We’ve got a lighter month, horror fiction-wise (if not reality-wise), in November, but there’s still a lot to be excited about here: dystopian aquatic sci-fi horror, cult horror, 80s throwback retro horror, gothic horror, and more. Enjoy!
Also, a note: we’re continuously updating release dates and newly announced books both here and on our 2020 horror releases master post.
