A horror novel becomes a map for real killings, and every page points back to the house where it was written.
The Nightmare Man
Horror · Thriller
Our take
A horror novel becomes a map for real killings, and every page points back to the house where it was written. When detective Mills investigates a string of ritualistic murders tied to Ben Bookman’s latest book, Ben is forced to confront the Blackwood family legacy, a forbidden library, and the possibility that something ancient has slipped free. A haunted-house horror built on cursed stories, buried memory, and mounting dread.

About the book
T. Kingfisher meets Cassandra Khaw in this “fast-paced” haunted house story full of “old-school horror” and “brimming with edgy tension and evil” (Library Journal)!
When the terrifying plot of a horror novel comes to life, its author discovers there’s a fine line between humanity and monstrosity . . .
Blackwood mansion looms, surrounded by nightmare pines, atop the hill over the small town of Crooked Tree. Ben Bookman, bestselling novelist and heir to the Blackwood estate, spent a weekend at the ancestral home to finish writing his latest horror novel, The Scarecrow. Now, on the eve of the book’s release, the terrible story within begins to unfold in real life.
Detective Mills arrives at the scene of a gruesome murder: a family butchered and bundled inside cocoons stitched from corn husks, and hung from the rafters of a barn, eerily mirroring the opening of Bookman’s latest novel. When another family is killed in a similar manner, Mills, along with his daughter, rookie detective Samantha Blue, is determined to find the link to the book—and the killer—before the story reaches its chilling climax.
As the series of “Scarecrow crimes” continues to mirror the book, Ben quickly becomes the prime suspect. He can’t remember much from the night he finished writing the novel, but he knows he wrote it in The Atrium, his grandfather’s forbidden room full of numbered books. Thousands of books. Books without words.
As Ben digs deep into Blackwood’s history he learns he may have triggered a release of something trapped long ago—and it won’t stop with the horrors buried within the pages of his book.

Old: After her mother’s death, Yeine Darr is summoned to Sky and named heiress to the king.
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
Fantasy · Horror
Our take
Old:
After her mother’s death, Yeine Darr is summoned to Sky and named heiress to the king. But the throne of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is a deadly prize, and Yeine must survive a brutal power struggle. As she uncovers secrets about her mother and the gods bound to her, Yeine faces choices that will shape the fate of the world.
New:
A Throne. A Murder. A Whole Lot of Chaos. N.K. Jemisin’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms didn’t win the Locus Award for nothing. When Yeine Darr unexpectedly becomes a contender for the throne, she’s thrown into a whirlwind of cutthroat politics, ancient gods with agendas, and her mother’s mysterious death. Oh, and the floating city of Sky? Not exactly the chillest place to figure out who to trust—or survive. Epic fantasy lovers, brace yourselves. This one’s a masterpiece.

Krampus
Horror
Our take
Santa’s no saint—and Krampus wants revenge. From the creator of The Child Thief comes Krampus: The Yule Lord, a dark and gorgeously illustrated tale of ancient magic, vengeance, and a songwriter caught in a mythic war.

About the book
On Christmas Eve in Boone County, West Virginia, down-on-his-luck songwriter Jesse Walker sees something no one should: Santa being hunted by demons. Moments later, a magical sack falls from the sky, catapulting Jesse into the clutches of Krampus—the terrifying Yule Lord, long imprisoned and furious.
Krampus claims Santa is a fraud who stole his magic, his holiday, and his rightful place in the world. With his revenge long overdue, he’s determined to reclaim Yuletide—starting with Santa’s head.
As Jesse is drawn deeper into an ancient feud between dark myth and holiday legend, the line between good and evil blurs. To survive, he must decide where he stands—redeem himself and his family, or lose everything.
Because this Christmas, Krampus isn’t coming for cookies. He’s coming for blood.

About the book
With nothing but the clothes on his back—and something horrific snapping at his heels—Jack Winter fled his rural Georgia home when he was still just a boy. Watching the world he knew vanish in a trucker’s rearview mirror, he thought he was leaving an unspeakable nightmare behind forever. But years later, the bright new future he’s built suddenly turns pitch black, as something fiendishly familiar looms dead ahead.
When Jack, his wife Aimee, and their two small children survive a violent car crash, it seems like a miracle. But Jack knows what he saw on the road that night, and it wasn’t divine intervention. The profound evil from his past won’t let them die…at least not quickly. It’s back, and it’s hungry; ready to make Jack pay for running, to work its malignant magic on his angelic youngest daughter, and to whisper a chilling promise: I’ve always been here, and I’ll never leave.
Country comfort is no match for spine-tingling Southern gothic suspense in Ania Ahlborn’s tale of an ordinary man with a demon on his back. Seed plants its page-turning terror deep in your soul, and lets it grow wild.

