I actually intended to make one long post, but the list for adult horror novels got so long that I thought these would get lost down at the bottom. Here’s a list for teens of shivery stories \u00a0that take place in the cold. \u00a0I’m sure that most teens see Laura Ingalls Wilder’s name and think “kiddie book”, but when I’ve asked adults what books scared them the most as children, The Long Winter<\/em> always makes the list.

Revolver<\/em> by Marcus Sedgwick<\/p>\n

Never Slow Dance With A Zombie<\/em> by E. van Lowe<\/p>\n

Silent Night<\/em> by R.L. Stine<\/p>\n

Wicked Lovely<\/em> by Melissa Marr<\/p>\n

Ashen Winter<\/em> by Mike Mullin<\/p>\n

Look For Me By Moonlight<\/em> by Mary Downing Hahn<\/p>\n

The White Darkness<\/em> by Geraldine McCaughrean<\/p>\n

The Long Winter<\/em> by Laura Ingalls Wilder<\/p>\n
