Halloween Reads for Teens
I am an avid YA book reader. Yes, even as fully grown adult, it's about all I read. Young adult fiction has appeal far beyond the teen years. The concepts are often very interesting to a reader like me who likes escapist fiction, fantasy and dystopian tales, but the themes are universal. Who doesn't remember how awkward the teen years are and how finding love, finding a purpose in life, a direction can be your whole world? These themes still hold up in YA horror and thrillers as well. Imagine trying to get a date with your crush while also coming to grips with the fact that you may be a zombie. Sounds like fun. I've picked some recent spooky stories published in the past year that are sure to appeal to your teens this fall.
