American Rapture
Horror · Psychological Horror
Our take
A girl raised to fear desire must cross an America where desire has become the engine of apocalypse. In American Rapture, Sophie searches for her family as a virus turns the infected feral and the Midwest collapses around her. It’s body-horror survival fiction shaped by religious repression, sexual terror, and the brutal unraveling of innocence.

Our take
A crumbling house, a vanished wife, and a forest town full of whispers turn one marriage into a Gothic trap.

Jacob
Horror · LGBTQIA+
Our take
A vampire’s confession becomes a dangerous invitation in Jacob, a horror novel about immortality, hunger, and the stories predators tell to survive. After centuries of secrecy, Jacob offers his life to an ambitious writer, but his account of nightsiders, daykeepers, and forbidden transformation blurs the line between revelation and manipulation.

About the book
Winner of the Lord Ruthven Award for Best Vampire Novel of the Year: The first horror novel from the author of Star Trek's "The Trouble with Tribbles" script.
Includes the bonus short story "Jacob in Manhattan."
With a writing legacy that includes Star Trek, Land of the Lost, and the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning novella The Martian Child, David Gerrold knows what it's like to be an author. Writing about vampires should be easy for him, right? But real vampires are far more sinister in real life than they are in fiction. Jacob is the story of an author's encounters with the undead creature who gives him success, forbidden knowledge, and ultimately, a choice.
Jacob is a cunning survivor. Orphaned in Seattle in the mid-nineteenth century, he could have been someone's convenient meal. Instead, he becomes the "daykeeper" for a man he knows only as Monsieur. Then he discovers the hidden community of nightsiders—men who live in secrecy and darkness—the true apex predators.
To be a nightsider is to experience heightened senses, bursts of super-strength, and frequent hallucinogenic episodes. Nightsiders also need to lie dormant to recover from their excesses. The daykeeper must be a protector against the daylight. But Jacob wanted more than that; he craved the promise of immortality. And so a century later, Jacob tells his story, this time to an ambitious young writer. It's a different kind of interview. Is it a seduction? Or is he just playing with his food? And who will write the final chapter?

My Heart Is a Chainsaw
Horror · Indigenous Fiction
Our take
My Heart Is a Chainsaw follows a horror-obsessed outcast who reads her town like a slasher movie long before the bodies start to appear. Jade Daniels uses masked killers and final girls to make sense of trauma, isolation, and a place built on buried violence. This literary horror novel blends bloody genre homage with grief, rage, Indigenous displacement, and the desperate need to belong.

About the book
Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel
Shirley Jackson meets Friday the 13th in the rollicking, bloody first novel of The Indian Lake trilogy by the master of modern horror Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians and The Buffalo Hunter Hunter.
“Some girls just don’t know how to die…”
Shirley Jackson meets Friday the 13th in My Heart Is a Chainsaw, written by the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians Stephen Graham Jones, called “a literary master” by National Book Award winner Tananarive Due and “one of our most talented living writers” by Tommy Orange.
Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.
Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies…especially the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood actually starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls us into her dizzying, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold.
Yet, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream, a surprising and intimate portrait emerges…a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl beneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry, yes, but also a girl who easily cries, fiercely loves, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feelings are too big for her body. My Heart Is a Chainsaw is her story, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph.

Our take
Don’t Close Your Eyes turns a quiet return home into a murder investigation where grief, suspicion, and fear close in fast. After Natalie St. John finds her friend dead in Port Ariel, threatening calls and a rising body count force her to question who has been hiding behind a familiar face, making this a strong fit for readers who like gothic-tinged suspense with personal stakes.

