Lydia is a horror author and avid reader, dedicated to exploring the darkest corners of the genre. As a curator of the HWA new releases page, she tracks and shares the best new horror books each month.
In today’s video you will find 13 horror books coming out this month, and a bonus book! I could not resist mentioning the novelization of Terrifier 3. Not only do we get to hang out with Art the Clown, it is seasonal too!
Here we are with a small stack of wintery reads. Not all are for Christmas, and while I fell behind due to having a wicked illness… this all fits into reading Victorian fiction for January!
There are 14 books that caught my eye – lucky 13 plus one more from November. I added in two thrillers and you’ll also find quite a few story collections here.
Today on Lydia’s Books I’m sharing a stack of nonfiction books that dive into true crime, Hollywood scandals, punk history, and dark philosophy. These real stories are unsettling, harrowing, and perfect for Nonfiction November. If you enjoy deep dives into strange corners of history, this lineup should keep you thoroughly fascinated, and maybe wide awake at night…

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.

Moving from spooks to snow is never easy, but moving from a list of 31 books to 13 is a treat. Here are some of the top horror books coming this month that caught my eye.
I made it to the October edition of the local library sale, and it did not disappoint. I’d been looking to buy a new copy of Hater by David Moody for some time, so was really pleased to find it, and then some!
It had been a while since I streamed – however – I do play nearly every Saturday morning so I figured I’d grab the headset and chill.
This October I have a short reading list – and it is made of fun-size little treats. Maybe there will be a trick too, as I may read more than expected. Witches, goblins, sprites and ghouls rise up in my little reading list; dare I say, the perfect reading list for Halloween season.
There are 35 books on my to-watch list for October. That is more than one a day and doesn’t even count all the HWA releases this month, the great books that are young adult or thriller, or some niche gothics that I couldn’t classify as horror entirely.
Edward Lee has been a huge inspiration to me as a writer and reader of horror. From the first time my mother and I stumbled upon the City Infernal series, or that time I special ordered ‘Goon’ while feeling homesick at college…
This is the second annual DreadCon; and I am happy to support this since there is nothing like it near me. I wish there were more horror conventions in Canada!
A new edition for 2025 includes a preface from the author. Learn more about the origins and sequel of this daring horror novel.
