With Halloween quickly approaching, now is the perfect time to break out a favorite frightening book from our High School collection, or check out a few new ones.

I just finished reading Daughters Unto Devils by Amy Lukavics, a book that I picked up almost immediately after hearing it described as Little House on the Prairie meets Steven King (eek!).

In this short, but terrifying, debut novel Amanda and her family decide to move from their isolated small mountain cabin to the prairies after a nearly deadly winter spent snowed in.

Shortly after the move, Amanda begins to hear voices and have visions of demons. She is not sure if these hauntings are real or imagined...until it is too late! It was so deliciously frightening that it had me itching for my next scary read.
