The Goodreads Preview of Fall 2025'S New Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror Books

From Goodreads: Bouncing off our collection of Readers' Most Anticipated Fall Books, we're taking a peek into the very near future to spotlight upcoming books in speculative fiction—sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and the many spaces in between. This guide is a curated selection of highly anticipated titles and advance reader picks, plus some notable debuts and other selections from the stacks. Each of the titles collected below is slated to publish from the end of August through the end of December.

Returning readers will note plenty of series continuations and conclusions this fall, with new installments including James Islington's The Strength of the Few (the Hierarchy series); Holly Black's Thief of Night (The Charlatan Duology); and Cadwell Turnbull's A Ruin, Great and Free (the Convergence Saga).
