Recs if you like The Bone Door...

A genre-inclusive and diverse list of horror releases coming in 2026. If I missed any or you have suggestions, please let me know. I will update periodically as new books are announced and release dates are solidified.

Source for a lot of the data for this list came from readjumpscares.com, which is a website you should absolutely check out. I’m sure data will come from other places along the way, as well.

Just a list of books coming out in 2026 that I’m really excited for :) it will be updated as the months go by! It will be a mix of: high fantasy, romance fantasy, sci-fi, gothic, horror, lit fic, historical fiction, retellings, poetry, romance, & more!!

This is an achillean horror books lists.. i make this because i want more gays. This list is inspired by the list made by @Thehobbit ( Yes. I definitely did not read like 99% of these books so. Y'all can like.. recs me some.. please ) + This is also a reminder i should read horror more, because why not, and they're fun and and — I hope yall have fun with this list, please educate me if i picked non achillean books as I've stated i have not read most of these, i will be updating over time.

A mixture of genres and age levels, but each book has a level of feeling like an escape room

Books with a rabbit on the cover, of course. Or a hare.

Books featuring labyrinths and mazes.

Books that I wish more people would read!

Books with rabbits on the cover (and hares for those who care to distinguish!) for my investigation as to what genre bunnies usually represent

I do note that 70% is horror, but I am biased in my reading so that doesn't mean anything yet.

Recommendations are welcome, just keep in mind I'm trying to avoid children and middle grade books and I'm very hesitant to include YA books- but please feel free to convince me.
