I honestly thought Toadhead by Andrew Lyall was going to be a horror comedy with hypno-toads from #Futurama.
I was very wrong.
And it was fantastic.

Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix earned its place on my favorite books of 2025 list with humor and chaos.
Bonus for in depth horror movie lore and making me feel invested in the survival of a potted plant named Fine.

The Clatter Man establishes the folklore behind a Candyman-esque killer.
You can tell the author @j-schiecke.bsky.social loves the horror genre by how she pays homage to the tropes while still making the scenes her own.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid is a haunting and cerebral story. Im not even sure how to describe it without spoiling anything.
It's a short read, just give it a shot.
