Weird & Spooky Summertime Reads 2026
Spare time to read in the woods, beach or backyard? Check out these book suggestions from our personal library... It may be late July with Fall just down the road, but there’s no better time than now to grab a book. Over the years, we've acquired many books concerning the paranormal, ghost stories, cryptids, and the occult. Our night stand reading pile, and overflowing bookshelves is a testament to how much we read for pleasure and research. Next year, my wife and I will be celebrating a quarter century together and we have a TON of books.
