About the book
Now an HBO® Series from J.J. Abrams (Executive Producer of Westworld), Misha Green (Creator of Underground) and Jordan Peele (Director of Get Out)
The critically acclaimed cult novelist makes visceral the terrors of life in Jim Crow America and its lingering effects in this brilliant and wondrous work of the imagination that melds 1950s historical fiction, pulp noir, and Lovecraftian horror and fantasy.
Chicago, 1954. When his father Montrose goes missing, 22-year-old Army veteran Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find him, accompanied by his Uncle George—publisher of The Safe Negro Travel Guide—and his childhood friend Letitia. On their journey to the manor of Mr. Braithwhite—heir to the estate that owned one of Atticus’s ancestors—they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the cosmic horror tales George devours.
At the manor, Atticus discovers his father in chains, held prisoner by a secret society named the Order of the Ancient Dawn—led by Samuel Braithwhite and his son Caleb—which has gathered to orchestrate a ritual that shockingly centers on Atticus. And his one hope of salvation may be the seed of his—and the whole Turner clan’s—destruction.
A chimerical blend of magic, power, hope, and freedom that stretches across time, touching diverse members of two black families, Lovecraft Country is a devastating kaleidoscopic portrait of racism—the terrifying specter that continues to haunt us today.

Disney princess by day.
Maeve Fly
Horror · Thriller
Our take
Disney princess by day. Literary misanthrope by night. Murderous maniac somewhere in between. Maeve Fly is a gory, gleeful horror debut that flips the slasher script with 4.6 stars on Amazon and praise from Stephen Graham Jones and Grady Hendrix. If American Psycho and LA nightlife had a twisted baby, this blood-soaked love letter is it.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Maeve Fly is an ice princess by day, a horror-obsessed loner by night, and something much darker just beneath the surface.
By all appearances, she works at the happiest place on earth. But Maeve's nights belong to LA’s underbelly, dive bars, macabre novels, and her own simmering rage. When her best friend’s charming brother moves to town, something unravels inside her. Something sharp. Something hungry.
Inspired by her literary idols and haunted by her own discontent, Maeve crafts a new identity that doesn’t ask for permission. It takes.
Maeve Fly is a brutal, blood-slicked ride through the sun-soaked decay of Los Angeles. Part slasher, part satire, CJ Leede’s explosive debut is not for the faint of heart. Think American Psycho, but make it female.

A ghost ship.
A Haunting in the Arctic
Horror
Our take
A ghost ship. A buried past. And something still waiting onboard. C.J. Cooke’s A Haunting in the Arctic is a chilling dual-timeline horror novel set aboard a doomed whaling vessel.

About the book
Two centuries. One ship. A curse that refuses to sink.
In 1901, Nicky awakens on a freezing whaling vessel—the Ormen—after a brutal attack. Isolated at sea, she’s trapped with a crew that seems to want something from her… something impossible.
More than a hundred years later, the wreck of the Ormen washes ashore on Iceland’s remote coast. Set for demolition, it draws explorer Dominique like a beacon. But others who dared board it never made it back.
Now, Dominique must navigate the decaying corridors of a ship steeped in cruelty, secrets—and something that still stirs below deck.
A spectral presence walks the floors. It remembers. And it’s waiting.
A Haunting in the Arctic is a slow-burn ghost story drenched in atmosphere, where past horrors bleed into the present—and no one leaves unchanged.

About the book
Three sisters. Three keys. One house that never let go.
As children, the Finch sisters discovered a decaying mansion with endless doors—and one key for each of them. What they found behind those doors changed them forever. They never spoke of it again.
Now, the youngest, Claire, is dead—found inside that same house.
Meg and Esther are pulled back to the place that shattered their childhood, facing not just the bitter fallout of their broken relationship, but something darker. Something waiting. The keys still fit. The rooms are still there. And the truth they've tried to bury is clawing its way back.
Part ghost story, part emotional reckoning, Through the Midnight Door is a chilling tale of generational trauma, sisterhood, and the horrors we inherit—and the ones we invite in.

