These are the best horror titles coming this Fall, from YA thrillers and spooky anthologies to ghost stories both literal and figurative.
Spooky boarding schools are a time-honored tradition in horror for a reason, and this fall debut author Tomi Oyemakinde puts his own spin on the subgenre with YA chiller,Trying to fit in at a school where you already feel like you don’t belong is challenging enough, but doing it while there’s a legendary monster possibly emerging among your classmates is absolutely nightmarish, in more ways than one.If it was left to her, Ife Adebola wouldn’t be starting at Nithercott School.
But when another student, Malika, begins acting strange, Ife can’t help but wonder if there’s more going on at Nithercott than she realizes. Could there be any truth to the school’s decades-old legend of the Changing Man? Is there any connection to the missing older brother of her classmate, Ben? As more questions arise, Ife has no choice but to team up with Ben and Bijal to investigate. But can the trio act quickly enough to uncover who is behind everything, before one―or all―of them is the Changing Man’s next victim?Elizabeth Hand is one of our finest horror authors, which means any new release from her is cause for celebration. Even with that in mind, though,feels special.
Despite her own hesitations, Holly’s girlfriend, Nisa, agrees to join Holly in renting the house for a month, and soon a troupe of actors, each with ghosts of their own, arrive. Yet as they settle in, the house’s peculiarities are made known: strange creatures stalk the grounds, disturbing sounds echo throughout the halls, and time itself seems to shift. All too soon, Holly and her friends find themselves at odds not just with one another, but with the house itself.
