An obsession with social media and far-right news programs sends an average American family into a downward spiral, causing mass hysteria and an epidemic of supernatural proportions in Clay McLeod Chapman‘s daring new social horror Wake Up and Open Your Eyes.

Fall is here! It’s my favorite season and time for reading. There’s always great titles being released for the spooky season that are perfect for Halloween, as well as with other books, accessories, and more! Putting together this list of Fall reading recommendations is always so much fun because I get to find new titles to anticipate and also I can look back on what was released earlier in the year and catch up on 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 2024. 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, along with those titles getting their paperback edition release this year. At the end, I included recommendations for themed Cookbooks, Crafts, Guides, Coloring Books, Sourcebooks, Card Sets, Journals, and Accessories that make for great fun as well.

What Kind of Mother
Hardcover | Kindle | Audiobook
By Clay McLeod Chapman
Publisher: Quirk Books
Release Date: September 12, 2023

My grandma always says, “Where there’s a thought, there’s an image; where there’s an image, there’s an event.” If, like Grandma, you believe that thought projection leads to manifestation, then the events of What Kind of Mother will make perfect sense to you. If not, then when you get through the last third of this book by Clay McLeod Chapman, you’ll probably be like, “What the hell did I just read?!” Actually, you might think that either way, because wow does this story take a wild turn.

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.
