Suspenseful, Hauntingly Fearful Young Adult Fright Night Favorites From HarperCollins

The enjoyment of suspense, fear and all things frightful is enjoyed by many young adults and adults alike. These four books are just some of the many books offered on Harper Collins Publishers. The books I am sharing are for ages 14 and up unless otherwise noted.

Catacomb by Madeleine Roux

Catacomb by Madeleine Roux – $17.99 Hardcover

This book is the final of the New York Times bestselling Asylum series (Asylum and Sanctum the first two books). This series is perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

Catacomb is a story that tells about Dan, Jordan, and Abby while they take a road trip to New Orleans. Here they will encounter a mysterious group of robbers. But they aren’t your normal robbers, these are grave robbers. And what makes this even more creepy is what they use the stolen bones for.

Midnight Dolls by Kiki Sullivan

Midnight Dolls by Kiki Sullivan – $9.99 (ages 13+)

Another interesting book that will most likely attract your Pretty Little Liars fans crossed with Beautiful Creatures. This book is a gripping follow-up to Kiki Sullivan’s THE DOLLS. A steamy Southern Soap opera about a group of the age old powerful teen voodoo queens.

And as the revelations about her past continue to unfold, Eveny begins to realize that she might just be the only one who can save them all.

Watch as Eveny Cheval fights for the people and the town she loves—and for her own life

The Tattooed Heart: A Messenger of Fear Novel by Michael Grant

The Tattooed Heart: A Messenger of Fear Novel by Michael Grant – $17.99

Continue the games in this New York Times bestselling author Michael Grant’s sequel to Messenger of Fear—a hauntingly eerie tale for fans of Stephen King that brings together fantasy with real-world horror stories.

This book of Michael Grant’s is another haunting tale about the Messenger of Fear and his apprentice Mara. You will enjoy this tale with a nice twist of terror.

As it says on the cover…”Be Afraid. It’s fright fiction at its best”…-R.L. Stine

This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzi Lee

This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzi Lee – $17.99 (Ages 13+)

This book is a creative Gothic fantasy which is the retelling of Frankenstein.

This Monstrous Thing is a wholly new reimagining of the classic novel by Mary Shelley. It is perfect for fans of recounting such as Cinder by Marissa Meyer, fantasy by Libba Bray and Cassandra Clare, and alternative history by Scott Westerfeld.

In a different fantasy world where some men are made from clockwork parts and carriages are steam powered, Alasdair Finch, a young mechanic, does the unthinkable after his brother dies: he uses clockwork pieces to bring Oliver back from the dead. This made me not as freaked out as Frankenstein did, but it still is the fact that he was trying to resurrect his brother.

But to no surprise, the resurrection does not go as planned. Oliver returns more monster than man. Even worse, the novel Frankenstein is published and the townsfolk are determined to find the real-life doctor and his monster. With few places to turn for help, the dangers may ultimately bring the brothers together—or ruin them forever. This is one book you will not want to miss if you enjoyed Frankenstein. It is a great combination of fantasy, history, and classic literature all lumped into one great book.

I'd consider this adolescent vs adult reading since high school kids usually 14-18 aren't legal until most graduate.
