    The 10 Most Popular Horror Books on Libby


    If you are looking for horror books to add to your TBR for the official start of Spooky Month, Libby has shared with us the most popular horror books checked out last month across the North American public library Space.

    The list is full of great bestsellers and very popular horror books—there’s even a classic that was first published 128 years ago—but if you would also like horror written by people with different perspectives, here’s a post on recent BIPOC horror books to read this year.

    It includes South Korean ghost stories (The Midnight Timetable: A Novel in Ghost Stories by Bora Chung, translated by Anton Hur), Nigeria-set horror (Futility by Nuzo Onoh), historical horror (Fiend by Alma Katsu), and a gothic romantasy novella (But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo). There’s also Indigenous horror (The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones) and gruesome dark academia (The Library at Hellebore by Cassandra Khaw).

    Below are the 10 most popular horror books on Libby.

    5. Dracula by Bram Stoker

    From the publisher:

    Dracula is an 1897 novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, featuring as its primary antagonist the vampire Count Dracula.

    Dracula has been attributed to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of diary entries and letters. Literary critics have examined many themes in the novel, such as the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and conservative sexuality, immigration, colonialism, postcolonialism and folklore. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel’s influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for many theatrical and film interpretations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
