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

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗

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.

Books with weird, strange, absurd, or just hilarious titles Please comment your own suggestions
