Horror novellas under 200 pgs. Bite size scary reads for spooky season. These span the horror spectrum from psychological horror to gory, body horror to gothic ghosties and more. Let me know what else I should add!

Horror books with a page count of 200 pages or less.

Before we started defining novellas by word count, they were defined as being any book less than 200 pages. Source: my Analysis of Short Stories & Literature professor in community college. I loved that class. But he loved James Joyce. So, ymmv, I guess.

I love novellas and short stories, I feel like it really gives authors a place to flex their talents on just how much they can reveal of a character or world in minimal page space. These are some I feel really pack a punch. They are weird, unique, and can be read in a day.

Books with bizarre concepts

Books that are very creepypasta-esque or started out as a creepypasta story

Books that remind me of Mulder and Scully and their wild x-file hunting days. Suggestions welcome. I’m forever chasing that high.

these horror books are safe for tenderhearted cat lovers— they either feature no cats to worry about, cats that remain safe throughout the entirety of the story, or cats who even though endangered (and possibly even hurt), are confirmed to survive and make it to the end of the book with at least one of their nine lives in tact! 😸

this list is cat-specific! there is no guaranteed safety of any other animals in these books. recommendations 100% welcome!
