Readers' Most Anticipated Horror Novels for 2025

"Historians can tell you that, as a category, the scary story has been around for as long as stories themselves. Horror fiction has its roots in folklore, passed down through the ages via storytelling and oral traditions. The written horror story goes back a ways, too. Did you know that Pliny the Younger wrote about a haunted house in Athens, almost exactly 2,000 years ago? It's true.

All this to say: It's time for another year of scary stories! To accommodate future reading plans and sequencing, we've assembled this month-by-month guide to 2025's most anticipated horror novels. These are the books that are generating the most interest from your fellow Goodreads horror fans—sorted by publication date. And we've added a bit at the end for young adult horror coming this year." ~Goodreads
