About the book
What if the Vatican’s most powerful exorcist wasn’t human?
From the bestselling author of The Paranormalist series comes a chilling new vision of demonic possession.
Exorcists are being slaughtered mid-ritual, their bodies desecrated. To stop the demonic killer stalking its holy warriors, the Church unveils Michael—an android immune to possession, fluent in occult ritual, engineered for spiritual warfare. A weapon even the Devil may fear. Assigned to monitor him is Father Callum, a grizzled priest who has seen evil wear many faces.
Their mission leads to a remote village and a possessed teenage girl—but this demon is different. It’s learning. Adapting. Evolving. And it wants what no evil has ever touched before. If it succeeds, it won’t just claim a soul—it will rewrite the rules of possession forever.
THE EXORCIST meets EX MACHINA. Perfect for fans of The Pope’s Exorcist, Sinister, and The Conjuring.

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
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.

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

A family spirals into grief and dread when a thirteen-year-old boy vanishes in the woods and strange signs begin to follow.
Disappearance at Devil’s Rock
Thriller · Horror · Occult Horror · Psychological Thriller · Supernatural Horror
Our take
A family spirals into grief and dread when a thirteen-year-old boy vanishes in the woods and strange signs begin to follow. In Disappearance at Devil’s Rock, a mother searching for answers is pulled deeper into ghostly sightings, torn journal pages, and the possibility that Tommy’s disappearance is tied to something far more sinister than anyone wants to believe. The story blends psychological horror with supernatural unease and mounting emotional devastation.
Choose your retailer
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.

A desperate act of revenge opens a door that will not close.
King Sorrow
Horror · Occult Horror · Supernatural Horror
Our take
A desperate act of revenge opens a door that will not close. In King Sorrow, six college friends at an insular Maine campus use an occult text to summon a dragon, hoping to solve one friend’s crisis, only to bind themselves to a creature that demands yearly human sacrifice. This dark academia horror explores loyalty, guilt, and the cost of bargains that grow bloodier with time.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill, a chilling tale of modern-world dangers, dark academia, and the unexpected consequences of revenge as six friends dabble in the occult and are tragically, horrifyingly successful… calling forth an evil entity that demands regular human sacrifice.
“A brilliantly Faustian fable with a heart as huge as a dragon’s, and a stinging twist in its tail. I devoured it.” —Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Suite 11
Arthur Oakes is a reader, a dreamer, and a student at Rackham College, Maine, renowned for its frosty winters, exceptional library, and beautiful buildings. But his idyll—and burgeoning romance with Gwen Underfoot—is shattered when a local drug dealer and her partner corner him into one of the worst crimes he can imagine: stealing rare books from the college library.
Trapped and desperate, Arthur turns to his closest friends for comfort and help. Together they dream up a wild, fantastical scheme to free Arthur from the cruel trap in which he finds himself. Wealthy, irrepressible Colin Wren suggests using the unnerving Crane journal (bound in the skin of its author) to summon a dragon to do their bidding. The others—brave, beautiful Alison Shiner; the battling twins Donna and Donovan McBride; and brainy, bold Gwen—don’t hesitate to join Colin in an effort to smash reality and bring a creature of the impossible into our world.
But there’s nothing simple about dealing with dragons, and their pact to save Arthur becomes a terrifying bargain in which the six must choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow every year—or become his next meal.

About the book
Sarah Temple hopes to find a bit of peace and quiet when she leaves her abusive boyfriend, but instead she finds a world of horror. It’s bad enough that a sadistic serial killer and another maniac are both trying to murder her, but what’s worse is the mysterious Solitary One who controls both of them, a malevolent entity that the serial killer describes as a living darkness, a man and yet not a man, something that’s alive and yet not alive, something that wants to appall the world.
Trying to flee from the two killers, Sarah finds herself running deeper and deeper into a deadly supernatural trap, a place where people are buried alive, where ghastly apparitions mutter in the dark, where demented killers prowl, where a crumbling haunted house can drive its victims mad with terror, and where something buried for a very long time may walk again.

AAQA

Power tempts most when it feels effortless. When a young man discovers an ancient lamp and releases a vengeful Ifrit bound in blood, his deepest wishes begin to materialize with alarming ease.

