Horror Reviewer Directory
![]() 👀 at this cute graphic created by Erica Robyn! |
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 reader who reviews horror fiction regularly (at least 50% horror fiction) please submit all social media links you want included in the comments. Feel free to share this list 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.
You do not have to be affiliated with a huge blog or publication. If you review for Amazon and/or Goodreads on a regular basis and do not have a blog, that is perfectly fine. All avid horror readers who also review are welcome on this list!
Please alert me to any broken links you find! I try my best to periodically check them but I don't always catch them.
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.
Horror Fiction / Websites
(these readers review all horror or a good portion of horror on their blogs)
Please read individual review policies before contacting these reviewers! I try to update every few months but most of us go off/on ARC hiatus and I can't keep up.
