Horror · Sci-Fi · Cosmic Horror · Creature Feature · Eldritch Horror · First Contact
Our take
Making first contact was supposed to mean discovery, not absolute disaster. Xeno traps a tiny crew aboard a colony ship with an ancient alien force that should have stayed lost in space, turning a routine journey into a full-blown nightmare. Dark, brutal, and built on rising dread, this is space horror that goes straight for the throat.

About the book
A terrifying descent into space horror.
Sometimes in space you wake to a nightmare.
The huge spaceship the Xeno is en route to a new world light years from Earth, its payload of more than 50,000 cryogenically frozen colonists watched over by a supercomputer and a skeleton crew of only a dozen people.
When the ship comes into contact with a seemingly inert alien artefact drifting in space, the crew believes they've made a momentous discovery for all humankind. They’re unaware it’s the eve of true horror.
Soon it becomes clear the crew have unwittingly woken an evil so ancient and so powerful it threatens not only the ship and its slumbering passengers, but the future of the human race itself.
Recommended for mature readers due to graphic language, violence and sexual content.

About the book
An "impressive" tale of psychic power, Native American mysticism, and an ancient evil in Alabama, from the New York Times–bestselling author of Swan Song (Associated Press).
Born and raised in rural Alabama, Billy Creekmore was destined to be a psychic. His mother, a Choctaw Indian schooled in her tribe's ancient mysticism, understands the permeable barrier between life and death—and can cross it. She taught the power to Billy and now he helps the dead rest in peace.
Wayne Falconer, son of one of the most fervent tent evangelists in the South, travels the country serving his father's healing ministry. Using his unique powers to cure the flock, Little Wayne is on his way to becoming one of the popular and successful miracle workers in the country. He helps the living survive.
Billy and Wayne share more than a gift. They share a dream—and a common enemy. They are on separate journeys, mystery walks that will lead them toward a crossroad where the evil of their dreams has taken shape. One of them will reject the dark. The other will be consumed by it. But neither imagined just how monstrous and far-reaching the dark was, or that mankind's fate would rest in their hands during an epic showdown of good versus evil.
From the author of Gone South, Boy's Life, and the Matthew Corbett series, a master of suspense who has won the World Fantasy and Bram Stoker Awards, Mystery Walk offers "creepy, subtle touches throughout [and] splendid Southern-town atmosphere" (Kirkus Reviews).

Savage Rogue
Horror · Suspense
Our take
Something brutal is stalking the woods outside Enrick, Wyoming, and Special Agent Nicole Beretti knows better than to buy the easy explanation. In Savage Rogue, a string of savage killings pulls Beretti and her partner into a town already cracking under fear, where a useless sheriff, a twitchy posse, and a predator no one understands make every move more dangerous. A fast-moving thriller with cryptid horror energy, rising tension, and a heroine thrown straight into the kind of nightmare locals are already making worse.

“A woman discovers her magical ancestry while being seduced by a deadly coven in this debut fantasy. ... A craftily blended supernatural tale that vividly shows the author's love of the genre.” - Kirkus Reviews
A Gothic Horror of Magic, Power, and Betrayal
Rachel Ogden has spent her life resisting the pull of the past. She’s finally built the ordinary life she always wanted, running a successful independent coffee shop with her best friend and even considering romance for the first time in years. But beneath the surface, something is shifting. Something is waiting. Nightmares she can't remember. Flickers of memories that don't make sense. Rachel pushes past them and clings to normalcy, but fate has other plans.
The spiral into the unknown starts when she meets the enigmatic owner of a metaphysical supply store and the figures behind an exclusive Gothic nightclub. Soon, Rachel’s reality fractures as the storm she's suppressed reaches her. Her mother’s ghost appears, warning her of an inheritance she cannot escape. It's a gift others would kill to claim.
As Rachel is drawn deeper into an underworld of seduction, secrets, and hidden rituals, she must confront a past she doesn’t remember, a power she never asked for, and a legacy that refuses to be denied.
For fans of Shirley Jackson, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Anne Rice, The Witch’s Spiral is a haunting, character-driven descent into the occult, the razor-thin line between desire and control, and the terrifying beauty of self-discovery. Also perfect for readers who crave eerie atmospheres, creeping paranoia, and the slow unraveling of reality in the face of the unknown.

