Horror and supernatural fiction books

If you want to be chilled by monsters dredged from the depths of depravity or terrified by unknown supernatural horrors, you’ve come to the right place. From classic gothic tales to modern masterpieces of the macabre, we’ve got something to satisfy your darkest desires. 

You can’t beat the classics when it comes to tales of terror. Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture Of Dorian Gray were all genre-breaking, revolutionary novels when they were originally published in the 19th century, and all still have the power to shock, terrify, unnerve and chill.

For more modern horror novels, try authors such as Peter Straub, Dean Koontz, James Herbert and Stephen King; all masters of horror, they’ve given us unsettling  and unforgettable tales such as, respectively, Ghost Story, Odd Thomas, The Fog and The Shining. Ordinary people in ordinary places in ordinary situations, unexpectedly faced with a relentless, unbeatable supernatural foe; something like that could never happen to you in real life… or could it?

Mythical monsters, vampires, ghosts and ghouls; all lurk within the pages of horror and supernatural fiction. Petrifying, unnerving, chilling and even romantic, this is a genre that holds something for everyone, whether you want to enjoy that creeping sense of foreboding that comes with knowing the next scare is just pages away, want to be scared stiff at the slightest innocuous tap at the window or swept off your feet by the passion of the otherworldly.   

So browse our new and pre-loved selection of books and see what horrors await, if you dare.
