- Little Witch by Anna Elizabeth Bennett (I read this as a kid, then read it aloud to my sons each Halloween when they were younger - it's the perfect Halloween book for younger kids)
- The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (first one that came to mind!)
- Ruined by Paula Morris (awesome teen ghost story)
- Wake and Fade by Lisa McMann (nothing spookier than haunted dreams!)
- Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (I don't normally read paranormal romance but I liked this one)
- The Light (Morpheus Road #1) by D.J. MacHale (a fast-paced ghost story)
- Num8ers by Rachel Ward (loved this spooky paranormal thriller)
- Everlost by Neal Shusterman (what's better for Halloween than a book about the afterlife?)
- The Last Apprentice series by Joseph Delaney (Jamie's top pick)
- Skin Hunger and Sacred Scars by Kathleen Duey

I haven't read any of the books on your list...gives me a good excuse to check out some scary reads! :)
I almost put The Graveyard Book on my list. I just listened to it on audiotape. Very creepy.
Here's my TTT:

Sacred Scars has a really freaky cover. It's one of the reasons why I picked that book up haha!

Good list. I would add The Replacment and The Dead Boys and maybe Nevermore too.
Soul Enchilada, by David Macinnis Gill, is another good YA book for Halloween! His new book, Black Hole Sun, is also a great read.

Thanks for the great recommendations! I need to add those to my TBR pile. I think I need to look back to this post and comments next October!
And, yes, Sacred Scars does have a creepy cover - I find that series disturbing but also so compelling.

Great list! I love a good spooky book for Halloween!
Nice list! I haven't read most of them, but I've heard of them.
I could have used this list earlier - I was setting the window at the library of good October reads for different ages! : ) These look good!
These sound like very scary books, perfect for Halloween! I've always been a scardy cat! Thanks for sharing on #throwbackthursday linkup!
