The Best Horror of 2025 (So Far)

Barnes and Noble selected the ten best horror books of 2025 as of June 2. Josh Sippie writes: "Great news — it's about to get spooky up in here. In addition to spooky, it's also going to get terrifying, eerie, haunting, atmospheric, dark and straight-up creepy, because this year has blessed us with all the spine-tingling feels that horror is so beloved for. From magic and wizardry to vampires and monsters, each one of these titles is a bloody good time that will keep you up well into the night. Both because you're enjoying it so much and because, well, it's just that scary. Here are our favorite horror books of the year (so far)."
