Nick Medina recommends

There Used to Be People Here (2026)
Kennedy Cole
"At once a small-town mystery steeped in terrors both uncanny and distressingly human, and an exploration into otherness in the American south, Kennedy Cole's powerful debut is as provocative as it is haunting, as touching as it is terrifying. There Used to Be People Here is an unforgettable novel of horror and history."

What a Nightmare (2026)
Rebekah Faubion
"Haven Powers can run but she can't escape her past, her powerful family, and the extraordinary ability that allows her to see others' secrets and pain. Original and mysterious, this gripping tale of one woman's revenge delivers a lesson learned and a lesson that shouldn't be ignored."

The Siren of Groves Peak (2026)
Glenn Rolfe
"Horror hits like a hurricane in this creature-feature masterfully layered with terror, dread, and scares so jarring they just might leave you seasick without ever leaving land."

Molka (2026)
Monika Kim
"With razor-sharp effectiveness, Monika Kim rouses the rage of being driven to madness by someone who then blames you for being mad, the heartache of learning that the person you love doesn't even like you, and the dehumanization felt by women reduced to objects by men who ruthlessly collect and consume. A story of betrayal and ghosts, Molka is a masterful work of horror that's sure to be ranked as one of the year's best."

House of Monstrous Women (2025)
Daphne Fama
"Imagine being invited to an old friend's house. Then imagine that you might not leave alive. Those are the stakes upon entering Daphne Fama's House of Monstrous Women, a pulse-pounding tale of family trauma, frayed friendship, and political oppression. Forget warm and welcoming rooms. In this house, expect tension thicker than the rugs, dread that practically flows from the taps, and a bed chilled by your own cold sweat."

13 Months Haunted (2025)
Jimmy Juliano
"An eerie and unnerving tale about unspeakable evil in your inbox, Jimmy Juliano's 13 Months Haunted pulls off an impressive feat--it makes you afraid to do something you've been comfortably doing for years. Important emails will be deleted because of this book. But hey, it's better to be safe than sorry, right?"

Listen to Your Sister (2025)
Neena Viel
"Gripping and powerful, this is horror at its finest."

Mask of the Deer Woman (2025)
Laurie L Dove
"Spotlighting the real life crisis of Native women and girls who are abducted and murdered at an astonishing rate, Laurie L. Dove presents a vital story of danger, corruption, and a fraying thread of hope in Indian Country. Full of mystery, suspense, and an enthralling dose of Native mythology, Mask of the Deer Woman is both a propulsive thriller and a much-needed call to action."

Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart (2024)
GennaRose Nethercott
"By blending humor, horror, and the fantastical with history and the here and now, GennaRose Nethercott's Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart induces feelings of love, loneliness, wonderment, fury, and fear. Pure fuel for the imagination, the magic on these pages offers comfort from stories that aren't always comfortable but which are full of truths and so much beauty."

The Berry Pickers (2023)
Amanda Peters
"One family's secret is the source of another family's pain in this poignant debut that reads like a modern literary classic. Moving, heartbreaking, and hopeful, The Berry Pickers is a powerful tale of haunting regret, bonds that will never be broken, and unrelenting love. Amanda Peters's skilled storytelling evokes all the sensations of summer in Maine, singing around a fire, and the horror that takes hold when a child goes missing."

The Revenge List (2023)
Hannah Mary McKinnon
"The Revenge List is a thriller so cleverly crafted that you might as well stop guessing and enjoy the twists and turns instead."
