Read it before you see it - Mortal Engines

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve

"It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea."

The great traction city London has been skulking in the hills to avoid the bigger, faster, hungrier cities loose in the Great Hunting Ground. But now, the sinister plans of Lord Mayor Mangus Crome can finally unfold.

Thaddeus Valentine, London's Head Historian and adored famous archaeologist, and his lovely daughter, Katherine, are down in The Gut when the young assassin with the black scarf strikes toward his heart, saved by the quick intervention of Tom, a lowly third-class apprentice. Racing after the fleeing girl, Tom suddenly glimpses her hideous face: scarred from forehead to jaw, nose a smashed stump, a single eye glaring back at him. "Look at what your Valentine did to me!" she screams. "Ask him! Ask him what he did to Hester Shaw!" And with that she jumps down the waste chute to her death. Minutes later Tom finds himself tumbling down the same chute and stranded in the Out-Country, a sea of mud scored by the huge caterpillar tracks of cities like the one now steaming off over the horizon.

Ceepy reads for Halloween

There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins

Classic slasher horror (someone is killing teens off in gruesome ways around Halloween) but with a bonus love story.

Read it if you want a lighter horror story but don't mind it getting gory.







What the Woods Keep by Katya de Becerra

A supernatural horror story. A mysterious past, a mother that disappeared a decade ago, and a creepy house. A crossover Science Fiction-Fantasy-Mystery.

Read it if you want an atmospheric read with cryptic clues that will keep you wanting to know more.
