The zombie outbreak begins with a woman who wakes dead, thinking clearly, and surrounded by creatures that recognize her as one of their own.
Monster Nation
Dystopian · Horror · Dark Fantasy · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
The zombie outbreak begins with a woman who wakes dead, thinking clearly, and surrounded by creatures that recognize her as one of their own. Monster Nation fits zombie horror through its dual focus on Nilla’s uncanny transformation and Captain Clark’s fight to lead survivors as the American West collapses under an epidemic with darker forces moving beneath it.

About the book
The second entry in this "inventive and exciting" zombie series that began with Monster Island (Publishers Weekly).
This is where it begins. This is where the end of the world begins? She wakes up alone and feeling like she's half-dead. She can't remember her name. She staggers outside, looking for help—and that's when she sees that the dead have returned to life, that zombies are running in the streets and devouring the living. And she's one of them. She isn't breathing. The zombies leave her alone. Because they know she's one of their kind. And yet she differs from the brainless ghouls around her in some crucial ways. Somehow she's kept her intelligence intact, if not her memory. And being dead has certain compensations. She has developed strange powers. She calls herself Nilla, and all she knows is that staying alive only gets harder after you die? Meanwhile the National Guard has its hands full with the worst epidemic ever to strike the American west. From California to Colorado every town, every city is being overrun. Captain Bannerman Clark isn't prepared for this. He's semi-retired and he hasn't fired a gun in years, not since the Vietnam war. Yet it seems there's no one else around to take charge. As the world we know collapses he must find in himself the brains, the guts, and the moral courage to lead the survivors to safety, if there's any to be had. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, shadowy players are just beginning to show their hands. There's more going on here than meets the eye, and Clark and Nilla both have parts to play in a game they can't comprehend?

The Devils of D-Day turns a sealed WWII tank into the doorway for an older, bloodier horror.
The Devils of D-Day
Dark Fantasy · Horror
Our take
The Devils of D-Day turns a sealed WWII tank into the doorway for an older, bloodier horror. When surveyor Dan McCook discovers the abandoned machine outside a French village, curiosity draws him toward the thing trapped inside. This classic horror novel blends wartime history, demonic possession, and apocalyptic dread into a story where one opened hatch could restart the world’s nightmares.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Unsealing the hatch of a rusty old WWII tank will unleash a demonic nightmare in this novel by "the master of modern horror" (Library Journal).
Thirty-five years have passed since the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day turned the tide of World War II against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Reich, and it's been more than three decades since the residents of the tiny French village of Le Vey witnessed the horrific slaughter of hundreds of German soldiers by thirteen black tanks. One of the tanks remains on the outskirts of town—its hatch mysteriously sealed, trapping its controller inside—only to be discovered by American surveyor and cartographer Dan McCook.
Driven by curiosity and an inexplicable compulsion, McCook is about to do the unthinkable and release what lives within the tank upon an unsuspecting world. And once the monstrous occupant reunites with others of its demonic kind, a new world war will begin, one that threatens to wash the earth in blood and drag every man, woman, and child through the fiery gates of hell.
A chilling and ingeniously original tale of demonic possession and apocalyptic possibilities, The Devils of D-Day is classic horror at its best, from the award-winning author of The Manitou.

The Narrows turns post-storm recovery into something far older and more sinister than a damaged town can explain.
The Narrows
Horror · Thriller · Occult Horror
Our take
The Narrows turns post-storm recovery into something far older and more sinister than a damaged town can explain. As Stillwater, Maryland begins to rebuild, strange sightings, impossible encounters, and mutilated animals pull Sergeant Ben Journell into an investigation shaped by dread, grief, and ancient evil. This is small-town horror built around atmosphere, creeping folklore, and the fear that some waters hide more than wreckage.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A creepy and atmospheric slice of small town horror from the Bram Stoker award finalist and bestselling author of Come With Me. Perfect for readers of Christopher Golden and fans of Mike Flanagan.
In the aftermath of a terrible storm, the town of Stillwater, Maryland tries to recover what it has lost. From flooded roads and houses, to ruined businesses—the residents of the town begin to clean up and return to normal.
In the midst of the clear up, people begin to see things. Matthew Crawly spies his father in the woodlands above the Narrows, but that cannot be possible; Maggie Quedentock nearly hits a child with her car, only to find an empty road lying before her; and in the middle of it all, Sergeant Ben Journell is thrust into an impossible investigation. Animals are being slaughtered, their brains systematically removed from their bodies. Something is happening to the town of Stillwater…something dark and ancient and evil has its grip on everyone.
The saying goes, still waters run deep, but no one in Stillwater is prepared for just how deep they run, and no one can possibly be ready for what they might find when they reach the bottom of the gray waters of the Narrows.

About the book
From Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic, comes Certain Dark Things, a pulse-pounding neo-noir that reimagines vampire lore.
Welcome to Mexico City, an oasis in a sea of vampires. Domingo, a lonely garbage-collecting street kid, is just trying to survive its heavily policed streets when a jaded vampire on the run swoops into his life. Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers, is smart, beautiful, and dangerous. Domingo is mesmerized.
Atl needs to quickly escape the city, far from the rival narco-vampire clan relentlessly pursuing her. Her plan doesn’t include Domingo, but little by little, Atl finds herself warming up to the scrappy young man and his undeniable charm. As the trail of corpses stretches behind her, local cops and crime bosses both start closing in.
Vampires, humans, cops, and criminals collide in the dark streets of Mexico City. Do Atl and Domingo even stand a chance of making it out alive? Or will the city devour them all?

