Suffer the Children
Horror
Our take
The world ends not with invasion or fire, but with children returning changed and hungry. When a global disease resurrects the dead at an unbearable cost, parents face an unlivable reality where love demands violence and survival turns communal trust into competition. Suffer the Children is a horror novel driven by moral collapse, parental desperation, and the terrifying limits of devotion when the price of life is paid in blood.

A luxury train.
With a Vengeance
Horror
Our take
A luxury train. Six enemies. One long night of reckoning. With a Vengeance by Riley Sager is a twisty, Hitchcockian thriller where a woman’s revenge plot spirals into a deadly game. Who’s killing her enemies before she can? Tense, atmospheric, and razor-sharp.

About the book
One train. Six enemies. Thirteen hours until justice—or death.
In 1942, Anna Matheson’s family was destroyed. Twelve years later, she’s lured the six responsible onto a luxury overnight train from Philadelphia to Chicago. Her plan is simple: confront them, extract confessions, and hand them over to authorities at the final stop. Vengeance, served warm.
But when one of her targets turns up dead, Anna’s careful plan derails. Someone else is onboard with their own deadly agenda—and they won’t stop until everyone dies.
Now, to get justice, Anna must save the very people she came to destroy. But as the train speeds through the night, the body count rises… and time is running out.
With a Vengeance is Riley Sager’s tautest thriller yet—a claustrophobic, edge-of-your-seat ride where revenge has a schedule... and a body count.

Psychiatrist meets possession—and becomes a believer.
Demonic Foes
Horror · Occult Horror
Our take
Psychiatrist meets possession—and becomes a believer. In Demonic Foes, Dr. Richard Gallagher recounts 25 years of real cases involving exorcisms, diabolic attacks, and unexplainable phenomena. With 4.6 stars on Amazon, this gripping memoir blends science and the supernatural in chilling, true detail.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A psychiatrist steps into the shadows—and discovers evil isn’t always imaginary.
Dr. Richard Gallagher never expected his medical career to lead him into exorcisms. But when a no-nonsense priest asked for help with a woman claiming possession, Gallagher’s scientific worldview cracked. She spoke languages she’d never studied, revealed secrets she couldn’t have known, and displayed strength far beyond the laws of nature.
This wasn’t mental illness. It was something else entirely.
Over 25 years, Gallagher became the world’s foremost psychiatric authority on possession, consulted by clergy of all faiths. In Demonic Foes, he shares his most chilling cases—from spirit-chosen children to once-in-a-century possessions—offering a rare, rational voice inside the paranormal.
Forget fiction. These true accounts will test what you believe about evil, sanity, and the supernatural.

Suburban life, true crime obsession, and one deeply unwelcome houseguest collide in The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires.
The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires
Horror · Thriller
Our take
Suburban life, true crime obsession, and one deeply unwelcome houseguest collide in The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. When Patricia Campbell starts to suspect the charming new man in town is behind a string of disappearances, no one wants to believe her, which is exactly what makes this story hit so hard. Equal parts horror, satire, and righteous female rage, this is a creepy, blood-soaked read about friendship, gaslighting, and what happens when polite society invites in a monster.

About the book
“This funny and fresh take on a classic tale manages to comment on gender roles, racial disparities, and white privilege all while creeping me all the way out. So good.”—Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of The Other Black Girl
Steel Magnolias meets Dracula in this New York Times best-selling horror novel about a women's book club that must do battle with a mysterious newcomer to their small Southern town.
Bonus features:
• Reading group guide for book clubs
• Hand-drawn map of Mt. Pleasant
• Annotated true-crime reading list by Grady Hendrix
• And more!
Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.
One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in.
Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.

Undead Dawn
Dystopian · Horror · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
Snark meets survival in Undead Dawn, the 4.4-star zombie thriller you didn’t know you needed. When the bombs fall, bad boy Cooper Kane just wants to save his mom—but he’ll have to shoot, stab, and sass his way through the undead first. Fans of World War Z and Mad Max, this one’s for you.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Fast cars. Fast women. Zero zombie survival skills.
When the world goes to hell, Cooper Kane is the last guy you'd pick for your apocalypse team. But after the bombs fall and Phoenix becomes ground zero for the undead, Kane has only one mission: save his mom—no matter how many flesh-eaters stand in his way.
Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a ragtag crew that includes a sharp-shooting senior, a foul-mouthed survivalist, and a dangerously mysterious blonde, Kane fights through blood-soaked chaos across Arizona.
Undead Dawn is an adrenaline-pumping, darkly funny zombie apocalypse thriller where survival isn’t guaranteed—but attitude is.
If The Walking Dead had a smartass getaway driver and a killer soundtrack, it’d feel a lot like this.
The world’s ending. Try not to die laughing.

