Milan Polk writes: "Horror isn't just a genre to read if you want to be scared. In its own way, it's a comfort. As we embark on a new year filled with all kinds of uncertainty (whether you'll actually commit to those New Year's resolutions, for example), there's something reassuring in reading about terrifying stakes, both supernatural and real, and how each book's narrators find a sense of hope despite everything going wrong. Plus, a good scare can take your mind off of other things. Maybe you're worried about getting in shape in time for that next marathon… but that can't be any worse than dealing with demonic possession, right?
"Whether you're a newer reader to horror, or a longtime fan, we have an entry on the list that'll keep you reading way past your bedtime to see what bone-chilling thrills happen next."
