Must-Read Gothic Romance Books for Spooky Season
Looking for the perfect October reads? Discover must-read gothic romance books to add to your spooky season TBR.
Gothic romance is more than a genre it’s a whole mood. When the air turns colder (even if only in our imaginations because we’re based in Dubai, UAE), we find ourselves reaching for books that are going to give us some gothic, eerie, spooky vibes.
In all seriousness, we look forward to our Fall reading list all year round and often start planning our TBR lists as early as July 😅
Spooky season makes us want to wrap ourselves in a blanket, a cosy drink in hand with moody, atmospheric romance books that have us falling headfirst into a world of secrets, curses, and irresistible danger.
We’ve rounded up our favourite gothic romances to fill your October TBR. Whether you’re new to gothic fantasy, dark academia or if you’re already deep in your “brooding man in a castle” era, these are the books we can’t stop thinking about!
Hopefully you find one (or a few) that are the perfect companions for your fall reading season 🖤
If you’re craving more than dark castles and forbidden kisses, our Ultimate October TBR List post has you covered.
From small-town halloween romcoms, thrilling dark romances (including masked men with questionable morals), and a whole host of paranormal love interests, we’ve got your spooky season reading list sorted!
