Top 10 Tuesday — Serial Killers

29 Oct

Happy Halloween TTT! Today’s freebie is courtesy of the letters S and K, which stand for SERIAL KILLERS! I have been posting a Halloween TTT for years now and have exhausted all the hooks I can think of. So today I am listing books that feature serial killers. I know it seems extreme to choose this theme, but Halloween movies almost always involve some knife/chainsaw/gun-wielding killer. But rest assured, the killers in the books listed are (eventually) taken care of.

      I know! In my TBR Universe! I was a bit worried about featuring serial killers, but there sure are a lot of CF authors writing about them!

    Thanks for the mention of False Pretense! I enjoy writing serial killer books–not sure what that says about me. LOL!

    Great list!! I wouldn’t say I am a horror reader, but I do read a lot of serial killer books, LOL! But, still not horror, just suspense with a touch of horror.

      I am pretty selective when it comes to “horror”. Must be CF. That limits the options.

    I haven’t read these, but I’m glad that the killers in these books are taken care of in the end! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

    I’ve actually been avoiding serial killer books lately. They’re a little too dark for me. I agree that they are Halloween staples, though!

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

    I don’t read any kind of horror apart from more wholesome middle grades, but your list looks interesting!
