If you are looking for a scary read for the Halloween season, Hannah-Beast by Jennifer McMahon (one of my favorite authors) definitely fits the bill.
A short story that is part of Amazon's Dark Corners series, Hannah-Beast expertly cuts between the past and present. Thirty-four years ago, a group made a decision. Thirty-four years ago, Hannah was sent on a scavenger hunt with dire repercussions.
In the present, a member of that fateful group is now a mother. She is triggered every time she sees a costume that reminds her of that night, and must fight both her inner demons and those that threaten her from outside on one terrifying Halloween night.
When I say terrifying, I mean terrifying. This story is so scary. It builds and builds until it's at that delicious almost unbearable point that comes with great horror, and then the absolutely haunting ending leaves you reeling.