From the award-winning, bestselling author of Bone White: "Riveting, idiosyncratic horror at its best . . . Leaves readers breathless with anticipation" (Fresh Fiction).

In the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains, an aging house leaves much to be desired, but Alan Hammerstun hopes it will be the fresh start he and his wife, Heather, need after her two miscarriages and later suicide attempt.

When he sees an injured child healed by its waters after being hit by a car, Alan discovers the town's greatest secret.

A must-read for fans of The Haunting of Hill House and Daisy Jones & the Six.
Wylding Hall
Horror · Dark Fantasy · Urban Fantasy
Our take
Shirley Jackson Award winner Wylding Hall (4.1 stars) is a chilling gothic tale told in multiple voices, where a British folk band records a legendary album—and loses their lead singer to the house itself. What happened inside those haunted halls? Atmospheric, eerie, and unforgettable. A must-read for fans of The Haunting of Hill House and Daisy Jones & the Six.
Choose your retailer
About the book
When a young British acid-folk band retreats to a crumbling estate to record their defining album, they expect inspiration—not terror. Wylding Hall is ancient, isolated, and steeped in secrets. But something within its ivy-clad walls has been waiting.
The music they create will become legendary. But so will the mystery.
Julian Blake—lead singer, haunting voice, rising star—vanishes into thin air.
Years later, the surviving members reunite to recount what really happened in that strange summer of superstition, shadows, and supernatural dread. But memory is unreliable, and their stories don’t quite match.
Did something take Julian? Or did he choose to disappear?
In this Shirley Jackson Award–winning gothic horror, truth is a shifting thing—much like the hall itself.
Some doors should never be opened.

About the book
A Buzzfeed Best Gift Book of the Year
"A dark, atmospheric, and feminist story of three women in New York City's Gilded Age, each determined to thrive in a society hell-bent on keeping them down, and using their coven to do so." —Buzzfeed
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply.
New York in the spring of 1880 is a place alive with wonder and curiosity. In this captivating Gilded Age historical fantasy, residents enthusiastically engage in both scientific experimentation and spiritualist pursuits. Séances are the entertainment of choice in exclusive social circles, and many enterprising women—some possessed of true intuitive powers, and some gifted with the art of performance—find work as mediums.
Enter Adelaide Thom and Eleanor St. Clair. At their humble teashop, Tea and Sympathy, they provide a place for whispered confessions, secret cures, and spiritual assignations for a select coven of ladies, who speak the right words and ask the right questions. But the profile of Tea and Sympathy is about to change with the fortuitous arrival of Beatrice Dunn.
When seventeen-year-old Beatrice leaves the safety of her village to answer an ad that reads "Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply," she has little inclination of what the job will demand of her. Beatrice doesn’t know it yet, but she is no ordinary small-town girl; she has great spiritual gifts—ones that will serve as her greatest asset and also place her in grave danger. Under the tutelage of Adelaide and Eleanor, Beatrice comes to harness many of her powers, but not even they can prepare her for the occult evils lurking in the darkest corners of the city or the courage it will take to face them.

Pilgrim
Historical Fiction · Horror
Our take
Pilgrim follows a German knight and his companions as they leave 12th-century Jerusalem after years of holy war, only to find the journey home shaped by fear, faith, and things older than either. Their return becomes both a physical trial and a metaphysical descent through history, folklore, and spiritual terror. This is medieval horror with crusader-era brutality, religious dread, and mythic darkness.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Lüthi stitches his horrors on the underbelly of the Levant, creating a vast and terrifying medieval epic. Pilgrim is grand storytelling, worthy of the chronicler, worthy of the poet."
--Coy Hall, author of The Promise of Plague Wolves
"In all the years that I've been reading, I've never read anything as gripping and breath-taking as Pilgrim."
--Alpha's Court
Set in 12th-century Jerusalem, Pilgrim follows the treacherous journey of a German knight and his companions as they return home after seven arduous years battling for God in the Holy Land. Within this sprawling tale lies a tapestry of medieval horror, intertwining history and folklore, encompassing both a metaphysical and literal odyssey.
Inspired by a rich blend of Arabic, Christian, and pre-Islamic traditions, Pilgrim delivers a pulse-pounding story of action, adventure, and bone-chilling horror.

About the book
A séance turns bloody. A conspiracy older than the crown threatens to rise. And young Arthur Conan Doyle is the only man standing in its way.

Alongside Sparks, Doyle races against time to stop a reign of terror that could reshape humanity’s fate. But as the shadows close in, he begins to wonder—how much of his destiny is already written?
