August Horror New Releases

These are the horror new releases for August.

What I'm Excited About: Let me just apologise now for the following. AAAHHHH! SPOOK'S DESTINY! YEAH! I am eagerly awaiting the newest title in what I think is my favourite series of books. I'm eagerly awaiting this, and also the Grimmalkin tales I keep hearing about. I'm also utterly intrigued by the strange and wonderful Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, plus I really like the new look covers on all of Chris Priestley's books.
