"As this decade comes to a close, however, we want to celebrate the horror novels that impacted us during the last 10 years. This list includes 25 novels published in English for the first time between 2010 and September 2019, and we've limited it to one book per author. We've made one exception for a short-story collection, but we otherwise stuck to novellas and full-length prose. "Horror" is a wildly subjective genre, and we invite debate over any and all lines we've drawn while assembling the list.
Whether or not every book below can be neatly shelved in the horror section, they all thrilled, chilled and delighted us this decade. We think they'll spook you, too."
