Best new horror books • 19 reads for July 2025!

So many great horror books are coming this July. It was as if there was a dam that broke somewhere – and this is not even all of them! As you know, I love to bring us the books that speak to me as top horror of the month, with an eye for those with cool covers. Have you read any of these already? If you plan on picking up one or two as I do, let me know in the comments!

This month, there seems to be a trend for both silhouettes on covers, as well as dark academia – but for adults. Are you a fan of that sub-genre? I think I am… or am going to be!
