19 Best Horror Books and Scary Novels

Vanessa Castro moved to Washington to escape her own scandalous past but quickly finds herself wrapped up in a new nightmare. A twisted killer has started haunting the town’s main attraction, an amusement park, and on her first day as deputy police chief, a dead body is found inside the park. The more Vanessa learns, the more dangerous the town becomes, and the more connected a past string of murders seems. If you love carnival horror, you’ll love Jennifer Hillier’s “Wonderland” ($26).
