Summer is finally coming to an end. There\u2019s a slight chill in the air, back to school shopping is in full swing, and the days are slowly but surely growing shorter. While some of us will mourn the loss of cookouts, beach trips, and stone fruit season until next year (I\u2019ll miss you, fresh peaches and nectarines), others will no doubt thrive as leaves begin to turn shades of red and yellow as autumn makes itself known. <\/p>\n

As it happens, fall is also the perfect time to pack your TBR pile with the books that will keep you occupied during these upcoming colder months. There is a plethora of new books hitting shelves between September and November to keep you reading, including a young girl fascinated with how quickly bodies decompose, a return to the world of Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell, and a myriad of haunted houses. Below you\u2019ll find the 27 upcoming books that we\u2019re most excited to get our hands on. <\/p>\n

But when a strange new coworker joins the crew and a series of unexplainable accidents take place on set, Mara can\u2019t shake the feeling that something supernatural might actually be afoot. <\/p>\n

Lucy Undying by Kiersten White<\/strong><\/h2>\n

September 3rd<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

2024 has been a stellar year for vampire novels. Kiersten White\u2019s queer, gothic fantasy, Lucy Undying<\/em>, is up next, and pays homage to one of Bram Stoker\u2019s most frequently disparaged characters. <\/p>\n

In Lucy Undying<\/em>, Lucy Westenra, one of Dracula\u2019s very first victims, gets a second chance at (after)life when she meets a young woman by the name of Iris in twenty-first century London.

In So Thirsty<\/em>, Sloane Parker\u2019s dreaded birthday takes a horrifying and blood-soaked turn when she lets her best friend and notorious troublemaker, Naomi, handle the party planning.

\"The<\/p>\n

We all know that outer space, though beautiful, is downright terrifying. Billed as Cassandra Khaw meets S.A. Barnes, Kemi Ashing-Giwa\u2019s new novella, This World Is Not Yours<\/em>, promises to be both of those things and more. <\/p>\n

After running away from her violent and manipulative family with her fianc\u00e9e, Vinh, Amara decides to put even more distance  between them by joining a new colonization project with her best friend, Jesse.

\"The<\/p>\n

For aspiring designer Dez Lane, dating Patrick Ruskin is first and foremost a one-way ticket to meeting his mother, Marie Caulfield Ruskin, editor-in-chief of the renowned Nouveau magazine. It\u2019s only natural that Dez would jump at the opportunity to visit Marie at her lakeside retreat for a holiday weekend. Little does Dez know that the staff the Ruskin family employ are fed up with their employers and determined to exact their revenge for years of abuse as soon as the ferry leaves for the mainland. <\/p>\n

Guillotine promises to be a fun, blood-splattered, \u201ceat the rich\u201d tale of revenge that fans of The Menu<\/em> and Ready Or Not <\/em>(or folks who thought Miranda Priestly got off a little too easy) are sure to enjoy. <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

When Lennon Carter receives a phone call inviting her to attend Drayton College, a magical school tucked away in Savannah, Georgia, it seems like life might finally be changing for the better. <\/p>\n

Students at Drayton have a special gift – the ability to manipulate other people and occasionally matter itself to bend to their will. As Lennon spends more time exploring her powers, Drayton\u2019s halls, and the office of her mysterious but alluring academic advisor, Dante, she begins to uncover the school\u2019s darker past. But at an elite magical school where everyone has an innate gift for bending the truth, who can you really trust?<\/p>\n

A Sunny Place for Shady People by Mariana Enr\u00edquez (translated by Megan McDowell) <\/strong><\/h2>\n

September 17th<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the mood to read some short stories that are bizarre, macabre, surreal, and downright terrifying, look no further than Mariana Enr\u00edquez\u2019s fabulously titled new collection, A Sunny Place for Shady People<\/em>. In these twelve tales, Enr\u00edquez pits ordinary people against the strange and unexplainable, ranging from women who used to be birds to melting faces. It is, in typical Enr\u00edquez fashion, deeply off-putting and equally spellbinding. <\/p>\n

\n

The Naming Song by Jedediah Berry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

September 24th<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Naming Song<\/em> by Jedediah Berry is a story about the power of words and, even more specifically than that, the power of names. <\/p>\n

In the world Berry has crafted, there is nothing more troubling or dangerous than an unnamed thing, and it is up to the committees of the named – divided into Maps, Ghosts, Dreams, and Names – to provide protection to those who cannot protect themselves.

