Get Ready for Summer Nights With Some Scary Beach Reads

May 2, 2018

I don't know about you guys, but summer is definitely not my ideal time of year. 

Between the longer days, the hotter weather, the brighter colors, and the general giddiness of the people around me, I just want to crawl back into my crypt and not come out until the first autumn leaf hits the ground. Unfortunately I can't but I have a few suggestions for books that will help keep a chill in your spine.

Dread Nation by Justina Ireland

This alternate history tale imagines that the dead rose up from the battlefield at Gettysburg, resulting in laws that force black, Native American, and mixed-race children to devote themselves to anti-zombie combat. One young woman caught up in this grim reality secretly plans a better life for herself—until she’s caught up in a conspiracy even scarier than the rampaging undead.

One Way by S.J. Morden

A crew of workers—all ex-cons—constructing a new base on Mars start falling victim to deadly “accidents” that don’t quite add up. Can the remaining astronauts (including the savviest among them, a former architect who did time for murder) figure out who’s picking them off before they’re all laid to waste?

Unbury Carol by Josh Malerman

A woman with an odd condition—her many “deaths” over time are actually deep comas from which she eventually awakens—is caught between the two men in her life: her unscrupulous husband and the outlaw who truly loves her. And, of course, she’s also caught between the world of the living and the world of the dead, a place she’s determined to fight her way out of once and for all.

The Hunger by Alma Katsu

Everybody knows about the Donner Party, the real-life wagon train that infamously turned to cannibalism when they were unexpectedly snowed in and their rations ran out. But what if, as this book imagines, there was something supernatural that also played a part in that fateful journey? Something evil, perhaps?

Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi

A man in US-occupied Baghdad puzzles together a corpse from body parts he finds in the streets—intending to make a political statement, but accidentally creating a monster that hungers for human flesh. A hit overseas, Saadawi’s book has already won the International Prize for Arabic Fiction and France’s Grand Prize for Fantasy.

Strange Weather: Four Short Novels by Joe Hill

The author of The Fireman presents four terrifying tales, exploring such horrors as: a Polaroid camera with supernatural powers; a skydiver who gets trapped by a hostile cloud; a storm that dumps a deluge of deadly glass nails instead of rain; and a near-miss mass shooting in a shopping mall.