A letter.
Letter Slot
Mystery · Occult Horror
Our take
A letter. A wish. A name. In Owen King’s eerie short story Letter Slot, a desperate teen makes a haunting bargain to save his mother. Part of The Shivers collection and rated 4.2 stars on Amazon, this bite-sized tale delivers one unsettling twist after another. Once you open the slot, there’s no going back.
Choose your retailer
About the book
What would you trade for a miracle?
Desperate to save his ailing mother, a teenage boy writes a heartfelt letter and slips it through the mail slot of an abandoned model home. He never expects an answer—let alone a bargain. One name, the letter says. Just write down someone you hate, and good fortune will follow.
At first, it feels like harmless superstition. But as the promise begins to take shape, so does the price. Because in this haunting short story by New York Times bestselling author Owen King, wishes don’t come free—and someone always pays.
The Shivers collection specializes in quiet dread, and Letter Slot is no exception.
Sometimes, the smallest decisions unlock the darkest doors.

NOS4A2
Occult Horror · Horror
Our take
What if Christmas never ended—and turned into a nightmare? Joe Hill’s NOS4A2 is a chilling, wildly imaginative horror tale with 4.4 Amazon stars and a hit AMC series. A haunted car, a psychic bridge, and a mother’s fight against a soul-stealing madman—this is supernatural suspense with teeth. Time called it “a masterwork of horror.”

"A masterwork of horror."—Time
Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be.
Charles Talent Manx has a gift of his own. He likes to take children for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the vanity plate NOS4A2. In the Wraith, he and his innocent guests can slip out of the everyday world and onto hidden roads that lead to an astonishing playground of amusements he calls Christmasland. The journey across the highway of Charlie's twisted imagination transforms his precious passengers, leaving them as terrifying and unstoppable as their benefactor.
Then comes the day when Vic goes looking for trouble...and finds her way to Charlie. That was a lifetime ago. Now, the only kid ever to escape Charlie's evil is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx hasn't stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. On the road again, he won't slow down until he's taken his revenge. He's after something very special—something Vic can never replace.
As a life-and-death battle of wills builds, Vic McQueen prepares to destroy Charlie once and for all—or die trying.

A prehistoric predator stalks a sleepy Wyoming town in this pulse-pounding survival thriller.
Arctodus
Horror
Our take
A prehistoric predator stalks a sleepy Wyoming town in this pulse-pounding survival thriller. Arctodus by L.J. Vitanza delivers heart-racing suspense, brutal wilderness horror, and a game warden up against a nightmare.

About the book
Something ancient has awoken—and it's starving.
After a harsh winter in the Wyoming wilderness, a prehistoric predator resurfaces, more aggressive and cunning than any known beast. Its new hunting ground? The quiet town of Pine Creek.
Game warden Jim Wendell thought he’d seen it all. But this isn’t just a rogue grizzly—it’s bigger, faster, and disturbingly intelligent. As mutilated bodies begin piling up, Jim realizes he’s not tracking an animal. He’s being hunted by something far worse.
With no backup and time slipping away, Jim must outsmart a predator that shouldn’t exist. Locals are vanishing. The creature is evolving. And survival might mean confronting a terror that predates civilization itself.
What happens when the apex predator… isn’t human?

Reality bends, sanity wobbles, and stupidity reigns in this gloriously weird third entry in Jason Pargin’s cult-favorite series.
What the Hell Did I Just Read
Horror · Thriller
Our take
Reality bends, sanity wobbles, and stupidity reigns in this gloriously weird third entry in Jason Pargin’s cult-favorite series. What the Hell Did I Just Read mixes cosmic horror with pitch-black humor, unhinged monsters, and zero respect for genre rules. With 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon, it's smart, stupid, and probably unsafe to read alone.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Dave, John, and Amy are back. Which means something horrifying, stupid, or cosmically wrong is about to happen. Probably all three.
This time it starts with a missing child. Simple enough, until said child may or may not be an interdimensional shapeshifter. As the trio investigates, reality starts to unravel in the most inconvenient and deeply inappropriate ways. Because when you're knee-deep in illusions, lies, and your own incompetence, the universe tends to take that personally.
Is this story true? That’s what They want you to ask. Is it disturbing, hilarious, and somehow existentially destabilizing? Absolutely.
What the Hell Did I Just Read takes cosmic horror, drags it through a pile of greasy fast food wrappers, and dares you to make sense of any of it.