Graveyard Shift by M.L. Rio<\/strong><\/h2>\n

September 24th<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Crazies<\/em> by way of an academic thriller (with a little bit of sporror thrown in for good measure), Graveyard Shift<\/em> by M.L. Rio is nothing short of an absolute blast. <\/p>\n

When a group of friends – a bartender, a hotel receptionist, an editor-in-chief of a college newspaper on the hunt for a new story among them – accidentally stumble upon a newly dug up grave on the way to work, they don\u2019t think much of it. Stranger things have happened, after all. But when the gravedigger returns to the scene and a connection to a series of violent incidents around town is revealed, they find themselves embroiled in a much larger and more dangerous mystery. <\/p>\n

The Bog Wife by Kay Chronister<\/strong><\/h2>\n

October 1st<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the mood to read a little folk horror this October, Kay Chronister\u2019s West Virginia-based gothic, The Bog Wife<\/em>, might be just what you\u2019re looking for. <\/p>\n

The Haddesleys are an odd family. For as long as any of them can remember, they have sacrificed the patriarch of their family to the bog on their property and the bog has provided them with a \u201cbog wife\u201d in return who will help to carry on the family name. This is all well and good (and, let\u2019s face it, deeply unsettling) until the bog refuses to honor its end of the bargain and what remains of the Haddesley family is thrown into disarray. <\/p>\n

Coup de Gr\u00e2ce by Sofia Ajram<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n

October 1st <\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Coup de Grace<\/em> by Sofia Ajram is the type of book that\u2019s best read in one go while sitting in a patch of sunlight. It is, to say the least, incredibly grim, but if you\u2019re looking for a story that scratches the House of Leaves<\/em> itch, then this is the book for you. <\/p>\n

Coup de Grace<\/em> begins with Vicken\u2019s plan to drown himself in the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal. His plans are thwarted, however, when he leaves the subway and discovers himself in a seemingly endless and empty terminal.

Manager of a hotel in Brooklyn by day, Tess Rosenbloom spends her sleepless nights reading and re-reading Blood Feud, her favorite vampire novel. And, while the internet seems to believe that Blood Feud is real, she knows better than to believe a few conspiracy theorists. At least, that is, until Blood Feud\u2019s irresistible leading man asks Tess for help. <\/p>\n

\n

Swordcrossed by Freya Marske<\/strong><\/h2>\n

October 8th<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s fair to say that Freya Marske is the queen of romantic fantasy novels. <\/p>\n

Her new book, Swordcrossed<\/em>, pits Mattinesh Jay, the heir to his failing family business, against Luca Piere, an undeniably charming con artist trying to make a new name for himself. When Mattinesh hires Luca to teach him the art of sword-challenge, a tradition that could destroy any hope of restoring the Jay family name, Luca reluctantly agrees. Why not help out a handsome wool merchant for a little bit of coin? The last thing either man expects is to form an alliance with one another \u2013 or the growing attraction between them. <\/p>\n

\n

This Cursed House by Del Sandeen<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

This Cursed House<\/em> by Del Sandeen begins with Jemma Barker, a young Black woman, leaving her life in 1960s Chicago – and the spirits that she can see – behind in order to work as a tutor for the Duchon family at their antebellum house in New Orleans. Jemma quickly discovers that there\u2019s more than meets the eye when it comes to the Duchons. The family is white passing, and refuses to treat Jemma, who has darker skin, as an equal.

\"The<\/p>\n

In an exciting and romantic blend of horror and romance, Colby Wilkens tells the story of two authors who can\u2019t stand one another who find themselves on a retreat together at a haunted castle in Scotland. <\/p>\n

Penelope Skinner can\u2019t stand Neil Storm and his best selling horror novels, which is why she threw a book at him. In hindsight, this probably wasn\u2019t the best move, and Penelope has been grappling with writer’s block ever since. When a writer’s retreat at a remote (and definitely haunted) castle promises a fresh start, the last person she expects to see there is Neil. <\/p>\n

\n

American Rapture by C.J. Leede<\/strong><\/h2>\n

October 15th<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Like many horror fans, I worship at the altar of C.J. Leede and her upcoming horror novel, American Rapture<\/em>, further proves that she\u2019s a force to be reckoned with. <\/p>\n

From there, Bata is shepherded to Ibaja-La, the land of ghost-brides, and quickly learns that it is up to her to protect the living from any malevolent spirits who linger there. <\/p>\n

It Will Only Hurt For A Moment by Delilah S. Dawson<\/strong><\/h2>\n

October 22nd<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

For many creative people (myself included), a secluded artists colony with no cell phone signal or internet access sounds kind of dreamy, but it\u2019s safe to say that that\u2019s very much not the case in Delilah S. Dawson\u2019s horror novel, It Will Only Hurt For A Moment<\/em>. <\/p>\n

On paper, Tranquil Falls is a perfect place for Sarah Carpenter to start over. It\u2019s gorgeous, secluded, and far away from her alcoholic mother and domineering boyfriend.

The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong<\/strong> <\/h2>\n

November 5th<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the mood for a cozy fantasy novel that isn\u2019t as heavy on blood, guts, and sword fights and is more akin to Monk and Robot<\/em> by Becky Chambers or the work of Travis Baldree, then you might want to check out The Teller of Small Fortunes<\/em> by Julie Leong.<\/p>\n

Tao is a fortune teller and spends her time traveling from one village to another telling \u201csmall\u201d, somewhat inconsequential fortunes that will come to pass in a few days.

Deadly Animals by Marie Tierney<\/strong> <\/h2>\n

November 11th<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s clear from the very first pages of Marie Tierney\u2019s novel, Deadly Animals<\/em>, that Ava Bonney is not a normal 14-year-old. Ava is obsessed with the rate at which dead animals decompose, and spends her nights patrolling the motorway in search of bodies she can take home and observe.
