All The Horror Reviewers You Will Ever Need
Are you a reader looking for scary book recommendations? Are you an author needing some reviews? Well, look no further than this list right here. These are the people you need to know. They live and breathe horror and LOVE to talk about it all over the internet.
Please know that this list is a work in progress. I will be adding more names and social media links as they are submitted. If you find are an active blog/booktube/bookstagrammer who reviews horror fiction regularly (at least 50% horror fiction) submit all social media links in the comments. Feel free to share this post but please credit me as the originator of the list. I will also be checking it every quarter to remove inactive blogs and those who have switched their focus from horror to other genres. If you do not review at least one horror novel a month you will be removed from the list. If I have to dig for pages to find a horror review you will not be put on the list. If you decide in the future to cover horror fiction regularly and want to be put back on the list please leave a comment. It's nothing personal, I'd simply like to keep this horror focused.
I will only add new people who include their complete URL's and tell me which category they prefer to be listed under. Thank you for understanding.
Authors: These are all active reader/reviewers but some may be "booked up" with ARC's at the moment. Please read their individual review policies to see if they're currently accepting books to review.

ReplyDeleteShould I put a little pink devil pic next to your link?! j/k
DeleteThis is awesome, thanks so much for including me!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Tammy :)
DeleteThanks for including me! Really chuffed! And the list will be useful in letting me stalk other horror fans!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's going to perfect for that!
DeleteWhat a great list and thanks for including me! I'll be checking these out and coming back often to find new ones!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Laura. It's going to be nice to have a central place to find everybody! I always visit blogs, love them and then forget about them. This should help with that.
DeleteYou are awesome for taking this on. I know how time consuming it can be but centralized resources for genres is SO helpful!
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
Thanks so much, Karen. I didn't realize how many horror people were out there on the internet or I may not have volunteered to do it, lol. But it'll be worth it in the end. I'd love to see one for other genres too but I'm not volunteering for anything else this month :)
DeleteCould you add me to the author/bloggers, Laurie? Been doing them on Goodreads with a few guest reviews at other sites, but the actual review page will be up tonight. www.dongillette.com/reviews Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOf course! Thanks for adding your gr link.
DeleteBark at the Ghouls...lol I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary. I was going to re-title it "Bark at the Ghouls, Ignore All the Fools" but figured that was taking things too far, lol.
DeleteI'd love to be included on your list. http://www.fundinmenal.com
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Gotcha!
DeleteThanks so much for including me! This is a great list. A lot of these people I already follow, but I love finding new horror reviewers!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!
DeleteOh my gosh!! Thanks so much for including me in the blogger list! <3 This is such an amazing resource!! Thank you for putting it together!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome :) I hope you find some new sites to haunt!
DeleteOmg yes thank you for this! I am a giant horror fan but always find it such an overlooked genre.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome. I hope you find lots of new to you sites to visit :)
Deletethis is an incredible list! thank you so much for including me :) i plan on working on my blog more often!!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome
DeleteThat's quite the list! I'm not a huge horror fan myself -- they give me nightmares. Yes, I'm an adult and scary books scare me, lol. I blame my vivid imagination. It's really awesome you compiled this list, though! I'm sure it took a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
Haha, I try to get everyone I know to read them but I always have few takers!
DeleteHey! So I dont review horror exclusively but if you like you can include me :)
ReplyDeleteI can mostly be found on my Twitter and GR.
www.goodreads.com/ReadReviewrepeat
And
Www.Twitter.com/BookahlcReviews
Working on making my insta more book related also:)
DeleteGotcha, thanks!
I'm looking for some good children's horror titles for my students. Thank you for your honest reviews and the list.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Jen is an expert in middle grade titles. Her blog is here: http://www.bookden.net/
DeleteThank you so much for including me! Wow, really appreciate it <3
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!
DeleteHi Laurie! Please mark me as closed for reviews until further notice. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWill do!
DeleteThank you very much for putting this together! It is extremely helpful.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget this new one: https://novaholiday.blogspot.com/ author migrating her reviews to a new blog, and also taking review requests! (but they have to be fiction, and no picture books or comics).
