There’s a lot of new horror coming in May. Mind-bending haunted houses. Gas stations you can never escape. Clones that take over your life. Searches for eternal youth, belonging, and self-improvement that go terribly, terribly wrong. Girl bosses morphing into werewolves. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

It’s the perfect time of year to craft that TBR and pile all of the new horror atop it. May 2026 horror books are going to haunt your nightmares for years to come.
