Hello October!

Spooky season is my favourite time of the year! As per tradition, I have compiled a list of new and upcoming horror books coming out in autumn. I have previously made lists for anticipated releases and slasher horror for more book recommendations.

Please note this list is not comprehensive and publication dates are subject to change. Mark your calendars and pre-order these books so you don’t miss out!
