2026 Horror Releases
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. Iโm sure data will come from other places along the way, as well.

You can view the original list here: (link) /// As a nonbinary person, I take as broad a view as possible of the "girl" in "weird girl*", hence the asterisk.
Wide open for recommendations!
