Non-fictions perfect to read for Halloween (2025 edition)

Good morning!

Today we’re talking non-fiction perfect for autumn, and spooky halloween! I did one of these back in 2023, that you can read here. Ofcourse i’ve added a LOT more non-fiction books since then, so let’s go!

🍂 Paranormal Hauntings

Those are actually my favorite- i’m a slut for any paranormal haunting TV shows, believe it or not since my teens. My dad used to love it, and lo and behold I became obsessed with them 🤣 Watching them straight up before bed without it bothering me at all; and yes, I do believe in the paranormal world.

Read; Cursed objects, Haunted Canada #9, book of superstitious stuff

On my list; Eerie whispers, ghostland

 

🍂  True Crime 

Why yes, ofcourse we need some good ol’ True Crime in the mix, don’t we?

Read; Connexion Mortelle, Most bizarre TC stories ever told,

On my list; Thou savage woman; history of female killers

 

🍂 Medical Non-Fiction stories

The medical field can be scary at times.. Nature can really create odd things- or yknow, other human beings can be savages, sometimes even for the sake of science.

On my list; Royal art of poison

 

🍂 Books about death in general

We all know it, we are gonna get there one way or another, hopefully just not soon. Death has a part in spooky themes, so what better timing than this one to get reflective on what might happen to us/our loved ones when the time comes?

Read; You’ll leave this world with your butt sewn shut

On my list; Playing possum; how animals understand death, Past mortems: life and death behind mortuary, Sorry for your loss
