This Year in Horror || 2024

Welcome to 2024 horror friends! It's time again to dust off your TBR. Here are some of the year's upcoming releases from all your favorite authors and new authors for you to discover. I love compiling this year every year even though it truly is a labor of love. It lets me plan out my reading for the year and I hope it's helpful for you as well!

This list contains mostly horror but you also might find some dark fantasy, fairytale-inspired, young adult, and middle-grade reads. 

Looking for previous years' list? You can find 2023 here, as well as 2022, and 2021.

Looking for a specific book or author? Use Ctrl-F to search through this page. 

Note: Publishing dates can change! I'll update dates and add new books as I see them throughout the year, but if I miss something, let me know! Many have yet to set a publishing date so I've added those to the bottom under TBR. 

If you have a book releasing this year and want to get on the list, click here and I'll get you added!
