Recs if you like Humboldt Cut...

was curious, so did some research and found loads and loads!!! happy reading, folks!

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.

lit fic and horror, mainly, and mostly books by women, nonbinary & trans writers, basically mostly non-cis-men

"Weird girl literature" with different flavours of horror elements

💜 yarnandbooks

Not all of these books will have cannibalism... but there is a non-zero chance at least 1% will.
