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.

Collection of slasher books!

Some will involve the supernatural, some are from the POV of survivors and others from the killer

Slasher - a subgenre of horror involving a killer or a group of killers stalking and murdering a group of people, often by use of bladed or sharp tools.

This is a big list of (almost) all slasher books (only first books in a series). As long as there is a killer(s), victims and blood, it counts!

A mix of the horrors of parenthood AND parents (particularly mothers) doing absolutely everything to protect their kids.

The only qualification is that a woman commits murder. Is she likeable? That's not important. Is she innocent? Also not important. Does anyone listen when she warns them? Of course not. Alas, they never learn.
