It’s been a while since I’ve done an A – Z list, and I thought it would be fun to do a horror version listing book titles A – Z (since I’ve never done one), especially in celebration of Summer of Horror. All of these are horror books I’ve read, except for a couple of tough letters, and for those I went with books on my TBR. I wanted to show all 26 books in alphabetical order in a nice gallery, and then I’m also listing the books with links to my reviews. Some of the letters are so popular that it was actually hard to pick just one book! I’ve tried not to repeat authors, although I’m giving Stephen Graham Jones a pass, just because. Here we go!
I haven’t read any of these but that’s not surprising as I avoid horror
I totally understand!
It makes me happy to see Episode 13 make your list!
I loved that book, and it’s one of the few E books I could think of:-)
Awesome! I’ve read a few, and see more I need to read! Plus, I need a “Z” book for a different challenge (for my book group), so Zone One is going on my list — thanks for the inspiration!
Ha ha glad I could find a Z book for you:-)
Stephen Graham Jones deserves the pass, haha! This idea is so fun, and I love seeing all these covers together. And I see so many of these that I’ve read and loved, and also so many that’s I’ve had on my TBR and really need to get to.
The Only Good Indians is definitely a favorite. I can only think of one book I’ve read that starts with an X (XX by Rian Hughes), but it’s not quite horror. That’s a tough one, lol. I have a lot that start with ‘Q’ because of ‘Queen,’ but that’s definitely more fantasy books than horror! Maybe Quietus by Vivian Schilling? But I don’t remember if that’s more mystery or horror, lol. Regardless, this list was so fun and I’m so glad you put it together.
Thanks Jordan! It was really fun to do!
What fun. I’ve read six of them and have lots of others on my TBR. Too many books. You know, I’ve read two other Stephen Graham Jones books besides The Only Good Indians and they weren’t my faves. I love that book so much and still think about it quite often. Hope I find another of his that hits that hard one day.
I feel like he hasn’t quite reached the level of The Only Good Indians since. It was such an amazing book.
I’ve only gotten into horror the last few years so I definitely couldn’t come up with an A-Z and definitely not Q or X! This reminds me I still need to read The Only Good Indians.
Oh yes, The Only Good Indians is one of Stephen Graham Jones’ best books.
Love this list! I’ve only read 5 on the list, but I see a few that are going to have to go on my TBR. Loved Zone One and glad to see it made it.
I almost forgot about Zone One, I read it quite a few years ago:-) Thank you!
I haven’t read any of these although I guess that’s not surprising as I don’t read a whole lot of horror. I’ve read another book, Echo Wife, by Sarah Gailey but I think that’s even the only book I’ve read by any of these authors so far I have a few of these on my TBR though and really want to pick up something by C.J Cooke pretty soon.
Ooh I loved The Echo Wife!
Brilliant.

Thanks Lynn:-)
The covers are interesting when you put a lot of horror together like that…lol.
I love the covers all together:-)
A whole alphabet of horror, I like it.
I like the way you dealt with X for this, might have to think along those lines for the Alphabet challenge I’m trying to do
It’s sort of a cheat, but almost impossible to find an “X” book, lol.
Finding books that start with Q or X is always a struggle, even when you don’t try to use only one genre! You did a great job with the list!!
Thanks Susy!
I do love an A-Z
They are fun:-)
Ooooo I am bookmarking this for future reference! I typically read horror in October and will definitely need the recs when it comes up! Thank you for sharing so many
Thanks Molly! I read horror all year, so I’m happy to add to your TBR:-)
Well done!
I’ve read a couple here: Just Like Home and The September House. And several others are on my TBR. As for Q or X, well I’ve read The Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice, but you’ve got me on X, all I could find that I’ve read are comic books (X-Men) and science fiction (Xenogenesis by Octavia Butler). Bet you had fun putting this one together.
Thanks Todd:-) I completely forgot about Queen of the Damned, good call!
This is a heck of a list! It’s always so hard to find things for Q,X, and Z!
It is so hard!
Nice! I read The September House, and I’ve got a few others on my TBR. I’m impressed that you filled all the letters!
What a fun post! Now I want to do something like this. I haven’t read any of these. The closest I could think of for a Q would be maybe Squelch by John Halkin. Hmm, would any of the X-Files books I’ve read count for horror? Lol. Now I want to do this for horror books and romance books and sci-fi, etc. Fun post!
