Book Panel: Spooky stories
The Prince George Public Library's Andrea Palmer and Erin Pfliger make up Daybreak's monthly book panel. Up for discussion this week: spooky stories, and why we like to be scared.
Books discussed (click on the covers to find them on Goodreads):
The Shining by Stephen King: One of the classics that our panel thinks might be scarier in book from.
My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf: A graphic novel that is definitely not for kids-- a haunting memoir of growing up with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
White Horse by Alex Adams: A woman on a quest might not sound scary, but when the backdrop is the end of the world, it it adds some fright.
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson: It may be old, but it's still chilling.
Ghosts Caught on Film: Photographs of the Paranormal by Dr. Melvyn Willin: Photographs of ghosts.
The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman: The hit TV series started as this dark graphic novel.
