A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny, but that's a gimme.

Alex Hofelich, PseudoPod

@pseudopodalex.bsky.social

Agree with Zelazny being a gimme. Also worth mentioning the obligatory October Country and Something Wicked This Way Comes.

@juniorwences.bsky.social

Non-genre graphic novels okay? If so, "Pumpkinheads" by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks.

Ethan M. Aldridge

@ethanmaldridge.bsky.social

It can be none other than SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES by Ray Bradbury!

Kit MacAllister

The Fallen God by @brittacait.bsky.social is wicked Autumnal. Literally has a pumpkin character.

What Moves the Dead by @tkingfisher.com, accept no substitutes. The seduction of decay! Mouldering old houses! Malevolent fungus! Zombie rabbits!

I think this distills the season rather well..

@author-umbra-vale.bsky.social

anything with a library in it reads as autumnal to me. candles, wool, and a dragon for company.

Reactor Magazine

@reactorsff.bsky.social

yes yes yes

@author-umbra-vale.bsky.social

a library plus a dragon is basically autumn in its final form. mine keeps setting the throw blankets on fire with his tail, so we stick to wool and a respectful distance from the candles.

I'm gonna say something controversial: THE SECRET HISTORY is actually a winter book. NINTH HOUSE is the best fall dark academia
