Megan Giddings’s “Lakewood” stands out as one of my favorite horror novels to date, and I wish more people knew of it! A young Black woman joins a government clinical trial to help pay for her mother’s medical bills, and slowly begins spiraling as time and her own identity start to slip away from her. This book touches on so many different issues as both commentary and horror, and I highly recommend giving this a read if shady pharmaceutical organizations, body horror and the loss of sanity are all points of fear for you. As always, I encourage you not to read the book’s full synopsis, as going in blind for books like this always make the twists that much more anxiety-inducing. If you enjoyed Alyssa Cole’s “When No One Is Watching” but wish it had leaned more into the horror/fear, this is the book for you.

Creepy murderous children? Terrifying dream demons? Dual timelines? Sign me up! Alex North’s second book TERRIFIED ME and I’m so glad I picked up up. It’s about a man who returns to the small town where a group of his friends murdered a classmate when they were children, and suddenly becomes embroiled in discovering the truth of what may have really happened all those years ago. I highly recommend giving this one a read! Just… not after dark. 😉

started off “summerween” and spooky july with this nail-biting horror/thriller about a vicar and her daughter moving to a small town obsessed with two historical children burned to death on the church steps to replace former priest who was found hung above the altar… This was definitely by favorite of CJ Tudor’s works so far, and I’m looking forward to her future releases! stay tuned for more spooky reads.

Romeo and Juliet retelling set in 1920’s Shanghai THAT ALSO involves a deadly plague causing people to rip out their own throats? Yes. Yes please. Absolutely yes. If you need me, I’ll be manifesting enough psychic energy to astral project directly into my local Barnes and Noble five months into the future when the sequel drops.

Utterly obsessed with this murder-thriller-comedy-romance (oh my!) about a single mother and romance author who is mistaken for a hitwoman/hired gun after someone overhears and misinterprets a conversation she has in a Panera Bread restaurant. I binged the whole thing in an afternoon/evening and didn’t get to sleep until 2AM when I finally finished. I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel!

I’m honestly obsessed with the cover of this YA horror by Katrina Leno. It follows a teenage girl who moves into her mother’s childhood home after the sudden death of her father, only to discover that the house might, in fact, be haunted. While this wasn’t a new favorite book by any means (I think I’ll be sticking with more adult horror—YA horror/thrillers rarely have high enough tension for me), I don’t think anyone can deny that the dust jacket is absolutely fabulous.

book 102 was a masterfully done social thriller that had me on the edge of my seat all day. it follows a neighborhood in NY whose many residents begin disappearing within the span of a week after a new scientific research facility begins construction just a few blocks away, and interweaves conversations of gentrification, "polite racism", police brutality into its horror/mystery narrative. definitely a must read that I'd recommend to anyone.

noooo, I said. I'll never get into long fantasy series, I said. what an unnecessary time commitment, I said.

450 pages of pure slow-building terror. an ancient aliens-esque documentary crew sets sail to film a fake "tv special" about mermaids, only to find out they're horrifyingly real deep-sea monstrosities, the apex predators of the ocean. after this and max brook's "devolution" and stephen graham jones's "the only good indians" I think creature horror is my new favorite subgenre!
