I check out over 70 scary publications in 2014 and these are the ones I just can’t quit thinking of! Some made me wheeze, some made me feel a little bit ill and ALL of them gained a place on my 2025 favourites listing.
Whether you love gothic fiction dripping with wish (and rot), weird wintery mythology scary or simply love an unbalanced gorefest, there’s absolutely something in this video clip for you and your TBR.
In this video I’m sharing my leading 10 horror books of the year, why I enjoyed every one, and which ones actually surprised me (in an excellent way).
I wish to know … which scary books were YOUR favourites in 2025? Drop them in the remarks so I can include them to my never ever finishing, completely absurd TBR.
