30 Recent Hits of Young Adult Horror to Read This Spooky Season

"The kids are not all right! In young adult fiction, that is. The past few years have brought with them a serious spike in scary YA stories. So if your interests lie at the center of the overlap between the horror genre and YA fiction, we're here to help you find your next riveting read!
We peeked—through our fingers—at the young adult horror books published since 2020 that earned average ratings of 3.5 stars and above from your fellow readers. Ranging from supremely dark supernatural tales to horrific hauntings to the occasional funny fright (who knew zombies were so hilarious?!), these tales offer terror levels from "scaredy-cats welcome" to "oops, I guess I'll just never sleep again!"
