Grave Errors by Carol J. Perry - This is another book that takes place around Halloween - in Salem, no less - and with the spooky cemetery, arched back cat and full moon it looks like the perfect Halloween read.
The Enchanted Castle by E. Nesbit - The colors on the cover just scream fall to me though the book really doesn't have much to do with the season.
Death in Abstract by Emily Barnes - If I remember right this book actually takes place during the winter but with all that fall foliage in the back the cover at least says fall.
Send in the Clowns by Julie Mulhern - Another fall foliage book and this one involves a masked figure lying in a leaf pile. The book has a haunted house, trick or treating, and of course clowns!
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson - Everything about this book is Halloween-y. The creepy house, the bare branches and the glowing orange sky.
Cider Brook by Carla Neggers - The barn, the leaves, the title. Really the word "cider" is enough to make me think fall.
Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie - The pumpkin, the color, the full moon and then there's the title!
A Killer Crop by Sheila Connolly - The whole cover just screams fall harvest (even without looking at the sign!). It makes me want to sip apple cider and pick out a pumpkin.
So apparently Halloween themed covers are a strong pull for me when looking for covers that say fall. What do you look for? Any favorite fall covers?
I LOVE that cover for Halloween Party- looks a little spooky and so atmospheric, just like a late October evening. :) And I picked A Killer crop too- that one is just fun. Send in the clowns is awesome to of course!
ReplyDeleteI love the Send in the Clowns cover - screams fall!! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely agree with that cover of The Haunting of Hill House, and the story itself is definitely one to cosy down with of an autumnal evening.
ReplyDeleteI like your choices, Katherine! Halloween themed covers make me think of Autumn, too. And the oranges and browns make me think of Autumn covers.
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of these. I had a bit of a hard time finding books for this week. A Killer Crop is so fallish!!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh these covers are so cute! love the cover of Send in the Clowns. Makes me think of jumping in the leaves as a kid!

Great fallish TTT! The Enchanted Castle, Haunting of Hill House, and Hallowe'en Party covers especially scream fall to me.

The Haunting of Hill looks really good, but there are several other great choices as well. Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteSend in the Clowns certainly has a Fall look to the cover.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a big scared-y cat that I will probably have bad dreams just from looking at the cover of Hill House! I love the look of all those scary books...but from far away.
ReplyDeleteSo Send in the Clowns is the next one on that series for me and now you just made me bump it up as it sounds like the perfect cozy for this time of year. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is such a creeptastic tale. I love your choices.
ReplyDeleteCider Brook and A Killer Crop just scream fall. I love both of those covers!! I don't like scary so much. I'm a weenie.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list with a mix of creepy and fun. I love the Send in the Clowns cover. All the books in that series are great and I need to start the series soon.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that Agatha Christie wrote a book specific to Halloween? That's great! I included some of both, fall colors and spooky, on my TTT, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI do feel like Halloween covers would be the easiest ones to find for a fall mood - most books don't really seem to have fall-like covers to me.
