Horror

Before reading The Bride of Ashbyrn House, I had never read anything by Amy Cross. Not only did the novel impress me, but it quickly became one of my all-time favorites.

I finally bit the bullet and moved my blog, Haunting Alex, to this one. It’s something I’ve been kicking around doing for a while.

If there is one modern author of ghost stories I would never hesitate to recommend, it is Darcy Coates. Over the past few years, I have read many of her books and have yet to be disappointed even once — and Gallows Hill is no exception.

It’s that time of the year again when I take a look back at what I’ve read throughout the past year and highlight some of my favorite books. I read more than usual in 2025 which made picking favorites tough!

I have decided to completely reconceptualize the Stories section of Haunting Alex. This is what I’ve changed it to.

A Haunting on the Hill by Elizabeth Hand is an interesting modern dive into the world originally created by Shirley Jackson in The Haunting of Hill House.

This is a collection of my favorite YouTube channels about horror and ghost hunting.

With the new year ushered in over a month ago, it’s time to recap my favorite books I read in 2024.

Stirrings in The Black House is another very interesting take on the traditional ghost and haunted house trope. It is definitely worth a read.

Ever since I was old enough to understand what ghosts were, I have had an enduring fascination with the paranormal and horror in general. This is a self-reflection on this interest.

I’m happy to announce that the stories section with the first public domain stories is finally online and available!

Here are a couple of interesting links for horror resources.
