Best Horror of 2024

LJ Talks with M.M. Olivas, Author of ‘Sundown in San Ojuela’

The Queen

Cutter (The Troop; Little Heaven) is at the top of his game here, providing an intensely visceral and gripping tale.

Curdle Creek

Clearly inspired by Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” with a nod as well toward Kindred by Octavia Butler, this is a compelling and immersive story.

At Dark, I Become Loathsome

LaRocca gives readers an unforgettable protagonist, a complicated man who will repulse them at first but will ultimately steal their hearts. Suggest to those who like the extreme horror of Paula D. Ashe or the work of Kathe Koja; it’s also a good pick for those looking for intense horror, as seen in What Kind of Mother by Clay McLeod Chapman.

All Your Friends Are Here

Shaw’s striking stories will connect with a wide range of readers, especially those who like to be simultaneously entertained and asked to think about what they just read, much like in the short fiction of Philip Fracassi and Cassandra Khaw or the novels of Jeremy Robert Johnson.
