Here are 40 new horror books for September! Two of these I am reading this month, and even more I want to pick up. Too many great horror books are coming out this month; in preparation for autumn and spooky season I am sure. Once again, the list is sprawling – I shorten the list but there were just so many amazing authors putting work out right now.
Also, a sneak peek of the new cover art for my vampire novel, Nightface. The sequel is coming soon!
If you have read some of these or have them on your list, let me know,

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.
✮ Thank you! ✮
