Daniel Kraus recommends
Small Town Horror (2024)
Ronald Malfi
"This isn't only Malfi's masterpiece, it's a heroic swing at the Great American Novel, and will be nakedly terrifying to anyone who's been a kid-and to anyone who's grown up with regret. This is heavyweight horror, a total knockout."
Womb City (2024)
Tlotlo Tsamaase
"A fierce, furious, and fearless debut that has its finger on the pulse - no, the gushing wound - of our world's most invasive cruelties."
The House of Last Resort (2024)
Christopher Golden
"An absolute ripper of a fire-and-brimstone, capital-H Horror novel. I tore through it so fast my fingertips bled. Which probably summoned the book's demons."
