One of the most unflinching books in October is Rebecca Coleman’s The Kingdom of Childhood. It dares to examine the relationship between a teacher and her student, and our reviewer called it “psychologically disturbing,” “controversial” and “a natural pick for book clubs.”
The unsettling depiction of lust and desire has my skin crawling just from watching the trailer:
The Kingdom of Childhood is out now! Readers who love dark, serious literature will love it, especially during the creepiest month of the year! Will you read it?
Hi, Cat! Whew, I found myself chewing my nails as I watched the trailer. I’m usually a big chicken when it comes to scary things, however, I have to see what this is about and will definitely put it on my Read List. Thank you for sharing!

You’re very welcome! I love a good, creepy book–especially in October.
