Welcome friends and fiends! Here is an updating list of horror titles being released June 2026. This is a fairly comprehensive list of all things horror, including traditional, small press, 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 so I can add your book to the list.
