Keith Rosson recommends

The Calamities (2026)
(Fiends, book 1)
Chuck Wendig
"The Calamities is a twisting, winding river of darkness - part ink-black Gothic tale, part brutal family saga, and housed in a demonic nesting doll of a dark fantasy novel. Taken as a whole, it reminds me yet again of Wendig's wildly lethal range and versatility when it comes to horror. The guy is, simply put, unstoppable."

Secret Lives of the Dead (2025)
Tim Lebbon
"A propulsive, imaginative, page-turning heist-to-horror novel in which no one is safe. I absolutely burned through this book."

When the Wolf Comes Home (2025)
Nat Cassidy
"When the Wolf Comes Home is a wildly inventive horror novel, and a ripping, bloody page-turner. But that's not all it is-in its beating heart there's a fierce, moving treatise about love, parenthood, and notions of familial indebtedness. I loved it."
