Listen on Spotify ↗
For **Haunted Halloween**, this playlist pairs shadowy electronics and eerie chamber textures with the story’s sterile experiments, fractured minds, and the growing unease of Joe’s home no longer feeling safe. Its restrained suspense keeps the seasonal atmosphere haunting rather than theatrical, while the shifts between sparse calm and darker tension follow the book’s emotional arc.
