HarperCollins Publishers have released some wonderfully frightful pre-teen Halloween Books. You will want to make sure you stock up on these books because it doesn’t matter if it is passed the Halloween time of year when you read them! If your pre-teen enjoys a suspenseful story, they will definitely enjoy these books below.
For the Middle pre-teen (ages 8-12) I have some great books below-

Curiosity House: The Shrunken Head by Lauren Oliver and H.C. Chester (Volume 1)
This book is a new middle-grade series about four orphans with exceptional abilities. They live in a museum of Wonders, Oddities, and freaks. They are out to solve a string of murders. This shocking new series takes the unique storytelling gifts of Lauren Oliver with the great knowledge of the popular relics collector H.C. Chester.
This one is truly a ‘keep you on your toes” storyline.

The Zombie Chasers #7: World Zombination by John Kloepfer
The number seven is known to be a lucky number, so it would be fitting that this book is the final one of this series. In the beloved Zombie Chasers series, Zack Clarke and his zombie-fighting team travel across the world in search of a remedy that will stop the gobbling of brains outbreak once and for all. With all the middle school funny-business, fast-moving adventure, and the comical black-and-white drawings that have made this series a favorite of uncertain readers everywhere, The Zombie Chasers #7: World Zombination is a boisterous, gore-streaked finale that readers will love! Set in Madagascar, Egypt, and even China it’s the zombie chasers best adventure to date.

These sound great. I had to smile when I read the name R.L.Stine. I loved the Goosebump series as a kid.

i suppose the basis for many classic fairytales were frightening in first tellings.

These sound so much fun! I'll have to check these out for my daughter. We love getting seasonal stuff for the kids and seasonal books make it easy to get in daily reading homework for school :)
