Welcome friends and fiends! Here is an updating list of horror titles being released December 2024, divided by the week that they drop. Listings are for each week starting on Tuesday because this is the most common publication day. This is set up this way so you can check what is releasing weekly and preorder the books that catch your eye. This is a fairly comprehensive list of all things horror, including traditional publishers, indie publishers, and self-published works. I provide at least one link where you can find the book and purchase it directly.

Want to know what books I have on my TBR? The books with a featured cover at the top of each week are the books that I am planning to read!

This is a project I hope to do every month, with posts going up at the end of the month. My aim is to share the books I run into with my monthly scrolling and to have a venue to lift up authors. If you have a book releasing this month that you don’t see on the list, please feel free to leave a comment on this post to get the book added to the list.