Theme park turned battleground.
FantasticLand
Horror
Our take
Theme park turned battleground. Teen tribes. Heads on spikes. FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven is a 4.1-star cult-favorite horror novel told through chilling interviews and viral aftermath. Think Lord of the Flies meets Battle Royale—and it’s trending on #BookTok for a reason.

About the book
Welcome to FantasticLand—where the fun stopped and the nightmare began.
After a hurricane isolates the Florida theme park, what should have been a survival story becomes a blood-soaked descent into madness. When rescuers finally arrive five weeks later, they find heads on spikes, bones in the gift shops, and a new kind of horror born from tribal chaos.
What happened to the mostly teen staff left behind? Presented as a gripping investigation through first-person interviews and found footage-style recollections, FantasticLand reveals how the Pirates, Freaks, ShopGirls, and Mole People turned a park into a war zone.
This chilling, BookTok-favorite horror novel is Lord of the Flies meets Battle Royale—a savage exploration of identity, influence, and what’s left when society disappears.
Because sometimes, the scariest thing is us.

A cursed tree.
Jackknife
Horror · Thriller · Occult Horror
Our take
A cursed tree. A long-buried knife. A story that should’ve stayed untold. Jackknife by Joe Hill is a bone-chilling occult suspense short with 4.0 stars and over 2,000 reviews. Part of The Shivers collection, it’s the kind of tale you read in one sitting—and regret just as quickly.

Serial killers don’t confess to just anyone—they save it for Jack Steen.
The Asylum Confessions: Killer Families
Horror · Thriller
Our take
Serial killers don’t confess to just anyone—they save it for Jack Steen. The Asylum Confessions: Killer Families unearths four chilling tales from the death ward of a criminal asylum. With 4.5 stars on Amazon and over 2,500 ratings, this darkly addictive read dives into the minds of murderers—and they might be lying.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Everyone dies eventually. But not before they talk to Jack Steen.
On the death ward of an asylum for the criminally insane, Jack isn’t just a night nurse—he’s the last audience for society’s most twisted minds. Their price for a painless end? One final, brutal confession.
But these aren’t bedtime stories. These are tales soaked in blood and soaked in lies. Patient 424 killed for family. Patient 983 says she’s a perfect mom. One’s a wannabe mobster. One raised pigs—and nightmares.
Jack wants the truth. The killers want control. And what starts as a twisted game of words turns into something darker: a manipulation of the mind, a descent into madness, and a warning you’ll be too late to heed.
The killers are confessing. But are they telling the truth—or rewriting it?

Our take
A remote mansion turns desire into a nightly negotiation, where refusal still feels like a kind of surrender.

About the book
A classic fairy tale gets a horrifying, adult twist, in this suspenseful romance by the author of The Night Inside.
Twenty years ago, Simon Donovan, an antiquities scholar, wronged Sidonie Moreau, his former research assistant—and she has not forgotten.

Matthew is intrigued by the mysterious Sidonie, but when she reveals what she wants, he is horrified: his blood, willingly given. No harm will come to him if he refuses, and his days leave him free to paint as he pleases, but each night she must ask and he must answer. Trapped by the vast wilderness all around them, Matthew has no choice but to submit to her terms.
Although he vows to never surrender to Sidonie, Matthew cannot ignore her smile, her charm, or the sorrow in her eyes. Grappling with secrets within his heart, tempted by desire and despair, he knows one night he just might say yes . . .

About the book
“A deep, dark, twisted nightmare of a ride” from the USA Today bestselling author of The Dead Girl in 2A (Miami Books Examiner).
In 1981, three fourteen-year-old boys witness a horrific murder in the Oregon woods near their homes. Sucked into becoming accomplices to the subsequent cover-up, they swear never to talk about what happened.
Thirty years later, Tommy Devereaux has become a bestselling author, using writing as his therapy. Finally, he is ready to tell the world what happened, even if he disguises the killing as fiction. But his life is set to unravel when he is approached by a woman who asks for his autograph, leaving behind a note which reads: “You didn’t even change my name.” Tommy’s worst nightmare has come true. A figure from his past has returned, threatening to divulge his darkest secret unless he agrees to do everything she asks of him. Thus begins a deadly cat-and-mouse game that can only end with one or both of their destructions.
“Wilson provides serious shivers for readers.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Gripping, gory, and terrifying . . . impossible to put down, and the shock ending will leave readers reeling.”—Booklist
“Wilson is without a doubt one of the most talented authors today.”—Miami Books Examiner
