Horror and scifi books, comics, movies.
The Hive is The Shining meets Needfull Things meets Tommy Knockers meets Doctor Sleep
The Blacktongue Thief is great grimdark fantasy
Fever House is Reservoir Dogs but make it zombi horror
The Shining is a classic
Splasher is a slasher in a swimming pool
Annihilation is weird, eco horror and so good

2 solid novels in one book. The first one is a sequel to the 4th Alien movie the other one is another story wherein humans are actually the biggest monsters. From @titanbooks.bsky.social

Love this series of classic Japanese murder mysteries involving impossible locked room murders while also giving social commentary on pre and post WW2 Japanese culture, tradition and class system.

Entertaining 80's B creature feature about a killer cicada, a bitchy final girl and her asshole boyfriend. This book from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social and @tanyapell.bsky.social had me laughing out loud while it also has some gore. Recommended!

Sci fi horror about a teenage scientist, deaging, 5 elders on the brink of death, jellyfish and a mutating wolf. Such a good story. Nick Cutter wrote a book that reminded me of Crichtons Jurassic Park combined with later era Stephen King.

A dark and grim roadtrip through a plague and war torn medievel France where devils and demons roam and god is absent. This one is as good as its cover.

By far the most unhinged novel I've read this year but written by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social so it's still a very entertaining, fast read.

Is it possible to really do scare jumps in a book? @joshmalerman.bsky.social sure knows how. This book and its evil haunts more than the characters. What a creepy, original book.

Well if you are looking for a mystery involving a demon, a very dysfunctional family and a maid then this is the book for you. Light on the scary parts but great on keeping the reader guessing what's next.

80's creature feature homage that reads like you are on a rollercoaster. This is a book that you want to read in one go. Full on action from start to finish. By @alexebenstein.bsky.social @shortwavebooks.bsky.social

Psychological horror partly based on a true story about an outsider artist. This book is unique in how it's told, has some creepy parts and definitely solidifies @claymcleod.bsky.social as one of the best horror writers around. @titanbooks.bsky.social

Another very good book by indie horror author @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social. If you like 90's grunge music and or hearfelt father daughter dynamics and or creepy monsters hiding in the woods then this is one book you should read.

Without a doubt 1 of the best books I've read so far this year. Coming of age meets atrocities of war meets supernatural horror. I didn't expect @pfracassi.bsky.social to write a book I would like better than Boys In The Valley. But Sarafina exceeded all my expectations. @blackcrowbooks.bsky.social

Don't ever go tresppasing with your kayak into a place with the criepiest little monsters and their devouring god. Adam Nevill wrote a very real and scary folk horror book.

Now this is one scary story. Very cinematic in how it's written and a real pageturner. It reminded me a bit of From. Another great one by Kliewer.

IT meets The Abyss. A mix of supernatural and more close to home horror. Pretty unhinged at times. A scary, claustrophobic book.

600+ pages in the Alien universe with one story taking place in NYC and involving a mad musician and the other story being your 'normal' team of marines on a bug killing mission gone wrong. Again a good one from @titanbooks.bsky.social

Wards' most accessible novel so far is still a dark, powerfull book. Bits reminded me of Yellowjackets and as always with @catrionaward.bsky.social she manages to surprise the reader with her storytelling.

This is not a day to day journal about 2026 but it is an action packed horror about a big group of influencers on a remote island than once was the island of a cannibalistic cult.

Also liked @chucktingle.bsky.social s queer autistic demon and priests slayer. Loved the inclusion of a deathcore grunting queer former camp counsellor.
