sisters — Elizabeth (Lily James), Lydia (Ellie Bamber), Mary (Millie Brady), Jane (Bella Heathcote), and Kitty (Suki Waterhouse).

Last October, we got the first look at main stars of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s horror-classics mash-up of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. That first photo featured the Bennett sisters — Elizabeth (Lily James), Lydia (Ellie Bamber), Mary (Millie Brady), Jane (Bella Heathcote), and Kitty (Suki Waterhouse) — ready to do battle against zombies in pre-Victorian-era England.

Now, new images from the upcoming film have been released via EW. Check them out here below in the image gallery.

Today sees the release of the new Quirk Books title Jane Austen Cover to Cover: 200 Years of Classic Covers in hardcover and for the Kindle and it’s a real treat for Jane Austen fans.

The 224-page mini coffee table book boasts over 200 color reproductions of various covers of Jane Austen books along with in depth commentary by Margaret C. Sullivan, author of The Jane Austen Handbook and founder of AustenBlog.com. Covers for literary classics like Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and many more are featured.

One of the most memorable “speeches” that’s come out of AMC’s Breaking Bad is the one Walter White (Bryan Cranston) gives about being “The One Who Knocks.”

Now, McSweeney’s has posted what Walt’s speech would have been if it had been written by famous authors like Edgar Allan Poe, George R.R. Martin, J.K. Rowling, Dr. Seuss, and more.

I’ve listed a few from my favorite authors here below, along with a video of the scene from Breaking Bad (where Walt also says another popular quote, “I am the danger”).