About the book
This chilling small-town horror novel from bestselling author Ania Ahlborn—hailed as a writer of “some of the most promising horror I’ve encountered in years” (New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire)—follows a young boy who searches for his missing cousin and uncovers a connection to earlier disappearances the town would rather forget.
When young Jude Brighton goes missing in the quiet town of Deer Valley, Oregon, panic spreads quickly. After three days with no sign of him, hope begins to fade—especially for Stevie Clark, Jude’s cousin and closest friend. Stevie knows the odds, and he knows that time is running out.
But Jude isn’t the first boy to vanish. Years earlier, another child disappeared under eerily similar circumstances and was later found dead. Pets have gone missing too. For decades, whispers of violence have haunted Deer Valley, lingering just beneath the surface.
Determined to uncover the truth, Stevie begins investigating Jude’s disappearance himself, only to uncover a horrifying secret the town has worked hard to forget. As fear resurfaces and long-buried crimes come back into the light, Stevie realizes that the truth may be far more terrifying than he ever imagined.
Dark, unsettling, and emotionally devastating, this psychological horror novel blends suspense, grief, and creeping dread into a relentless exploration of what happens when evil is allowed to fester unchecked.

The Circle
Horror · Teen + Young Adult · Occult Horror
Our take
Six teenage girls are pulled together by a force none of them understand and told they’re the only thing standing between their town and an ancient evil. The Circle mixes messy friendships, bullying, revenge, family drama, and first love with dark magic and a creeping sense of danger. With a cast of girls who are wildly different and not exactly thrilled to be stuck with one another, this first book in the Engelsfors Trilogy brings sharp character work and supernatural stakes in equal measure.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"What a stunning novel. Raw, real, smart, very thrilling, and very, very wicked. The Circle is Twilight by way of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." —Lev Grossman, New York Times–bestselling author
Minoo wakes up outside her house, still in her pajamas, and is drawn by an invisible force to an abandoned theme park on the outskirts of town. Soon five of her classmates—Vanessa, Linnéa, Anna-Karin, Rebecka, and Ida—arrive, compelled by the same force. A mystical being takes over Ida's body and tells them they are fated to fight an ancient evil that is hunting them. As the weeks pass, each girl discovers she has a unique magical ability. They begin exploring their powers. The six are wildly different and definitely not friends . . . but they are the Chosen Ones.
In this gripping first installment of The Engelsfors Trilogy, a parallel world emerges in which teenage dreams, insanely annoying parents, bullying, revenge, and love collide with dangerous forces and ancient magic. An international sensation with rights sold in twenty-six countries, The Circle is razor-sharp and remarkable from start to finish.
"The Circle ensnares you from the start, with all the epic mayhem and darkness of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and with teen characters as rich and nuanced as any reader could hope for. It's an utterly convincing world, and a resonant one, and we find ourselves wanting to follow its heroes anywhere." —Megan Abbott, New York Times–bestselling author
"The Circle puts its mismatched heroines—and readers—at the center of an ancient conspiracy of magic as terrifying as it is realistic. Enthralling from start to finish." —Elizabeth Hand, award–winning author

Disappearance at Devil’s Rock

About the book
From Paul Tremblay, the author of A Head Full of Ghosts, comes a contemporary psychological suspense concerning a family shaken to its core after the mysterious disappearance of a teenage boy.
“A Head Full of Ghosts scared the living hell out of me, and I’m pretty hard to scare,” raved Stephen King about Paul Tremblay’s previous novel. Now, Tremblay returns with another disturbing tale sure to unsettle readers.
Late one summer night, Elizabeth Sanderson receives the devastating news that every mother fears: her thirteen-year-old son, Tommy, has vanished without a trace in the woods of a local park.
The search isn’t yielding any answers, and Elizabeth and her young daughter, Kate, struggle to comprehend Tommy’s disappearance. Feeling helpless and alone, their sorrow is compounded by anger and frustration: the local and state police have uncovered no leads. Josh and Luis, the friends who were the last to see Tommy before he vanished, may not be telling the whole truth about that night in Borderland State Park, when they were supposedly hanging out a landmark the local teens have renamed Devil’s Rock.
Living in an all-too-real nightmare, riddled with worry, pain, and guilt, Elizabeth is wholly unprepared for the strange series of events that follow. She believes a ghostly shadow of Tommy materializes in her bedroom, while Kate and other local residents claim to see a shadow peering through their windows in the dead of night. Then, random pages torn from Tommy’s journal begin to mysteriously appear—entries that reveal an introverted teenager obsessed with the phantasmagoric; the loss of his father, killed in a drunk-driving accident a decade earlier; a folktale involving the devil and the woods of Borderland; and a horrific incident that Tommy believed connects them.
As the search grows more desperate, and the implications of what happened become more haunting and sinister, no one is prepared for the shocking truth about that night and Tommy’s disappearance at Devil’s Rock.
