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.

Great list - we're in for a good year I think! I also know of two other releases: there's a cool debut called Home Sick by Rhiannon Grist that I'm excited to check out, and the author of The Divine Flesh, Drew Huff, is releasing an amazing sounding book called The Exodontists for Halloween!
Oh! And there's one called The Sea Hides It's Dead by Megan Bontrager that sounds AMAZING.
Thank you! I will add them, unless they don’t have Goodreads links yet. If you don’t see them on this list by the end of the year but notice they have Goodreads links, go ahead and give me a poke.
NM, I found all three and they’ve been added!
I had to stop at the end of February last night because I got tired. I’ll be adding more today.
Love this list so much! Had a few on my TBR already and found so many more to look out for, thanks!
You’re welcome! I’m always adding to it. I keep finding new sources of data for it.
I love that! I’ll definitely keep checking!
Love this list AHH and can I recommend some? (I do have more haha but just giving a few here that I see missing and apologies if they have been included, I've looked through but couldnt spot them):
- Indigent Briana N Cox
- That Which feeds Us by Keala Kendall
- What feeds below by Tatiana Schlote-Bonne
- The Lustrous Dark by Loretta Chefchaouni
- Where No Shadow Stays by Sara Hesham
- This is not a test by Courtney Summers
- Our Cut of Salt by Deena Helm
I’ll add them as soon as I’m more awake. Need more coffee.
Of course! Thank you, what a great list 🤎
I think I got them all. Let me know if I got anything wrong!
