Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly themed post first created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010 and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s theme is a Halloween Freebie, so I thought there was no better time to share 10 horror books releasing in 2026 that are on my radar! I likely won’t read all of these, but they’ve definitely grabbed my attention.





- The Wind Witch Murders by Casey Dunn – January 6, 2026
- I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200 by Robert Brockway – January 27, 2026
- Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher – March 24, 2026
- The Summer Fun Massacre by Craig DiLouie – June 16, 2026
- The Sea Hides Its Dead by Megan Bontrager – July 14, 2026





- The Truth of Carcosa by Jacob Rollinson – January 13, 2026
- Dollface by Lindy Ryan – February 24, 2026
- Honeysuckle by Bar Fridman-Tell – April 2, 2026
- Headlights by C.J. Leede – June 9, 2026

I’ve seen a few of these already that I’m also excited for but haven’t seen “The Summer Fun Massacre” and definitely have to add it to my TBR! Great picks!
