Dan Coxon’s Come Sing for the Harrowing (2026): Folk Horror Reimagined
Dan Coxon’s Come Sing for the Harrowing, reissued by CLASH Books in April 2026, is eighteen stories of folk horror transported into the texture of contemporary British life. The uncanny shows up in a Cheddar Gorge cave system, a crumbling urban estate, a Brixton supermarket, a medieval tourist attraction that is just a little too authentic. Coxon, a World Fantasy Award-winning editor and twice British Fantasy Award-winning author, brings formal invention and restrained literary prose to a subgenre he clearly loves enough to pick a fight with. The result is the most interesting folk horror collection of 2026. Full review inside.
Backstabbers by Eliza Jabore Review: The Slasher That Bites Back
Eliza Jabore’s debut novel Backstabbers sends three friends, Jade, Stef, and Zoe, into Washington State’s Bones Hollow Trail, the former hunting ground of a serial killer, with nothing but wilderness, each other, and a true crime podcast for company. What begins as a survivalist slasher quickly becomes something more precise: a dark, funny, and quietly devastating study of female friendship under impossible pressure. This is the slasher novel 2026 needed.
Murphy’s Lore by Dan Soule: A Science Fiction Horror Novella That Gets Under Your Skin
Dan Soule’s Murphy’s Lore arrives in 2026 as a standalone republication of a novella originally published in Crystal Lake’s A Graveyard of Stars anthology. It follows Murphy, a nineteen-year-old Black British field medic aboard a maintenance vessel at the edge of Algol space, as her crew retrieves a decades-old coffin from the void — and the alien artifact inside begins to unpick each crew member at the seams. Blue-collar sci-fi horror in the tradition of Alien and Event Horizon, but more interested in grief than gore, Murphy’s Lore is Soule’s most precise and emotionally demanding work to date.
Eat the Light by Andrew Najberg, Review, A Post-Apocalyptic Cosmic Horror Masterwork
Andrew Najberg’s Eat the Light fuses post-apocalyptic survival horror with cosmic dread in a novel that follows two young sisters through a world where light itself has become predatory. Brutal, tender, and built on a sibling bond that gives the darkness something worth devouring, this is literary horror operating at full capacity.
Womb of Shadows: Peter Neal’s Biological Horror Debut
Peter Neal’s debut Womb of Shadows — Book One of the Gods of the New Age trilogy — is biological horror at its most intimate and most devastating. Dr. Evelyn Hart injects her infant daughter with an unauthorised gene therapy and sets in motion a chain of events connecting a Virginia family to a classified military programme and a boy whose skin produces a compound that rewrites human attachment from the inside. Literary in its prose, ferocious in its moral questions, and unlike anything else in contemporary horror, Womb of Shadows is a book that gets under your skin and repurposes you from within.
Kentucky Dragon by Michael Park: A Folk Horror Review
Kentucky Dragon by Michael Park is folk horror at its sharpest. A demonic debt, a Nazi inheritance, and a coal fire burning for three centuries converge in this intelligent, violent novel about intergenerational trauma and the moment the bill comes due. The chicken man will haunt your imagination long after the final page.
The Forbidden Lands Review: Mattia De Pascali’s Italian Folk Horror
Mattia De Pascali’s The Forbidden Lands is a handmade Italian folk horror fable that understands folklore is not quaint decoration but a system people live and die by. Shot in the Salento and channelling Lucio Fulci’s moral fury, this dark fantasy follows three women who refuse their assigned roles. Now streaming on Prime Video after a festival run spanning three continents.
Cruising by Dean Cade, Review: The Summer of 1973 Never Felt so Terrifying
Dean Cade’s debut horror novel Cruising sets a closeted gay teenager’s summer against the real historical backdrop of the Houston Mass Murders, the worst serial murder case in American history. Published by Slashic Horror Press in March 2026, the first book in the Summer 1973 trilogy earns its horror through patience, historical precision, and a portrait of queer vulnerability in 1973 Texas that is both formally controlled and genuinely devastating. Read the full review at Ginger Nuts of Horror.
Philip Fracassi’s Gothic: The Horror of Wanting Too Much
Philip Fracassi’s Gothic follows Tyson Parks, a struggling horror novelist who receives an antique desk that channels an ancient evil through his creative desperation. In our full review at Ginger Nuts of Horror, we examine why this cursed-object novel is one of the sharpest entries in the writer-descending-into-madness subgenre in years, and why Fracassi’s multi-POV structure and pulp-literary sensibility make it something considerably more unsettling than nostalgia.
Eliza Jabore on Backstabbers: Weaponising Slasher Tropes & Dismantling Friendship in Her Exceptional Debut
Eliza Jabore’s debut Backstabbers reimagines the slasher as a pressure test for female friendship — our interview explores what makes this 2026 release a genuinely subversive entry in horror fiction.
Out Law by Jim Butcher Review: Harry Dresden’s Best Side Quest Yet
Out Law is vintage Dresden in a smaller package. Harry owes Marcone a debt, and the repayment involves helping a former criminal go straight. The IRS gets involved. An Aztec demon gets involved. Harry’s patience gets tested. The novella’s real magic is the moral friction: redemption is hard, awkward, and maybe impossible. But Butcher makes you root for it anyway. Lean prose, sharp action, genuine heart. The best Dresden novella yet.
