🌿 Southern Gothic Reads For Halloween

🌿 October, to me, is all about hiking amidst autumn foliage and then curling up at home with a rich, atmospheric story.

The Southern Gothic genre is brimming with mysterious novels, plays, and short stories which have been turned into films.

Whether you choose to read, listen, or watch, here are eight of my favorites:

• Beasts Of the Southern Wild (from Lucy Alibar’s play Juicy and Delicious) ~ Film | Play

• The Beguiled, Thomas Cullinan ~ Book | Film

• Beloved, Toni Morrison ~ Book | Film

• The Long, Hot Summer (based on three William Faulkner stories: Spotted Horses, Barn Burning, and The Hamlet) ~ Film

• Midnight In the Garden Of Good and Evil ~ Book | Film

• To Kill a Mockingbird ~ Book | Film

• A Time To Kill, John Grisham ~ Book | Film

What spooky books and films do you like watching this time of year?