About the book
A woman must uncover who's behind a string of murders before she's next in this chilling thriller by the author of In the Event of My Death.
"Don't Close Your Eyes has all the gothic sensibilities of a Victoria Holt novel, combined with the riveting modern suspense of Sharyn McCrumb's The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter. Don't close your eyes—and don't miss this one!" —Meagan McKinney, author of In The Dark
Nestled on the shores of Lake Erie, the small town of Port Ariel, Ohio, is a welcome haven for Natalie St. John. Back home for the first time in years, she plans to visit old friends, mend a broken heart, and take a break from her busy veterinarian practice. But her peace is shattered her first night back, when she discovers the murdered body of her friend, Tamara Peyton.
Was it a random act of violence . . . or something personal? The answer becomes clear as Natalie is stalked by the voice of "Tamara," whose terrifying phone calls warn her that she too, is going to die.
One by one, the people closest to Tamara are being savagely murdered. But neither Natalie nor Sheriff Nick Meredith recognizes the face of the devious killer who walks among them, hiding behind a well-crafted lie. Now, a murderer's deadly act of vengeance demands one more sacrifice—and Natalie has been chosen to pay the price . . .

Our take
Heart-Shaped Box turns a macabre online purchase into a relentless haunting that follows its buyer far beyond the thrill of possession. Judas Coyne, an aging death-metal legend with a taste for grim collectibles, buys a dead man’s suit and inherits the vengeful ghost attached to it.

About the book
“Wild, mesmerizing, perversely witty….A Valentine from hell.”
—Janet Maslin, New York Times
The publication of Joe Hill’s beautifully textured, deliciously scary debut novel Heart-Shaped Box was greeted with the sort of overwhelming critical acclaim that is rare for a work of skin-crawling supernatural terror. It was cited as a Best Book of the Year by Atlanta magazine, the Tampa Tribune, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, and the Village Voice, to name but a few. Award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling Neil Gaiman of The Sandman, The Graveyard Book, and Anansi Boys fame calls Joe Hill’s story of a jaded rock star haunted by a ghost he purchased on the internet, “relentless, gripping, powerful.” Open this Heart-Shaped Box from two-time Bram Stoker Award-winner Hill if you dare and see what all the well-deserved hoopla is about.
Aging death-metal rock legend Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals...a used hangman's noose...a snuff film. But nothing he possesses is as unique or as dreadful as his latest purchase in this chilling gothic horror novel: a one-of-a-kind curiosity bought off the Internet that arrives at his door in a black heart-shaped box...a musty dead man's suit still inhabited by the spirit of its late owner. And now everywhere Judas Coyne goes, the old man is there—watching, waiting, dangling a razor blade on a chain from his bony hand.

The Lesser Dead
Horror · Dark Fantasy
Our take
The Lesser Dead turns 1970s New York into a grimy vampire underworld where the hunters are not nearly as safe as they think. Joey Peacock has spent decades feeding, drifting through clubs, cabs, subways, and hidden tunnels with practiced ease, until strange undead children appear beneath Manhattan. This is vampire horror with sharp menace, urban decay, and a narrator who knows monsters can still be afraid.

About the book
WINNER OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION’S BEST HORROR NOVEL OF THE YEAR
“As much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz” (#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs), Christopher Buehlman excels in twisting the familiar into newfound dread in his “genre-bending” (California Literary Review) novels. Now the acclaimed author of Those Across the River delivers his most disquieting tale yet...
The secret is, vampires are real and I am one.
The secret is, I’m stealing from you what is most truly yours and I’m not sorry...
New York City in 1978 is a dirty, dangerous place to live. And die. Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybody—he has spent the last forty years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk clubs and discotheques, feeding by night, and sleeping by day with others of his kind in the macabre labyrinth under the city’s sidewalks.
The subways are his playground and his highway, shuttling him throughout Manhattan to bleed the unsuspecting in the Sheep Meadow of Central Park or in the backseats of Checker cabs, or even those in their own apartments who are too hypnotized by sitcoms to notice him opening their windows. It’s almost too easy.
Until one night he sees them hunting on his beloved subway. The children with the merry eyes. Vampires, like him…or not like him. Whatever they are, whatever their appearance means, the undead in the tunnels of Manhattan are not as safe as they once were.
And neither are the rest of us.

