HOBAF HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN
Fictional Folk Horror 🎃
Natalie is championing new title 'Itch!' by Gemma Amor for her folk horror recommendation, saying:
'Itch is equal parts horrifying and heartbreaking, it's an unsettling read combining folk horror and the horrors of real life. Josie moves back to her small home town in the Forest of Dean after a traumatic break-up and discovers dark secrets that upend her life and give her answers to questions she didn't know she had.'

We're supporting CO-OP Academy New Islington to help get books into their library! 📚

Reading is more than just a skill — it’s the foundation for lifelong learning. It boosts cognitive development, enhances language and literacy, and strengthens emotional and social intelligence. It also develops critical thinking, improves concentration, and sparks creativity and empathy by introducing children to new characters, worlds, and perspectives. 🌍✨

By donating books, we’re investing in brighter futures and you can do so online (link in bio) or in store!
