40 New Horror Books to Read For Summer 2023

It’s time for a scary summer!

I have previously compiled new horror releases during autumn and at the beginning of the year. This year I thought I’d expand to summer because let’s face it, many of us read horror all year long!

Please note this list is not comprehensive and publication dates are subject to change. It makes me happy to see that horror is thriving! Mark your calendars and pre-order these books so you don’t miss out.

Check out the books below and let me know which ones you’re looking forward to read!
