Would you rather look at these lists broken down by month? Right this way. Looking for previous years’ lists? 2023 is here, and earlier years are at the Nightfire site: 2020, 2021, 2022. I’ll be discussing some of my most anticipated 2024 releases on the ARC Party podcast in early January – keep an eye out! Alongside traditional horror, here you’ll find all things gothic, dark, weird, and thrilling–and, hopefully, your next favorite scary book. I like my horror inclusive, not exclusive–I take a broad view of what counts as horror fiction. It gives me an incredible birds’ eye view of the landscape of horror publishing, and I’m delighted it’s proven useful to so many of you as well. I really enjoy building and maintaining this list every year.
Welcome back, kind readers and weird little freaks! Once again I’m obsessively cataloguing all the year’s new horror fiction, for my benefit and yours.
