Scary Reads, Freshly Bagged!

It's Christmas in the bookshop, which means it's insanely busy, but I had a moment to snap some pics of these new horror releases from the last couple of months. 

For Older Readers (mostly 12+)


  • Zom-B by Darren Shan: Shan is one of the undisputed masters of YA horror, and I'm halfway through this excellent book. Review coming soon.
  • Oblivion by Anthony Horowitz: I've only read Raven's Gate, the first in this series, but it completely blew me away. Can't wait to get up to book 5, I love a horror story set in the ice.
  • The Sacrifice by Charlie Higson: One of my absolute favourite series, and my favourite zombie apocalypse tale. Review coming soon.
  • Unwholly by Neal Shusterman: SO excited to see this. Unwind (the prequel to Unwholly) has one of the most memorably horrific scenes I've ever read. 
  • Haunters by Thomas Taylor: More time travel than horror, but still a great read. Review here.
  • Spook's: Slither's Tale by Joseph Delaney: Wow. Where do I even begin? A new Spook's tale, but one that follows a Haizda mage called Slither. Possibly my favourite Spook's story yet. Review coming soon.
  • Shadows by Ilsa J. Bick: Sequel to Ashes which I never quite got around to reading, but was highly recommended by friends.
