About the book
A young woman living in a rigid, puritanical society discovers dark powers within herself in this stunning, feminist fantasy debut.
In the lands of Bethel, where the Prophet's word is law, Immanuelle Moore's very existence is blasphemy. Her mother’s union with an outsider of a different race cast her once-proud family into disgrace, so Immanuelle does her best to worship the Father, follow Holy Protocol, and lead a life of submission, devotion, and absolute conformity, like all the other women in the settlement.
But a mishap lures her into the forbidden Darkwood surrounding Bethel, where the first prophet once chased and killed four powerful witches. Their spirits are still lurking there, and they bestow a gift on Immanuelle: the journal of her dead mother, who Immanuelle is shocked to learn once sought sanctuary in the wood.
Fascinated by the secrets in the diary, Immanuelle finds herself struggling to understand how her mother could have consorted with the witches. But when she begins to learn grim truths about the Church and its history, she realizes the true threat to Bethel is its own darkness. And she starts to understand that if Bethel is to change, it must begin with her.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved author of the Vampire Chronicles, the first installation of her spellbinding Mayfair Chronicles—the inspiration for the hit television series!
“Extraordinary . . . Anne Rice offers more than just a story; she creates myth.”—The Washington Post Book World
Rowan Mayfair, a beautiful woman, a brilliant practitioner of neurosurgery—aware that she has special powers but unaware that she comes from an ancient line of witches—finds the drowned body of a man off the coast of California and brings him to life. He is Michael Curry, who was born in New Orleans and orphaned in childhood by fire on Christmas Eve, who pulled himself up from poverty, and who now, in his brief interval of death, has acquired a sensory power that mystifies and frightens him. As these two, fiercely drawn to each other, fall in love and—in passionate alliance—set out to solve the mystery of her past and his unwelcome gift, an intricate tale of evil unfolds.
Moving through time from today’s New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and a château in the Louis XIV’s France, and from the coffee plantations of Port au Prince, where the great Mayfair fortune is made and the legacy of their dark power is almost destroyed, to Civil War New Orleans, The Witching Hour is a luminous, deeply enchanting novel.

This fits horror readers who love ghost stories with creepy small-town history, family tension, and a body count that refuses to stay in the past.
The Dead Children’s Playground
Horror · Thriller · Paranormal Romance
Our take
A haunted playground beside a cemetery is already bad enough. Add child ghosts, a long-dead serial killer, a flu-like outbreak, and two sisters carrying plenty of emotional wreckage, and things get gloriously cursed fast. In The Dead Children’s Playground, Kylie and Kayla are pulled into a chilling supernatural mystery where the past is very much not buried and the cost of finding answers could be permanent. This fits horror readers who love ghost stories with creepy small-town history, family tension, and a body count that refuses to stay in the past.

About the book
Queen Beauty and King Charming lived happily ever after. At least, until the birth of their daughter. Despite their invitations, none of the fairies show up to give the princess a name-blessing, something Beauty is determined her daughter should receive. Rashly, she decrees that her daughter will either have a name-blessing or no name at all. With that one decision, she unwittingly casts a dark shadow over the land.
Growing up, the princess shared her mother's dream of getting a name-blessing, but that's the only thing that they have in common. For everything else, there's the Lady in the Mirror. The Lady listens to her, and unlike her father, isn't afraid to criticise her mother, Beauty.
After many years of waiting, the fairies are finally coming, and the princess will do anything to get her name-blessing.
Anything.

About the book
A princess without legitimacy. A conqueror without a heart. One chance to save the people she cares about. No one cares about Princess Elizabeth. Her surly fellow nobles question her claim to the crown. Without a real apple to be found, she may only eat candy fruits that rot her teeth. And her parents offer her only saccharine pep talks. The mysterious Goblin Market calls out to her and she is faced with an unwholesome bargain with its dark Goblin Queen. The Nutcracker King is coming, accompanied by his tin soldier army. Elizabeth doesn’t know the limits of the tyrant’s ambitions for her kingdom – and maybe herself – but she knows she’ll do anything to protect her people, her claim to the throne and her father’s very life.

About the book
A Most Anticipated Novel by Pop Sugar * Book Riot * Betches * Bustle * and more!
"Utterly spellbinding....Witchcraft meets thriller."--Pop Sugar
Two sisters go missing on a remote Scottish island. Twenty years later, one is found--but she's still the same age as when she disappeared. The secrets of witches have reached across the centuries in this chilling Gothic thriller from the author of the acclaimed The Nesting.
When single mother Liv is commissioned to paint a mural in a 100-year-old lighthouse on a remote Scottish island, it's an opportunity to start over with her three daughters--Luna, Sapphire, and Clover. When two of her daughters go missing, she's frantic. She learns that the cave beneath the lighthouse was once a prison for women accused of witchcraft. The locals warn her about wildlings, supernatural beings who mimic human children, created by witches for revenge. Liv is told wildlings are dangerous and must be killed.
Twenty-two years later, Luna has been searching for her missing sisters and mother. When she receives a call about her youngest sister, Clover, she's initially ecstatic. Clover is the sister she remembers--except she's still seven years old, the age she was when she vanished. Luna is worried Clover is a wildling. Luna has few memories of her time on the island, but she'll have to return to find the truth of what happened to her family. But she doesn't realize just how much the truth will change her.

In the haunted town of Black Spring, the Black Rock Witch roams with her eyes and mouth sewn shut.
HEX
Horror · Occult Horror
Our take
In the haunted town of Black Spring, the Black Rock Witch roams with her eyes and mouth sewn shut. No one may leave, and no one dares defy her—until a group of teens break the rules and unleash something unspeakable. HEX, praised by Stephen King and George R.R. Martin, is Thomas Olde Heuvelt’s chilling horror debut.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Whoever is born in Black Spring is doomed to stay until death. Whoever settles there never leaves.
The town looks idyllic, nestled in the Hudson Valley, but its streets belong to the Black Rock Witch—a seventeenth-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Muzzled, she wanders through kitchens, bedrooms, and children’s dreams, her presence a warning never to look upon her face.
Desperate to contain the curse, the elders of Black Spring monitor every movement through hidden cameras and strict rules. But when restless teenagers defy the town’s silence, their rebellion awakens something far older and far more terrifying.
Praised by Stephen King and George R.R. Martin, HEX marks Thomas Olde Heuvelt’s electrifying English-language debut in modern horror.
