Victor Manibo recommends
Portrait of a Haunting (2026)
Madison Tyler Nelson
"Much like its real and figurative ghosts, Portrait of a Haunting is an eerie tale that glides seamlessly between worlds, combining the puzzle-box thrills of a murder mystery with the gripping dread of a modern gothic. With an unforgettable ensemble and an earnest heroine at its heart, Nelson delivers a ghost story about loss, self-acceptance, and the complexity of family - both the ones we are born into and the ones we find for ourselves."
Muneca (2026)
Cynthia Gómez
"A deliciously dark Gothic debut that goes deeper than the aesthetic, Muneca is a feat of sorcery in and of itself - a taut, dread-filled tale constantly skirting the edges of desire and doom, one that kept me spellbound until the bloody, satisfying end."
The Iron Garden Sutra (2026)
(Cosmic Wheel, book 1)
A D Sui
"Meditative and philosophical, with a compelling mystery at its dark heart, The Iron Garden Sutra deftly delivers on multiple fronts: immersive cultural worldbuilding, creeping dread seen only in the best sci-fi horror, and an interrogation of the nature of intelligence, life, and humanity's place in the universe, all building to a smart, satisfying finish."
