Horror genre

This next week, I will be recommending various books to students, 3rd-6th grade, in the genre of "Horror"- just in time for Halloween!
No picks will be too gruesome, but our students do love the Goosebumps books, so I will try to recommend some other choices that they might like as well. Here are a few of the books I will be book talking:


Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery by James and Deborah Howe (4th)
The Midnight Library: Voices by Damien Graves (4th)
James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl (4th)
Coraline by Neil Gaiman (5th)
The Robe of Skulls by Vivian French (5th)
The Doll in the Garden: A Ghost Story by Mary Downing (5th)
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (6th)
Tales of Terror and Fantasy by Edgar Allan Poe (6th)
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (6th)
