"Two full decades past the new millennium, time has gotten…well, wonky. Maybe it's the pandemic stress causing us to lose track of time, but a lot of Millennials and Gen Xers are coming to terms with the fact that major events like 9/11 and the Y2K scare happened more than 20 years ago. If the 2010s have become a blur, allow me to refresh your memory of the best horror books of the decade.
Popular though it may be, horror isn't a huge genre. Fans who go looking for reading recommendations may find themselves inundated with calls to read Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, Michael McDowell's The Elementals, or Joan Samson's The Auctioneer. Don't get me wrong; those books are fantastic. But if we spend too much time focusing on horror books from 20 years ago or more, we miss out on all the great works that have come out since.
So let's take a look at the best horror novels of the last decade. They're bestsellers and fan favorites, trendsetters and movie-makers."
