Four students shared some scary stories fitting for the Halloween season.

“The Cellar” by Natasha Preston

“This book genuinely gave me nightmares and made me scared to walk alone at night.”

– Alice Graham (11)

“Asylum” by Madeline Roux and “Took” by Mary Downing Hahn

“I really like the suspense within these books and how they really immerse someone in an easy-to-follow and memorable way.”

-Sophia Bourque (11)

“1984” by George Orwell

“1984 is a very comprehensive novel that envisions the conventions of the future, as a consequence of technological advancements. Currently living in the modern world, the depictions showcased by [the] novel, can be seen to share a coincidence with our current society such as AI. In the book, although explicitly not stated as AI, Orwell uses terms such as Telescreen which relates to the algorithms and uses of AI in our world today.”

-Sushaant Harish (11)

The Sisters Grimm Series by Michael Buckley

“I really liked how it was a part of a fantasy land, and I really like true crime. So, this series combined both within a single book cover. That reminds me, I should go read the books, it’s been a while.”

-Savannah Bennett (11)
