Skin
While not as well-known as Koja’s The Cipher, this title’s return to print will be welcomed at libraries looking to fulfill the high demand for extreme horror that spotlights depravity in order to reveal human truths, such as in the works of LaRocca, Alison Rumfitt, and CJ Leede.
PREMIUM
Listen to Your Sister
For fans of character-centered, emotional, and thought-provoking horror, such as Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman and A Light Most Hateful by Hailey Piper. Viel’s novel also has some serious Dark Matter by Blake Crouch vibes that will draw in a wider pool of readers.

Dead Writers: Stories
This deeply unsettling and insidious psychological horror collection evokes feelings that will linger with readers, similar to Ananda Lima’s Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil or the work of Samanta Schweblin.
A stellar collection for fans of horror that creates connected mythos centered around the horror of a place (see the work of Josh Malerman), as well as for readers who appreciate illicitly alluring, biting short stories that smack them over the head, of the kind written by Sarah Read and Cassandra Khaw.

Old Soul
Barker’s (The Incarnations) novel offers both sinister ancient evil, such as in Devils Kill Devils by Johnny Compton, and an emotionally resonant, supernatural thriller asking readers to grapple with mortality, akin to Forgotten Sisters by Cynthia Pelayo.
Cassidy’s original and thought-provoking take on the werewolf trope will appeal to fans of fast-paced horror featuring strong characterization, such as classic Dean Koontz, the books documented in Grady Hendrix’s Paperbacks from Hell, and anything by Brian Keene.
PREMIUM
Their Monstrous Hearts
A solid debut to offer enthusiastically to fans of horror framed by dangerous family secrets, such as Midnight Rooms by Donyae Coles, Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Now You’re One of Us by Asa Nonami.
This novella has even wider appeal than Bazterrica’s successful debut, Tender Is the Flesh, and it is even more immersive and disquieting, as the apocalyptic climate it describes hits closer to home. Suggest to fans of works as varied as Matrix by Lauren Groff, Pink Slime by Fernanda Trías, and anything by Gwendolyn Kiste.
