Thankfully, there are an overwhelming number of horror novels coming out in the summer season (June 21 – September 22). So many, in fact, that I had trouble narrowing it down for this list. There are way more than 18 horror novels coming out this season, so if you blow through this list and are still thirsty for more, never fear — or do. You’re reading horror, after all. These 18 horror novels include some of my most anticipated novels not only of the season, but of the entire year. We’ve got new ones from some of my favorite authors in adult horror fiction — authors such as Paul Tremblay and Clay McLeod Chapman. We also have some exciting YA horror from two of my personal must-read young adult authors — Tiffany D. Jackson and Lamar Giles. There are some favorite authors on this list delving into the horror genre for the first time. And of course, we also have some debut authors coming out with some truly amazing new terrors. Basically, if you love horror, it’s going to be a great summer. Let’s get to reading! I hope these horror books help you stay cool this summer! Looking for more horror recommendations?
