It's spooky season! Have you read any of these YA ghost stories? What did you think?

It's Halloween and it's pumping season!!! So I'm looking for a good horror read with—and this is very very important— SMART MAIN CHARACTERS.

You might think I'm bonkers "horror without the dumb shit? That's like asking for an egg-less omelette or bread sticks without bread"

As to which yes I'm asking bread sticks without the bread, I'll just take the sticks thank you very much.

I've never dipped my toes into the horror side when I'm exclusively a fantasy reader who dabbles in a smidgen of sci fi so this is going to be a first time experience.

I'm very interested in eldritch type horrors like bird box (I've already seen the movie) but I'm also open to horror nuns, summoned demons, bloodline cursed and other stuff.

I also like my main characters to undergo a bit of psychological thriller and horror, just to spice things up a little.
