My love for graphic novels is recent.  I think I picked up The Sandman after reading American Gods, so I would place it about 2004-ish. Since then I have read much of what I have found interesting in the public library’s collection while slowly collecting the series which I want to read over and over, including The Sandman and Fables. I tend to read many of the same genres in graphic novels as novels, so I have read a pretty good selection of creepy, spooky scary stories.  Here are my top 13 Horror Novels for All Hallow’s Eve.
