13 Midwinter Horror Releases: From Gothic to Modern • February 2026

  • by

 

Returning after a little break, much like the warmer temperatures here: we have thirteen amazing new books to talk about. From nouveau slashers to twists on old gothics, demonic taunts and terrors, and everything in between; this month also has one of the most unexpected colour combinations. There is a book here with a lilac and forest green cast combo. You have heard of teal and orange colour grading? I’d say this is much more interesting.

Patreon bookworms have access to the print version of these Febraury selections, as ever you can find them on https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror too!

I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.
