The horror genre is wide ranging and though some of the more gruesome adult horror books might not be suitable for children, we’ve put together a list of young adult horror books that are not only great reads, but entirely suitable spine chillers for younger readers to enjoy.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
Coldtown is a place that you can never leave. Once you pass through the walled gate of the city, you are trapped there with the vampires that are being quarantined there and their human prey. Tana is a girl that wakes up one morning surrounded by corpses. The only things left alive in the room are her, her infected ex-boyfriend and a restrained vampire. Knowing her ex might turn into a vampire, Tana goes with him to Coldtown to get through the infection without drinking any human blood.
Diary of a Haunting by M Verano
Paige’s parents have just been through a very high profile divorce, so she and her mom move to Idaho to start a new life. Paige isn’t exactly thrilled by the idea and when her mom rents an old mansion, she is convinced it is the worst thing that has ever happened to her. Yet, there is worse waiting for her. The mansion is a house of horrors and the story is told through the diary, photos and letters that Paige has left behind.
Ten by Gretchen McNeil
This young adult horror book is one that draws on Agatha Christie for inspiration. Using the idea from her classic murder mystery, And Then There Were None, McNeil brings ten privileged teens to an island, which is very remote, for a party. But this is no ordinary party, it is a cover-up for revenge and the ten start to be murdered one by one.
