Can you recommend adult fiction books that are suitable for Halloween?
Anne Rice's 'Interview with the Vampire' is a popular adult fiction for Halloween. It offers a different take on the vampire genre, exploring their emotions, desires, and the long - lived existence of these undead creatures. It's a more complex and somewhat romanticized view of vampires compared to some traditional horror stories.
I would also suggest 'The Exorcist' by William Peter Blatty. It's a terrifying account of demonic possession. The vivid descriptions of the possessed girl and the battle against the evil spirit make it a very intense read for Halloween.
