60 New Horror Books To Read In 2024
Hello, 2024!
I had a fun reading year in 2023 where I read some amazing horror books. I’m excited that 2024 looks like another fantastic year for horror! So I’ve compiled a list of horror books I’m looking forward to reading this year. To keep it simple, I chose books with official covers and publication dates (please note these dates are subject to change). This list is up until May releases as I will compile separate lists for summer and autumn.
Mark your calendars and pre-order these books so you don’t miss out!
