Happy Tuesday, friends! Today is a Halloween freebie over at That Artsy Reader Girl‘s weekly linkup so I decided to do a spooky covers edition of cover love đ
These covers are deliciously gothic and/or chill-inducing, promising a thrilling read that will have you turning on all the lights. Grays and browns, reds and blues. Muted colors. Hazy images. Shadows. Suspense novels. Thrillers. Speculative Fiction. Today’s cover love post is a mix of all of these elements, swirling through the foggy evenings and cozy nights of autumn to draw you into reads that won’t let you go.

What about you? Which of these spooky covers most grabs your attention? What traits do these covers have in common? Which of these books have you read? Which ones are you adding to your TBR list?
Jaime’s are always so atmospheric, which fits nicely with this time of year, and Abigail’s have a kind of “light” Gothic feel to them. Oh, and that title alone of Carrie Stuart Parks novel, *shudder* That’s a bit spooky!
These are so good! Favorite cover? The House on Foster Hill. Favorite book? No Less Days. That one just blew me away!
This is a fun take on the topic, and a great collection of covers! I think Joanna’s is the only one I’ve read, but I hope to read Jaime’s soon! đ

Some good books here . I love Ted Dekker’s books and have read a few of the books on this list. I also have Rachelle and Ted Dekker’s latest to read on my Kindle to read.
I’ve done my Top Ten Mystery reads.
i liked Killer Exposure by Jessica Patch a very good suspense story
Ooh definitely some cool, atmospheric covers here. Very spooky!

I adore the cover for Lady Jayne Disappears.
My TTT.
I like Frank Peretti. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/
I’m scared, Mommy!
These look good! I’ve only read The House on Foster Hill, so I have some catching up to do!
These are all super creepy. There’s something about a foggy/misty forest that is so disturbing. You just don’t know what’s going to be lurking behind it.
I have read about half of them. . . . and I would add shadows and fog to my list of necessary ingredients for a spooky cover . . . makes you wonder what’s beyond the veil. I would love to read “Keeping Guard” by Christy Barritt, I have never seen that one. I love her books.
Oh, gosh, I love so many of these covers! They are so simple but so, so effective! Just the right amount of spooky goodness and intrigue. Totally great for autumn nights. Swoon.
I love the cover of The House On Foster Hill. Itâs so spooky that I always have to stop scrolling and look at it.
Ooooh, most of these are new to me, but so very atmospheric!
