The New York Times has released its list of the best horror books of 2024 and we you covered with all their picks! Keep reading to see what books made their end of year list!
Horror novels are beloved by millions and novels that you van read all year round, not just in October. What I love about this genre is how different it is from other genres and you can’t really describe a horror book to your friend without sounding crazy!
And the New York Times just released their list of the best horror books of 2024! The Times said that “we are in the golden age of horror” and I didn’t even know that we were! I will be doing some more research and learning more about this golden age.
The horror genre is one that doesn’t always get covered. Like I said, people mostly associate it with October and Halloween. Unless Stephen King is releasing a novel, don’t expect this genre to get much coverage. But luckily, the NY Times has been covering the genre for all of 2024 and you can see their picks for the best books of 2024 below!

What the NYT thinks and what readers, according to Goodreads, think, are two vastly different subjects. So, does one listen to the people who put money in the pockets of authors or the editorial staff that thinks they make the rules?
