Spooky season, creators spotlight Halloween games and horror picks

cultureOct 28, 202619172

Artists and creators are promoting a wide array of Halloween-themed works ahead of October 31. James Holloway’s The Ghoul Gallery appears in Brave Zenith, showcasing undead(ish) monsters. Indie games are spotlighted: DreadHaven: The Last Colony released a demo on Steam with localization by LocQuest in six languages, and an indie developer described a new zombie enemy that turns adjacent foes into zombies. Readers can find a curated spooky bundle of indie horror and cozy reads on itch.io, while SFFWorld ran a Countdown to Halloween review of Catriona Ward’s 2023 novel Looking Glass Sound. Librarians and authors are sharing YA horror recommendations in a guest post on TeenLibrarian that urges readers to try titles such as Dead Teenager Movie. Classic and cult-screening picks are also being pushed by creators, with recommendations like The Seventh Curse (1986) and a Cobweb 2023 showing scheduled at 9 P.M. PST on Fandango and Peacock.

Graphic for the Chills, Thrills & Kills October Itchio Sale. 93 books for $69. A VERY BIG AND SPOOKY BUNDLE of creepy and cosy reads perfect for this year’s Hallowe’en Season! Hosted by Indie Book Spotlight.

Cover of Looking Glass Sound, by Catriona Ward. Black background with a tag line in white text at the very top "What dark reflection will you see?", below it is the title in the top center in yellow-gold text. Below the title are two quotes in green text with their source in yellow-gold text. In the center of the lower half of the cover is a squat, rectangular ink bottle with the image of a green mountain inside, the peak jutting up through the open top of the bottle. Or maybe it's an iceberg? In front of the mountain/ice berg is a small, two story house, also green in color. At the bottom, below the ink bottle, is the byline in yellow-gold text. Under this is a reference to another of the author's novels "The Last House on Needless Street" in white text.
