Happy October Eve!!! It’s Time!!!

October 1 is tomorrow, and there are so many good new releases I want to share with you to kick off the best month of the year! First up, one of my most anticipated horror novels of the year: Model Home. Back when the Maxwell family moved into a gated community outside of Dallas, Texas, they were the only Black family in the neighborhood. Their white neighbors seemed welcoming enough, but immediately upon moving in, strange things began happening all around the Maxwell’s house. Now, years later, the three Maxwell children are adults, and they do their best to stay far, far away from the traumas of their past. But their parents never left the family home, and when the siblings get word that their parents have died, Ezri, Eve, and Emanuelle are forced to return to Dallas and to the home that has always terrified them.

Here’s a new middle grade horror that looks like a lot of fun! Jasmine Garza has been followed by a ghost ever since her Papi died. When she and her Mami move to East Hollywood, Jasmine hopes this will be a chance to escape her ghost and live a normal life. Instead, she meets Bea Veracruz and Jorge Barrera, two classmates who not only believe in the supernatural but also believe their friend Jasmine when she tells them she’s being haunted by a ghost. They’re ready to help her prove to the world just how real this ghost is.

I can’t get enough of all the October 1st releases, so here’s another one for you. This supernatural horror novel has it all. Seances. Haunted houses. Evil spirits out for blood. You get the idea. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a child, Nicola never thought she was going to make it to adulthood. But now, against all odds, she’s an adult in her 30s, happily married. That is, until her husband dies in a horrible car crash. Before he dies, he whispers the words, “I’ll be waiting for you.” From that moment on, Nicola feels haunted, and spiritualists are knocking on her door hoping to help her find closure.
