Recs if you like Cross My Heart, I Hope You Die...

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.

This includes book that have either mystery or thrillers as a primary or secondary genre. If you have recommendations to add please comment and I'll happily add them 💕

My list of fall reads for 2026; mix of spooky/horror and cozy vibes for fall

A little chill in the air, a whole lot of red flags, and absolutely no reason to trust anyone. These are the thrillers that keep you turning pages, questioning everyone, and saying “ONE MORE CHAPTER” like you don’t have to be up tomorrow.
