Saratoga Schaefer recommends

What a Nightmare (2026)
Rebekah Faubion
"A modern small town horror that gazes deep into the rot of toxic families and abusive relationships, What a Nightmare is a sharp and bloody exploration of trauma. Faubion's prose is perfectly tight and vivid - you can see, smell, and hear everything. This is one nightmare you won't want to wake up from."

The Need (2026)
Megan Mostyn Brown
"Brimming with brutality yet full of heart, Megan Mostyn-Brown's The Need paints a portrait of genetic cannibals that feels believable, sharp, and delightfully present. Through the grit and blood emerges a complex story of family, stylishly written and unapologetically honest. The Sopranos meets The Hills Have Eyes. You'll want to gobble this up in one sitting."

(Mostly) Human Resources (2026)
(Entity Case Files, book 1)
Grace Viall
"Both charming and creepy, (Mostly) Human Resources combines cryptid hunting action with a tantalizing rivals-to-lovers romance, set in the mysterious and definitely monster-infested Appalachian Mountains. Viall's debut is a bingeable, unique, and effortless exploration of why you should stay the hell out of the woods. Corporate HR meets Supernatural; paranormal readers will devour this!"
