Just wanted to let you know, an idle Google search for “horror books upcoming” led me to your site. It’s now bookmarked and I can see a lot of exploring is in my future ๐. Thanks for what looks to be a valuable resource in my quest for great horror novels.

Sensational list. I don’t know where to start. Maybe with all of them. The only trouble is writing commitments keep me from doing as much reading as I would like. Some how, some way I’ll have to find the time.
