THE SECERT LIVES OF ZOMBIE WIVES by Barbara Truelove
9781250427434 | 2/2/27
Patricia is a reformed zombie.
She’s also an influencer—the wholesome, homey, traditional values kind—a career built up with the help of her husband, Ralph. Cooking, shopping, and hanging out with her friends; most days, it’s easy to forget she’s even dead, so long as she takes her antifungal medication. But when a zombie horde starts approaching her fenced community, Patricia comes face to face with memories of an era of her life she thought she’d left behind.
Perhaps life with overbearing Ralph isn’t quite as perfect as she’d hoped, and maybe everyone kind of has the wrong idea about the zombie horde—they’re not frightening, they’re beautiful to Patricia, and they prompt her to embrace her true, authentic self.
Unfortunately for Ralph, this involves eating his brain on livestream.
CHASING DEMONS by Will Schindler
9781250393340 | 1/19/27
A haunting horror-thriller novel in which a series of gruesome murders forces a man to face the demons of his past if he has any hope of saving his future.
Twenty-three years ago, while undergoing treatment at a Young Persons’ Mental Health Institute, Joel Sampson witnessed—and survived—a massacre. The trauma reshaped him, yet he eventually built a steady life as a schoolteacher and devoted father. But when his former therapist is discovered murdered in the same grotesque manner as the original massacre’s victims, Joel is pulled back to his hometown of Tayborough to confront his demons.
As more bodies start piling up, suspicions turn toward Joel himself. His own long-buried memories remain fractured and unreliable, and even he starts to fear what he might be capable of. Desperate for answers, he launches his own investigation into the events and surrounding deaths.
The deeper he digs, the more he becomes convinced that something supernatural is connecting the past to the present. Even worse comes the realization that someone may be deliberately manipulating the dark forces that have shadowed his life. As suspicions grow, Joel must come face to face with his own demons if he’s to save himself and everyone he cares for.
CHIMERA by Gretchen Felker-Martin
9781250347978 | 2/16/27
Centuries ago, in the dark of the woods, a pact was made. A gift was given. And the costs have echoed down the bloodlines.
The clans of skin dancers—humans able to shapeshift into the form of any animal they’ve eaten—rule the 1980s New England crime scene. A late-summer wedding between two families is meant to usher in a new era of peace between households and stifle the brewing tensions that threaten to boil over into war.
But something is lurking in the forest outside the family compound. Something ancient, angry… and starving.
THE NECROMANCER’S HOUSE by Christopher Buehlman
9781250489098 | 2/23/27
Andrew Ranulf Blankenship is a handsome, stylish nonconformist with wry wit, a classic Mustang, and a massive library. He is also a recovering alcoholic and a practicing warlock, able to speak with the dead through film.
His house is a maze of sorcerous booby traps and escape tunnels, as yours might be if you were sitting on a treasury of Russian magic stolen from the Soviet Union thirty years ago. Andrew has long known that magic was a brutal game requiring blood sacrifice and a willingness to confront death, but his many years of peace and comfort have left him soft, more concerned with maintaining false youth than with seeing to his own defense.
Now, a monster straight from the pages of Russian folklore is coming for him, and frost and death are coming with her.
