Halloween is here almost here and if you're like me there's possibly nothing
better to do than coming home after a night out and rendering yourself
stationary with a good book, a bowl of sweets and black cat to keep your lap
cosy… Besides handing out candy to adorable visiting ghosts of course.
That being said, most of us have a favourite Halloween read but if you're
looking for something new we've got a fantastic spooky new releases in thriller
to true
stories and horror.
Here's what's on my reading list this year:

House on Cold Hill by Peter James

Calling all fans of film art, New Zealand History or Landscape
Photography!
We have an exclusive prize for one lucky monkey who places a pre-order for Seasons
of Erewhon – A beautiful framed print from the book.
Nestled within the majestic Southern Alps, and neighbouring the equally
historic Mesopotamia and Mount Potts stations, Lord of
the Rings fans will recognise this fabled New Zealand high country as the
backdrop for The
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The legendary Erewhon Station is a
13,500-hectare property at the headwaters of the Rangitata River,
Canterbury.
Erewhon is a place with a strong respect for the past, its forebears and the
way they eked an honest living from the land, working with the weather and
rivers. With no beginning and no end, the cycle of life in the high country
continues as it always has. These soaring mountains and cavernous valleys look
the same as when explorers trekked on horseback 150 years ago – only the
seasons change.
