25+ Best Haunted and Paranormal Books That Should Be On Your Bookshelf
As many of you may know I have an affinity towards the weird and strange which means I have a book case full of haunted and paranormal books. I mean, when you love all things ghost, cryptid and paranormal related it kind of makes sense that books about the weird and strange would fill the bookshelves and I love it.
This is a peek into my bookshelf. I’ll be adding more books as I buy and read them. If there is a book you think I should add to my collection drop a comment below. If you are an author or publisher that would like to have a book added to my bookshelf please contact me at deb at justshortofcrazy dot com.
Note–All books are linked to Amazon. If you make a purchase a very, very small percentage of your purchase is shared with me which helps keeps this site alive and well. THANK YOU!
