Freaks and frights lie hidden behind every turn in Barnes & Noble’s Best Horror Books of 2023! Haunted houses, creepy come-to-life puppets and nearly human monstrosities all await you in these bone chilling tales. It’s enough to keep you awake at night… or at least have you sleeping with one eye open.

The wait is over.

Return to the world of The Haunting of Hill House in A Haunting on the Hill – the highly anticipated return to the most famous haunted house, and the first authorized by the Shirley Jackson Estate. Hill House is back and more frightening than ever in this haunting tribute to Jackson’s work.

Edited by visionary writer and director Jordan Peele, Out There Screaming is the anthology of new Black horror we have all been waiting for. Skillfully compiled as only a master of the genre could do, witness new voices and new stories come alive in what is likely the best anthology of the year and certainly one for the ages!

Horror meets Western in Lone Women, the next book on our list of the Best Horror Books of 2023. Set against the backdrop of the blue skies and barren land of early 20th century Montana, suspense, adventure and horror unravel in the perfect setting for hiding chilling secrets.

The next installment in the Indian Lake trilogy is an homage to slasher films and an essential addition to your horror book collection. Don’t Fear the Reaper, the follow up to My Heart Is a Chainsaw, continues the story of Jade, who is released from prison on the same day a serial killer arrives to town. After a gruesome slaughter ensues, no one knows for certain who is to blame. Buckle up and hold on tight for a gory whodunnit-style roller coaster ride of savage and epic proportions.

These Best Horror Books of 2023 are not for the faint of heart! For those that can’t get enough, browse our complete selection of horror books from bestsellers to collectibles here at Barnes & Noble!
