‘Tis the season for haunts and horror. I hope you’ve found something chilling to sink your teeth into this October. I’ve been reading a few classics, and it got me to thinking about why we return to certain stories over and over again. A great story stays with you for a long time. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes a book memorable. Maybe it’s a combination of quality writing, epic plotting, or that all-too-special and unique voice. It’s hard to say for sure, but we all know it when we read it. Here are a few of my favorites. I’d love to hear from you. Let me know what you’re reading.
