The 25 Best Horror Books of 2023

"So what has the year in horror in 2023 looked like so far? We've gotten a lot of new favorite books from some of our go-to horror authors. We've also gotten a lot of debuts and new authors to get excited about. It's no surprise that haunted houses have been really big this year — after all, haunted houses are, in my opinion, just perpetually scary. Witches have also continued to be big in 2023. We've also gotten a few really great horror short story collections this year.
In no particular order, here are the best horror books that have helped to define the year in horror."
