Hey book lovers,
I’m on the hunt for some new books to add to my collection and would love your recommendations. I’m into Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi, and the occasional Fantasy. If you’ve got any favorites in these genres, drop them below!
For reference, I’m a huge fan of paranormal horror, teenage murder mysteries, dystopian world-building sci-fi, and mythological fantasy. I also enjoy these genres with added horror elements.
I’m open to novellas or short series, as long as the book draws me in from the first page. I’m looking for newer books from 2018-2024, and upcoming releases are also welcome; I don’t mind pre-ordering.
I’m interested in books with likable characters, immersive world-building, major plot twists, and short chapters. Multiple POVs are a plus, though not a must-have.
Can’t wait to dive into new worlds! Thanks for your suggestions!

I just read In Ascension by Martin MacInnes and really liked it. I am forcing myself into more fiction so this was a great entry back.
Roadside Picnic by Strugatsky,
Library at Mount Char
Extinction Game trilogy by Gary Gibson, dystopian sci-fi, a little bit of horror.
The Expanse series starts with Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey, sci-fi epic adventures, 9 books in the series, and switches between multiple characters POVs.
Ready Player One and Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline, sci-fi adventure, fun and fast paced.
Some pure dystopian recs: How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu. One Year After by William Forstchen. Suffer the Children by Craig DiLouie. Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica.
