TGI–The first Friday of October ๐
I can’t believe we’ve finally arrived and it’s now my favorite month of the year! Let all the spooky festivities begin, Boils and Ghouls…
I’m so glad we’ve finally reached October Fall! It’s seriously my favorite month of the year (for a few very selfish reasons, of course, โ๏ธ) but with the crisp, chill autumn air and cozy sweater weather that it brings along with it, how can’t you love this month?!
Plus, we’ve truly entered Spooky Season now with Halloween soon approaching… it’s truly the best month to be a ghoul (impo.)

Morbid & Mor(e)bid Curiosities |
October ๐ป 2025
Now to get all hyped (or horrified) about the books we are about to read this month in the Morbid & Mor(e)bid Curiosities book clubs (over on the Fable app)… we have two very terrifying tales to explore and I sure hope we are ready for them (I’ve heard quite a few things to be prepared for ๐)
Always Double the troubles ๐
Introducing Both Of our October morbid curiosities ๐ป
Come Closer by Sara Gran (2003)
I can’t remember if this book was mentioned in a “scariest Horror books” YT video or if I heard about it about it through the Horror book-vine, but what I heard was just how absolutely horrifying of a story you will experience reading this book… and with that lore, I knew I HAD to live through this one.
So, I kindly suggested this one to the Morbid Mavens & asked if they would be interested in exploring this one with me (along with four other suggestions) however, this was the one we settled on for one of our October Morbid Curiosities, and it truly feels like the best gift to receive! ๐ค

Now summing ourselves to the other haunted clubhouse ๐ป for our second selection…
This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno (2021)
This is a novel I’ve had on hold (for a looong time), finally checked it out, then left on my desk and remembered it when I had to return the book to the library (even before getting a chance to read it…) so it’s been SITTING on my TBR for far TOO long. And for my birthday this year, it was one of the books I was really hoping we would pick for October’s second morbid curiosity ๐
I’m a big fan of the FSG Originals collection and This Thing Between Us happens to be one of theirs! I’ve heard tremendous and terrifying things about Gus’s book and I can’t wait to listen to the audiobook this weekend and be completely scared out of my mind!

๐ฌ BTS
(of the Morbid & Mor(e)bid Curiosities Book Clubs Selection Process)
With how busy my after-hours life has been these past couple of months, I haven’t been able to dedicate as much time to my lovely graphic design passions–but I’m hoping to restore my energy in that field very soon!
It’s so fun to make graphics to go with all the suggestions those spooky souls in the club put forward to read in our creepy little Horror corner on Fable (plus, the graphic gets good use each month on our trusty Cursed Wheel to determine our ultimate fate ๐)
If you’re curious on what a typical book club selection process looks like for our book clubs, check out the ๐ฌ BTS of last month’s Morbid & Mor(e)bid Curiosities (for September) ๐
As our saying goes, “…the mor(e)bid, the merrier…” so if you like book clubs and want to check out the Fable app, we would be happy if you could…
Until we meet again,
Do YOU have a ๐๐๐๐๐๐ curiosity?
It’s finally October!
