I review 110 scary publications in 2025 and these are my Top 12 of the year (yeah, sorry, I could not stick to 10).
These are THE BEST of THE BEST. I read a mix of very dark, transgressive scary alongside even more absorbable scary, and I always flag strong triggers in advance. Please secure your tranquility.
If you’ve reviewed any of these, let me know. I enjoy to chat horror.
