The God at the Bottom of the Ledger: Jonathan Wood on Washed Up on Dark Shores
Jonathan Wood discusses his novella Washed Up on Dark Shores, the horror of extreme wealth, and why naming the monster is the first step to fighting it.
Josh Malerman’s Pictures of You Review: The Bird Box Author Turns You Into the Painting
Josh Malerman traps a woman inside an artist’s empty frame in Pictures of You, a Hitchcockian captivity thriller from the Bird Box author. A superb, unnerving concept, held back only by a structure that keeps letting the pressure out. Del Rey, September 2026.
Buffet Infinity: Simon Glassman’s Canadian Sci-Fi Horror Comedy
Simon Glassman’s Buffet Infinity is a mind-jangling Canadian sci-fi horror comedy that builds its narrative entirely from regional TV ads. It’s clever, bananas and perhaps brilliant, with a style that sustains itself for ninety-three minutes of simulated channel surfing and cosmic capitalistic catastrophe.
Bury the Devil: Atmospheric Chills and Uneven Mythology
Hope Madden reviews Adam O’Brien’s Bury the Devil. A haunted house horror with a great atmosphere and strong central performances. The incomplete mythology holds it back from being truly memorable.
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma review: Schoenbrun delivers slasher nerd nirvana
Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is the nerdiest horror film ever made. With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and more slasher trivia than you can shake a split diopter at, this queer horror masterpiece is bloody, beautiful, and utterly compelling.

Lullabies for the Lost by Mia Dalia, Review
Mia Dalia’s Lullabies for the Lost brings musical horror to the Black Shuck Shadows list, with four short bursts leading into the novella Discordant. The shorts remix familiar devil child and cosmic horror ideas, while the novella channels Don DeLillo by way of Faust. A fun horror short story collection, though the novella is already sold on its own.
American Nightmare by Kelly McWilliams: Historical Horror of 1919 and the NAACP Spy Who Passed for White
Kelly McWilliams makes her adult debut with a historical horror novel about a white-passing NAACP spy investigating lynchings during the Red Summer of 1919. Our five-star review looks at how American Nightmare refuses catharsis, and why that refusal makes it the strongest Black horror fiction of the year. Out from Crown on 15 September 2026.
Final Girls Ranked by How Long They’d Last in a Wetherspoons Car Park at 2am
A comic ranking of horror’s greatest final girls by how long each would survive a Wetherspoons car park at 2am. From Sally Hardesty to Laurie Strode, Sidney Prescott, Ellen Ripley, and champion Erin Harson, we test the slasher survivors against British closing time.
Feed Review: Marco van Belle’s, Dearg Due Vampire Never Quite Bites
Marco van Belle’s Feed finally puts the Dearg Due, Ireland’s first vampire, on screen in a handsome indie horror. Grace Collender and Charlotte Bradley bring real texture, yet the film keeps slipping into familiar cabin territory instead of its own mythology. Our full review weighs a fresh premise against safe execution.

Lionhearts by Dan Howarth Review: Horror With an Axe to Grind
Dan Howarth follows Last Night of Freedom with Lionhearts, a political horror novel about grief curdling into hate somewhere Northern and thoroughly let down. Our Lionhearts book review looks at Henry Oswald, the staccato prose, and an ending that turns a depressed landscape florid, charged and brutal. Bring paracetamol.
Hellcat Film Review: Brock Bodell Traps You in an Airstream
Brock Bodell’s Hellcat straps Dakota Gorman into a moving Airstream and lets Todd Terry talk at her for 91 minutes. Hope Madden reviews a single location horror thriller that mines its premise well before the third act gets contrived. Lean, mean and effective, hokey practical FX and all.
Blacktail by Scott Hawkins Review: A Wolf, a Sleeping God and the End of Human Exceptionalism
Scott Hawkins ends an eleven year wait with Blacktail, a folk horror revenge novel told entirely by animals, in which a grieving half-breed wolf sets out to wake a sleeping Forest God and finish off the human race. Our review looks at the language of the Hunt, the squirrel death cult of Car, and why this eco-horror odyssey earns every one of its five stars.
