Across many cultures, the autumn season is a time for honoring the dead, remembering ancestors, and partaking in rituals shrouded in mystery. Some celebrate the American Halloween, others the Mexican Day of the Dead, while in Lithuania, people observe the traditions of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day (Vėlinės). Though distinct in customs and beliefs, these commemorations share a unifying thread – an enduring fascination with mystery and the unknown.

We invite you to explore the realm of horror literature. The works presented below are part of the library’s newly acquired collection. We encourage readers to discover both classic and contemporary authors whose stories enrich autumn evenings and invite contemplation of humanity’s enduring relationship with the unseen and the mysterious.