Vanishing tourists.
Dirus
Horror
Our take
Vanishing tourists. Shredded campsites. An ancient predator stalking Yellowstone. Dirus by L.J. Vitanza is a razor-sharp ecological thriller with primal terror and pulse-pounding suspense. Originally a Kindle Vella Top Faved story, this gripping series opener has earned 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon. If Jurassic Park and The Grey had a love child, this would be it.

About the book
Something ancient has resurfaced.

This summer, Yellowstone becomes a hunting ground. And the most dangerous animal in the park isn’t on any of the ranger maps.

Ghosts, guilt, and a deadly mountain collide in this atmospheric thriller from bestselling author Michelle Paver.
Thin Air
Psychological Horror
Our take
Ghosts, guilt, and a deadly mountain collide in this atmospheric thriller from bestselling author Michelle Paver. Set during a 1935 expedition up Kangchenjunga, Thin Air delivers creeping dread and psychological suspense in equal measure. With 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this is one chilling climb you won’t forget.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In 1935, five Englishmen begin their ascent of Kangchenjunga, the Himalayas’ most sacred and most lethal peak. What starts as a feat of endurance quickly turns into something far more unsettling.
Among the party is Stephen, a medic and reluctant climber, shadowed by his brother’s mountaineering legacy and a nagging sense that the mountain is hiding something. Altitude sickness isn’t the only thing clouding their minds. Strange footprints appear in the snow. Whispers carry on the wind. And not everyone believes what they’re seeing is real.
As the air thins, so does the line between hallucination and haunting. Something old waits on the slopes—something vengeful. And if Stephen can’t make peace with the past, none of them will make it back down alive.

About the book
Some hotel rooms promise rest. Room 17 offers something far more chilling.

As night falls, Stella’s memories twist into fever dreams. Shadows crawl where light should live. The line between what’s real and what waits on the other side blurs, and something—or someone—is desperate to break through. She came seeking solace. What she gets is a message steeped in dread.

Bootleggers, buried gods, and a Southern Gothic secret too terrifying to stay hidden.
Revelator
Horror · Historical Fantasy
Our take
Bootleggers, buried gods, and a Southern Gothic secret too terrifying to stay hidden. Revelator by Daryl Gregory is a haunting 1930s tale of faith, family, and a personal deity with a hunger all its own. Named one of The Washington Post’s Best Books of the Year.
Choose your retailer
About the book
ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • The dark, gripping tale of a 1930’s family in the remote hills of the Smoky Mountains, their secret religion, and the daughter who turns her back on their mysterious god—from the acclaimed author of Spoonbenders.
“Gods and moonshine in the Great Depression, written with a tenderness and brutality … this is as good as novels get.” —Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians
In 1933, nine-year-old Stella is left in the care of her grandmother, Motty, in the backwoods of Tennessee. The mountains are home to dangerous secrets, and soon after she arrives, Stella wanders into a dark cavern where she encounters the family's personal god, an entity known as the Ghostdaddy.
Years later, after a tragic incident that caused her to flee, Stella—now a professional bootlegger—returns for Motty's funeral, and to check on the mysterious ten-year-old girl named Sunny that Motty adopted. Sunny appears innocent enough, but she is more powerful than Stella could imagine—and she’s a direct link to Stella's buried past and her family's destructive faith.
Haunting and wholly engrossing, summoning mesmerizing voices and giving shape to the dark, Revelator is a southern gothic tale for the ages.
