Recs if you like Dead Weight...

it may be months away from halloween but it’s never too early to show love and support for the often over-stigmatized black cat! these books, as you might have guessed, all include at least one black cat or are about black cats :)

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 that when translated into english got their title changed to something completely different. Cuz it happens A LOT and sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse, sometimes it's just really funny hehehe 🤭. Any and all recommandations from any language welcomed. Please give me all the recs !!

100 short books for when you need to break a reading slump or reach a reading goal.
