Autumn is my favorite time of year. The weather is cooler, the leaves are changing colors, and Halloween is just around the corner. In honor of all things that go bump in the night, I have seven spooky reads for you. From time-traveling wizards to ghosts and werewolves. These are all on my TBR List.

She receives unexpected help from a part-time worker who pops up out of nowhere. Suzie proves to have an almost magical gift for the craft of artisanal ice cream, yet she acts clueless about some ordinary details of everyday life.

What Margaret loves about this time of year: Since I specialize in vampires, having written many vampire novels and stories as well as nonfiction books and articles about vampires in literature, naturally I'm a big fan of Halloween.
