My Top Ten Horror Books of 2024 • Out of 40+ harrowing reads!

Another year, another top ten, and yet another where I did not make my goal of 52 books. Close! But not quite. The top ten surprised me in a few ways, but the very top book was a given for me ~ as with any year, that number one spot just sort of stands out. I also discuss a few plans going forward, like reading more Richard Laymon, Edward Lee, and Ronald Malfi - all of which feature here. Indeed, there is a Lee book in the mail as we speak, and a few more in the works. You may see a few books mentioned through the year - or even recently read - that are not in the list. Either I totally forgot them, they were not on Goodreads, or I did not actually finish them. Four honourable mentions that should have been here, with three making the top fifteen are: All These Steps Lead Down - Nelson W. Pyles Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? - Eric Powell and Harold Schechter Rare Specimen and Other Stories - S.J. Shank Acts of Violence: Twelve Tales of Terror - Marcus Hawke Nineteen Little Stab Wounds - Alexis DuBon As mentioned, I will be reading along with the #richardlaymonbookclub on instagram curated by @constantreader89!
