9 Nonfiction Books About Vampires, Ghosts, & Terrifying Creatures: Critical Linking, October 31

Sponsored by Shades of Wicked by Jeaniene Frost

Whether you’re into vampires and werewolves or aliens and man-eating insects, there are plenty of nonfiction books about scary stories that reveal sometimes, the truth isn’t just stranger but often spookier than fiction.

In every interview I’ve done so far to promote my book, I have been asked some version of, Why do you write political stories? I’ve learned a few things about what it means for me to engage with the political through fiction, and also about what that question means to people.
