Blood-Red Horror

Pink is good. Pink is the color of cherry blossom season (Sonora’s favorite time of year). Pink is the best Starburst flavor. Pinky had the best lines in Pinky and the Brain.

Pink’s darker sister, red, though, is the one that rules Halloween. Like rings around the moon, a slasher’s blade, and the coffee cup of a desired lover, it’s filled with blood — just like the reads below.

Below you’ll find red horror recommendations for Halloween, women’s fiction filled with teeth, rage, and not just a little blood. Tell us your favorites in the comments!
