Recs if you like The Unheld...

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.

Horror books to read just for the aesthetic

Everything under the high sun, from monsters and mayhem to hauntings and sorrow set across the hot, dry plains of the West. This collection spans from pure horror to the horror-adjacent found in both new printings and older classics.