Black House
Horror · Suspense
Our take
Black House turns a small-town murder investigation into a return to buried memory, parallel worlds, and evil that refuses to stay contained. Retired detective Jack Sawyer is pulled into a string of gruesome Wisconsin killings that echo an older horror, forcing him toward the forgotten truths of the Territories and a house hiding something far worse than one human killer.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of The Talisman, “an intelligent…suspenseful page-turner” (The Wall Street Journal) from “two master craftsmen, each at the top of his game” (The Washington Post).
Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer traveled to a parallel universe called the Territories to save his mother and her Territories “Twinner” from an agonizing death that would have brought cataclysm to the other world. Now Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, Wisconsin. He has no recollection of his adventures in the Territories, and was compelled to leave the police force when an odd, happenstance event threatened to awaken those memories.
When a series of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin that are reminiscent of those committed several decades ago by a madman named Albert Fish, the killer is dubbed “the Fishman,” and Jack’s buddy, the local chief of police, begs Jack to help the inexperienced force find him. But are these new killings merely the work of a disturbed individual, or has a mysterious and malignant force been unleashed in this quiet town? What causes Jack’s inexplicable waking dreams—if that is what they are—of robins’ eggs and red feathers? It’s almost as if someone is trying to tell him something. As this cryptic message becomes increasingly impossible to ignore, Jack is drawn back to the Territories and to his own hidden past, where he may find the soul-strength to enter a terrifying house at the end of a deserted tract of forest, there to encounter the obscene and ferocious evils sheltered within it.

Our take
Midnight turns a quiet California town into a place where the familiar begins to feel dangerously wrong. In Moonlight Cove, residents are changing in ways that strip away emotion or unleash violent instinct, leaving a handful of survivors to uncover what’s happening before fear gives way to slaughter. This is suspense-driven horror built around paranoia, isolation, and the terror of watching humanity come undone.

The citizens of Moonlight Cove, California, are changing. Some are losing touch with their deepest emotions. Others are surrendering to their wildest urges. And the few who remain unchanged are absolutely terrified—if not brutally murdered in the dead of night...

Wetbones
Horror · Mystery · Thriller · Occult Horror
Our take
Wetbones drags addiction, violence, and cosmic horror into the rot beneath Hollywood’s glamour, where pleasure becomes something predatory. A screenwriter, a grieving reverend, and baffled police follow separate trails of mutilation and disappearance toward a force that consumes flesh and sanity, making this a brutal splatterpunk horror novel for readers drawn to excess, corruption, and supernatural dread.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A flesh-and-soul-devouring addiction runs rampant through the dark playground of the Hollywood elite in this tale of horror from a Bram Stoker Award winner.
Welcome to Los Angeles, where every addiction is encouraged. . . .
Struggling Hollywood screenwriter Tom Prentice can hardly believe that the emaciated and mutilated corpse lying on the morgue slab was once his ex-wife. Then his roommate's missing brother turns up in a local hospital having sliced open his own chest and legs for some sick, inexplicable reason. In Oakland, the Reverend Garner, a recovering addict, leaves his ministry in search of his teenage daughter, who was last seen in the company of her ghoulish kidnapper. And the Los Angeles police are meanwhile baffled in their hunt for the elusive "Wetbones" serial killer who leaves nothing of his victims behind except a damp, grisly pile of bones.
Though Tom, the reverend, and the LAPD are on separate quests for answers, they are all being led into the darkest shadows of Hollywood, where the debauchery never ceases and pleasure is a drug that devours human flesh, blood, and sanity. But the true source of the all-consuming addiction is the most horrifying revelation of all, for it is not of this rational Earth.
From International Horror Guild Award–winning author John Shirley, the acclaimed "splatterpunk" classic Wetbones combines the monstrous inventiveness of H. P. Lovecraft with the exquisite excess of Clive Barker. A true masterwork of modern terror, it's decidedly not for the faint of heart.
