Ginger Nuts of Horror has been reviewing horror books for 18 years. Here you will find reviews of new horror novels, novellas and short story collections, from small indie presses to the big imprints, across folk horror, gothic, cosmic, psychological horror and everything in between. Every review is free, independent and honest.
Dan Coxon and Philip Fracassi’s Unearthed sends nineteen writers into tombs, temples and stone circles, and the best of them find that the dig is the scary part. Slatter, Castro and Jiang lead a Titan Books anthology about who owns the past, held back from full marks by one story that needed a content note.
Mathilda Zeller expands her Never Whistle at Night story into a five-star Indigenous horror novel about the kushtuka, a creature that wears the faces of the people you love. Set in an Inupiat village as a mine moves in and the winter dark closes, this is Alaskan folk horror with real anger in its bones.
