10 Haunted Reads for September: The Haunted Places Online Book Fair

If your September reading plans involve haunted places, ghost stories, supernatural dread, and at least one book that makes you reconsider walking past a dark doorway, I found you a very convenient problem. 😂

The Haunted Places Online Book Fair is coming

The Haunted Places Online Book Fair brings together ten horror reads centered around haunted houses, ghosts, supernatural horror, and places that probably should have been left alone. It runs September 1 through September 30.

And yes, The Listener is in there 🖤

The Listener is my psychological horror novel about childhood secrets, unreliable memories, supernatural suspense, and a missing girl who emerges from a place that should not have been able to give her back. So naturally, sending it into a haunted-places book fair felt extremely reasonable.

If you already read The Listener, this is also a good excuse to go hunting for your next creepy read. One of my favorite things about these BookFunnel events is getting a whole shelf of indie books in front of readers at once instead of making everybody wander the internet with a flashlight.

Some doors shouldn’t be opened.

Open them anyway. 😂
