2026 Horror Releases
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.
Asian Authors
An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.
Absurdist fiction for the end of the world.
Because if I don’t laugh I’ll cry. The more absurd the better, and suggestions welcome.

Books to Read to Feel Well Adjusted
It’s always nice to feel like a normal person by reading about those more unhinged than you 😌 These are all women focused books. Some I’ve read and some I’m going to read. Apologies in advance if it gets long. Recommendations are absolutely welcome!! So please feel free.
I know a couple are written by men which might be taboo for some but I’ve included because I thought they were appropriate or the author has a track record of writing women well.
War The Roses / Tudor Era
Both Fiction and Non-fiction books around War Of The Roses and Tudor era.
Feel free to comment additional books! I'm just adding books as I find them.
The Audacious Book Club
A place to see all books included in The Audacious Book Club run by Roxane Gay.
I’m not affiliated at all. I just enjoy these recommendations and wanted one place to see them all here on Pagebound.
Check out audacity.substack.com for more info! They do book discussions for the current month.
Delightfully Different and Wonderfully Weird
Books that challenge reality in all the best ways! From SciFi and speculative fiction to horror and literature these books are true escapism. Most I have read and loved some I’m most definitely going to read. I’m sure not all will be for everyone and that’s ok! Just wanted to share a little weirdness 🤓
