31 Days of Horror Day 27: Middle Grade Horror from School Library Journal

Today I have a link from the Summer Scares Middle Grade expert and editor at Library Journal/School Library Journal, Kiera Parrott
That should keep you busy this Sunday before Halloween.

Remember, Middle Grade Horror is a great option for readers of all ages, especially this close to the holiday. These are spooky books that are good even for adults who are a little to scared to try adult options, but still want to get in the Halloween spirit. 

Also, in general, I have been recommending Middle Grade titles from all genres to more and more adults. I feel like as YA gets more and more relationship focused, it is losing some of the depth it once had and spends too much time on the romance aspects. But Middle Grade, because it doesn't have any romance or coupling issues, has been expanding to be more thought provoking than ever before. Seriously, I am suggesting it more and more to readers of all ages.

Horror is no exception here.
