A little late to the #scarynonfiction party. Real life scarier than fiction. I finished this and Mockingjay on the same day, then I went and hid under the covers for a while. #allhallowsread

The scariest part of the events of Salem is not the supernatural, but the acts of humans! #scarynonfiction #allhallowsread @Litsy

My #AllHallowsRead #scarynonfiction buy today. I've been wanting to read this for a long time.

BekahB This is sitting unread on my bookshelf too! It looks really interesting 7y
Godmotherx5 Unread on my shelf, too. The woes of a reader. 7y
Kirstin @BekahB @Godmotherx5 I really don't like true crime novels. I prefer to be scared by the unreal. This book was endorsed by Stephen King a while back and I saw it on sale for 7.99 so... We'll see. 7y

In Cold Blood | Truman Capote
post image

My #AllHallowsRead is In Cold Blood by Capote. I read this book when I was in high school and it has stuck with me ever since. It's one of my favorite books. The way Capote gets into the head of the killers and fleshes them out is amazing. It's creepy, smart and so well-written. @Litsy #ScaryRead #scarynonfiction #litsy

jes Also, can anyone explain to me how to tag @Litsy? Am I doing it right? I'm still new to this whole thing. 7y
BookishMarginalia You can do it like that or through the tag button (next to where the add photo is). 7y

Horror is not really my thing, but for today's homeschool lesson on invertebrates, I got plenty creeped out thinking of 95% of all Earth's animals lurking somewhere out of sight without a spine... 😱🐜🕷🦂#allhallowsread #scaryreads #scarynonfiction

Libby1 DK Publishing is amazing. 7y
saresmoore @Libby1 Agreed! They are my favorite books for homeschool by far. 7y
obviateit Which curriculum do you use? 7y
saresmoore @obviateit For science right now, we're doing the Sassafrass Adventures from Elemental Science. It's a living book approach with notebooking and my 7yo LOVES it. For history, we're doing Story of the World and everything else is eclectic (I make it up as I go along 😬). Do you homeschool? 7y
obviateit Awesome! I do! We've been using Classical Conversations for a couple of years, and supplementing with library books and eclectic workbooks. My eldest just turned 6 and my baby is 2.5. 😁 7y

Nothing is scarier to me than the fact that something on this scale actually happened with such cold efficiency by people convinced they were right. #AllHallowsRead #ScaryRead #scarynonfiction

BooksRockMyWorld This was a deeply disturbing book, but one of those that I needed to read... :( 7y
Sue Sounds like a must read 7y
prowlix Agreed! Great pick for disturbing nonfiction 7y

Nothing beats a scary non-fiction crime book. When the monsters become real, breathing human beings that you could encounter in every day life, you'll never feel safe.
Lucie Blackman goes to Japan, but never returns. The book goes into why she went to Japan, the possibilities of why she went missing, the discovery of her remains, and what does Joji Obara have to do with this.
#AllHallowsRead #ScaryNonFiction

RanaElizabeth This book was seriously so good. Lots of interesting stuff about Japan and true-crime? That's a winner. 7y
JPeterson @RanaElizabeth It really did go into a lot more background detail that I wasn't expecting, but loved! 7y

"The first English settler accused of witchcraft to leave a record of herself, however scanty, was Goodwife Joan Wright in Virginia" A scary book in delving into how humanity copes with outliers, non mainstream thought, and those who are "different". #cunningwomen #ScaryReads #ripgoodwife #AllHallowsRead #happyhalloween #spooky #penguinclassics #scarynonfiction #bookstagram #witch

3096 Days | Natascha Kampusch

I don't read a lot of non-fiction (not counting the secondary literature I need for work), but when it comes to #scarynonfiction I would choose this memoir by Natascha Kampusch. Her story really touched me and I remember sitting glued to the telly when she fled 10 years ago and the first reports came in on the news. #AllHallowsRead

Faibka I saw her story some time ago. Truly horrific 7y
