Almost there! *pant pant pant* 10) Hammers on Bone by Cassandra Khaw 11) Mirror Monster on My Wall by Tam M. Nicnevin 12) A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny 13) A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson 4/5

A book cover. A faded charcoal silhouette of a city skyline on a hill also sprouts five tentacles against a white background. A white silhouette is cut out of the charcoal, in the shape of a man in side-profile wearing a fedora and coat, harkening back to images from Bogart films of Sam Spade. Black and red text at the top reads as follows: "Prepare to take a long leap into the fantastic in the hands of a fresh new voice in fiction. - Kameron Hurley, Hugo Award-Winning Author", and then beneath that, it says, "Hammers on Bone, Cassandra Khaw".
A black book cover. In the center is an ornate red mirror. Showing in the glass is a young, frightened Black woman in a light blue Regency-style dress, looking over her shoulder. In the blackness surrounding the mirror are four shadowy red silhouettes of four-pronged mandible-like fanged mouths. Blood-red text reads, "Tam M. Nicnevin, Mirror Monster on My Wall, a Polyamorous Erotic Horror Romance."
A book cover. A silhouette of a howling wolf-like dog's head is cut out of a bright orange cover. Within the cutout are the minimalist images of a snake, a rat, a cat, an owl, a bat, and a squirrel peering into a stream, and Big Ben the clocktower and a full moon reflected in the water. White and gray text reads, "Roger Zelazny, A Night in the Lonesome October." There’s also a blurb on the right that reads, "The last great novel by one of the giants of the genre. - George R.R. Martin".
A book cover. Out of the pitch-black background come the head and shoulders of a pale white woman with dark hair. Her old-fashioned off-the-shoulder crimson dress helps emphasize her pallor. She's also wearing ruby earrings, a double loop of pearls, and a silver broach. A smear of scarlet, like a swipe of blood across a photograph, hides her eyes. Red and white text against the black reads, "Thrilling and seductive. - Alexes Henderson, author of The Year of the Witching." Beneath that it says, "S.T. Gibson, A Dowry of Blood." Gray text at the bottom reads, "Desire. Obsession. Control."

So there y'all go, some of my favorite Halloweeny books! I may come back with another list at some point but I was staring at the wall slowly sinking into madness when I realized I hadn't made a rec list in awhile. So ta-da! Happy Halloween! 5/5
