I've got one that (if anyone wants to join in on) could work for several different squares depending on what you need - and it seems like a good a time as any to read it.

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Options: Genre: Horror, Scary Women (Authors), [Reads With (Booklikes) Friends], Locked Room Mystery, and Classic Horror

Oooh, that's on my kindle already. I'm in.

Yay! (replied to my original post b/c I can't #reply to both of yours).

Also, it's available for free from Project Gutenberg (here's a link to it as a webpage, though it can be downloaded. It is a short read).

Legend of Sleepy Hollow was the one I had pegged for the pumpkin square. I have a lovely audible version narrated by the lovely Tom Mison.

Jennifer, I've listened to that version two years running, and I'm sure I will listen to it again this year. It is an entirely fabulous way to spend two hours immersing myself in autumn. I love it!

I've done the exact same thing, Moonlight. Picked it up a couple years ago when audible was offering it for free, and listened to it then and last fall as well.

My first audiobook, and the one that started my whole semi-recent love of audiobooks.

Yes, I thought of Sleepy Hollow for the pumpkin square, too. Gotta look into the Tom Mison audio version you guys are talking about. I'd completely forgotten about Christie's Halloween Party, Obsidian, so thanks for the reminder. Grimlock brought up Willard for (classic) horror which is another one I either read or watched decades ago that came to mind.

@ Moonlight & Obsidian: Will either the author or the book theme work for the diversity square? I have a couple of m/m (gay romance/mystery) on my shelves that would fit.

Hey, here I said I probably wouldn't play the Halloween bingo and I'm lining up books to fit the squares even though I don't read horror. lol That bingo card is way too tempting with all those cool Halloween graphics. Great job you two!

The first book I thought of when seeing the Diverse square was something I'd been meaning to read for a long time now called The Ghost Bride by Yangze Choo. Now would be as good a time as any to read it, I suppose.

But I also have some little questions about some of the squares:

1) "Read by candlelight or flashlight" -- I'm not entirely certain what this one means and the only thing I can deduce is to read an entire book by candlelight or by flashlight? Or is there a specific characteristic of the book, like it contains the use of candles or flashlights due to setting or electrical outages? Sorry, I feel kind of lost with this one. O.O

2) "Vampires vs Werewolves" -- Not so much clarification, but does the book have to have a vampires versus werewolf type of story, or can it just be any book that have one or two or both of these creatures. Because I checked out Anne Bishop's Murder of Crows from the library figuring it would fulfill a Bingo square somehow and I'm hoping it works for this one.

Anyway, also thanks to everyone for all the great recommendations for other squares. Horror isn't really a genre I read much of, so I'm really going to be testing my comfort zone in the next two months. I've already decided on a Shirley Jackson book and am interested in The Little Stranger.

Also, I've decided that I may join the Ammie buddy read and the Baskersville buddy read. Just haven't decided which book to use for which square though.

Thanks for the clarification. Interesting that you mentioned Toni Morrison. I was just looking over which of her titles my local library had in e-book earlier this week, and they did have Beloved.

I think werewolves were introduced in Full Moon in Dresden. Or first heavily used in that.

... or Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards! ? IIRC the Watch includes at least one of each species of supernatural creatures.

Vampires and Werewolfes (Shapeshifters) are featured in Anne Bishops Written in Red as well and this book is still on my TBR. I guess now is the time to finally read it.

I'd forgotten about Written in Red. May reread that...

Not in Guards! Guards! Vampires don't come in till much, much later (at least in the Watch). Even dwarf (unless you count Carrot), troll, and werewolf aren't added until Men at Arms, I think.

Or Men at Arms, right -- I probably got them mixed up. I do remember there's at least one that features a vampire and a werewolf, though. (As you can see, the Watch isn't my favorite sub-universe, though I'll happily return to pretty much anything by Pratchett if it serves a larger purpose. :D )