Such Sharp Teeth
Horror · Creature Feature · Occult Horror · Supernatural Horror
Our take
Transformation becomes terrifying when the thing inside you starts answering back. In Such Sharp Teeth, Rachel Harrison follows Rory Morris as a reluctant return to her hometown turns into a violent encounter, a strange survival, and a body that no longer feels entirely human. This horror novel blends werewolf mythology, dark humor, romance, and trauma as Rory confronts rage, vulnerability, and the danger of becoming herself.

About the book
A young woman in need of a transformation finds herself in touch with the animal inside in this gripping, incisive USA Today bestselling novel from the author of Cackle and The Return.
Rory Morris isn’t thrilled to be moving back to her hometown, even if it is temporary. There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant, estranged from the baby’s father, and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought she’d put in her rearview. After a night out at a bar where she runs into Ian, an old almost-flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, she’s attacked.
Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. She’s unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silver—and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. She’s changing into someone else—something else, maybe even a monster. But does that mean she’s putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance?
This darkly comedic love story is a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma, rage, and vulnerability.

"An inventively plotted, goose-bumps inducing ghost story." —Booklist

A brother shaped by religious terror descends into guilt, obsession, and possible damnation after a murder tears his world open.
The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner
Horror
Our take
A brother shaped by religious terror descends into guilt, obsession, and possible damnation after a murder tears his world open. In The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, Robert’s fractured mind and fierce Calvinist beliefs turn this gothic classic into a study of supernatural evil, moral corruption, and psychological collapse. It belongs on any list built for unsettling, literary darkness.

About the book
The haunting story of two brothers: one happy, the other tormented by demons
George and Robert are brothers, but their upbringings couldn't have been more different. George was raised by his fun-loving father, while Robert was brought up in the stern Calvinist faith, taught to see Satan lurking around every corner. The siblings were always enemies, and when George is found with a sword buried in his back, Robert is named the culprit, beginning a strange and terrible journey that will take him out of his mind—and into the arms of the devil himself.
This unique novel, first published in 1824, is one of the most remarkable explorations of supernatural evil in Western literature. A gothic masterpiece told from multiple perspectives, its influence can be felt in the works of authors from Robert Louis Stevenson to Stephen King.

Complex characters in a headlong dance with danger and each other make Among the Bones, Book 1 in The Sarah Crockett Mysteries, a search for more than lost children. It’s a search for answers that may be more fatal than the search itself.

About the book
Midsommar meets Fear Street in this modern, sea-soaked folk horror debut about fighting to survive, and fighting to be yourself.
Seventeen-year-old Lindsay Weinberg has just gotten kicked out of another prep school, and has consequently found herself shipped to her Uncle Levi's farm in the cold, isolated town of Marbury, Maine.
When Lindsay arrives at a big, old farmhouse miles from civilization, she is greeted by her uncle’s new wife, a goy with a little too much Jesus decor for Lindsay’s taste—with Uncle Levi mysteriously away on a business trip. Not only that, but Lindsay isn’t the only teen staying there. In fact, there is a small group of teens going through some kind of reform program. Up at dawn. Manual labor all day. No phones, computers or tablets.
Things start to feel hopeless until Lindsay meets the twins, Phin and Cass. They live on an island off the Peninsula’s coast—and they have internet. Lindsay convinces the others at Haven House to sneak out for a party on the island, and the night is incredible. At least…what they can remember of it. All of them wake up in their beds with sea-shell mementos, no memory of how they got home, and wicked hangovers. All of them except one. And as the disappearances and mysteries pile up, Lindsay and the others realize that they have become involved in a terrifying fight to survive, before the Cove claims them all.

Fatally Yours
Horror · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
A lavish small-town wedding turns lethal when a spoiled rich girl starts to realize her family’s polished life runs on blood as much as money.

About the book
You're cordially invited to the wedding massacre of the season…
Life is good for Katie Rose Waters. Her family is filthy rich, and she has it all: a closet full of designer shoes in a mansion fit for a queen, Mother Dear's undivided attention and of course, the comforting knowledge that she can get away with murder any time she wants…literally.
But Katie Rose's perfect world starts to crumble when her estranged sister Kit returns home to their small town with a new engagement ring and a fiancé in tow. With Belldam, Texas's most extravagant wedding on the horizon Mother Dear goes into wedding planner mode, obsessing over wedding dresses, florists, and finding a cake. And Katie Rose? She's been demoted to an afterthought. Unless, of course, Mother Dear needs help with a decapitated body. It's simply devastating.
Left to her own wicked devices, Katie Rose begins to suspect that her picture-perfect life might be as hollow as the corpses she leaves behind. What's a spoiled daughter to do without Mother Dear's guidance? But whatever, everything will be fine as long as the trio can stay calm.
Unfortunately, there's nothing more stressful than a wedding...
This outrageous young adult slasher blends the comedy of Father of the Bride with nonstop kills à la Serial Mom in the most twisted mother-daughter story yet.

A FOLK TALE. A HORROR STORY. A LOVE STORY. AN ENCHANTMENT.
"A dark, gorgeous concoction.”—New York Times
“Beautiful, terrifying . . . . Destined to become a classic."—Washington Post
From an incendiary new talent, a contemporary queer folktale of literary horror about a mother and daughter living in the woods, for fans of Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood, and Julia Armfield.
Margot and Mama have lived by the forest ever since Margot can remember.
When Margot is not at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Strays, Mama calls them. People who have strayed too far from the road. Mama loves the strays. She feeds them wine, keeps them warm. Then she satisfies her burning appetite by picking apart their bodies.
But Mama’s want is stronger than her hunger sometimes, and when a beautiful, white-toothed stray named Eden turns up in the heart of a snowstorm, Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, untangle her own desires, and make her bid for freedom.
With this haunting gothic coming-of-age tale, debut novelist Lucy Rose explores how women swallow their anger, desire, and animal instincts—and wrings the relationship between mother and daughter until blood drips from it.
