The 10 Best Horror Books of 2022 [Book Riot]
2022 has been a wild ride. As I reflect back on the year, it seems like 2022 has been filled with truly scary moments. But at least the horror books of this year have been good scary and not fear-for-the-future-of-humanity scary. Horror novels, as always, remain a great way to escape from the terrors of real life. And as real life continues to be full of frustrating (at best) and horrifying (at worst) moments, I continue to be thankful for all the good horror fiction coming out year after year. 2022 just so happened to be another really excellent year for horror.
Horror books in 2022 confronted difficult questions. They blended genres. They incorporated humor and satire. They made us laugh. They made us cry. They made us hide under the covers at night and sleep with the lights on. There were so many great horror novels this year, and everyone’s personal top ten list is probably going to look a little bit different. But for me, the following books were the best horror novels released in 2022.
My favorite thing about this list is that every book is so different. YA, adult, horror retellings, haunted houses, possessions, monsters, vampires, body horror, mushrooms…they’re all here. Did your favorite horror novel from 2022 make the list? Read on and find out!