Dark, suspenseful, and laced with creeping dread, Aaqa is a haunting descent into the seductive pull of power, the weight of ancient curses, and the terror of realizing too late that the greatest horror… is getting exactly what you asked for.

Darkness On The Edge Of Town
Horror · Occult Horror · Supernatural Horror
Our take
Permanent night falls without warning, sealing a small Virginia town inside a wall of living darkness. In Darkness on the Edge of Town, the residents of Walden face dwindling supplies, rising paranoia, and the slow collapse of order as something waits beyond the barrier. This survival horror explores isolation, mob fear, and the fragile line between community and brutality.

About the book
"Try Darkness on the Edge of Town by Brian Keene. Excellent short horror novel!" — Stephen King
One morning the residents of Walden, Virginia, woke up to find the rest of the world gone. Just . . . gone.
Surrounding their town was a wall of inky darkness, plummeting Walden into permanent night. Nothing can get in - not light, not people, not even electricity, radio, TV, internet, food, or water. And nothing can get out. No one who dared to penetrate the mysterious barrier has ever been seen again. Only their screams were heard.
But for some, the darkness is not the worst of their fears. Driven mad by thirst, hunger, and perpetual night, the residents of Walden are ready to explode. The last few sane prisoners of this small town must prepare a final stand against their neighbors, themselves, and something even worse . . . something out there . . . in the darkness . . .

When rebellion becomes ritual, the music no longer stops at the stage.
The Scream
Horror · Occult Horror
Our take
When rebellion becomes ritual, the music no longer stops at the stage. In The Scream, a mega-cult rock band channels something born in war and carried into sold-out arenas, where devotion spirals into bloodshed. As fans surrender to the band’s unholy gospel, violence spreads with every amplified note. A splatterpunk horror novel fusing rock mythology, mass hysteria, and apocalyptic brutality.

About the book
Rock ‘n’ Roll. Hell. Two great tastes that taste great together. Long before Elvis gyrated on the Sullivan Show or the Beatles toiled the smoky red-light bars of Hamburg, music has been sowing the seeds of liberation. Or damnation. With each new generation the edge of rebellion pushed farther. Rhythms quickened. Volume increased. Lyrics coarsened. The rules continued to be broken, until it seemed that there were no rules at all.
And as waves of teens cranked it up and poured it on, parents built walls of accusation to explain their offspring’s seeming corruption. Sex and drugs, demon worship and violence are the effects. Music is the cause. Or so the self-styled guardians of morality would have us believe.
Meet The Scream. Just your average everyday mega-cult band. Their music is otherworldly. Their words are disturbing. Their message is unholy. Their fans are legion. And they’re not kidding. They’re killing. Themselves. Each other. Everyone. Their gospel screams from the lips of babes.
Their backbeat has a body count. And their encore is just the warm-up act to madness beyond belief.
It emerged from a war-torn jungle, where insanity was just another word for survival. It arrived in America with an insatiable lust for power and the means to fulfill it. In the amplified roar of arena applause there beats the heart of absolute darkness.

About the book
A graveyard feast beneath the summer moon …
The rural town of Old Hickory. Tennessee was a quiet, picturesque community … until the O'Sheas came to town.
Becoming the new proprietors of the town's only funeral parlor, with the help of their charming patriarch, Square McManus, the Irish family was wholeheartedly accepted by the local townfolk. The thing began to happen. Strange things … horrible, unspeakable things … in the dead of night.
The sighting of wolfish beasts congregating around an open grave in the town cemetery. Frightening changes in several of Old Hickory's less desirable residents. And the brutal murder and devourment of a varsity football player in the wooded wilderness outside of town. Soon, what was once concealed in shadow and secrecy was now starkly revealed, in all its ravenous fury, by the silvery light of the full moon.
As the residents of Old Hickory, as well as the local police, begin to fall victim to an unknown evil, four individuals—the town nerd, a high school jock, a widowed gunsith, and a mysterious transient from a distant shore—find themselves facing what could possibly be a hellish lycanthrope from ancient Ireland … the legendary Arget Bethir … the Silver Beast.
