Horror Reviewers


An Easy Guide to Locating Horror Reviews Without Losing Your Mind

Are you a reader looking for scary book recommendations? Are you an author needing some reviews but money is tight and you can't afford a PR team? 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 an active blog/booktube/bookstagrammer that reviews horror fiction regularly (at least 50% horror fiction) please let me know with a link to the blog/website in the comments. My end game is to include every active horror fiction reviewer in our community but I cannot do this without your help. Feel free to share this post but please credit me as the originator of the list. I will also be checking it every month or so to remove inactive blogs and those who have switched their focus from horror to other genres. If you do not review at least one true 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. 

Readers: If you do not want to be included here please let me know in the comments. If you'd like to be on the list please leave your social media links in the comments. Also let me know which category you prefer to be listed under. I had to guess on a few of you with multiple platforms. If you spot an error please let me know in the comments. Please do not sign up if you only read horror during October.

Authors: These are all active reader/reviewers but some may be "booked up" with tbr piles at the moment. You will have to review their individual review policies to see if they're currently accepting books to review.

If you discover a reviewer on this list is charging for reviews please contact me ASAP and they will be removed. This list is comprised of people who love the genre, not for those trying to make a buck off of reading.

It's such a great time to be a horror fiction fan, right?! If you haven't ventured over to Twitter, Booktube or Instagram or even the vast land of blogging, what the heck are you waiting for? All of these communities add so much enthusiasm and fun to the horror world. Now kiss your free time goodbye and start clicking!

    This is outstanding, Laurie. You rock! The only thing that's notably absent to me is HorrorTalk. If you want it, this is their staff page with all their reviewer contacts on it: https://www.horrortalk.com/staff/staff/

  19. Steve GroganSunday, August 25, 2019

    Wow! I'm an author with some pretty dark, graphic, and disturbing stories, and I have been struggling to find people who will be more open to reviewing to my work instead of basing their opinion on their gut reaction to the content. This is a goldmine. Thank you!

    PS: I haven't written any reviews yet, but I am also open to doing them. I review works based on whether or not the author achieved what they set out to do. In other words, I won't give a 1-star review because a story is "gross" or I don't like a main character. (Yes, I've actually had bad reviews for those reasons!) I have read the quietest of quiet horror authors, and I've read authors as gruesome as Edward Lee. My website:

    Hi there!
    I would like to be added to the list and believe I could fit as either an Author Blogger or more generally under Horror Fiction Bloggers / Websites, but the Author Blogger category seems more appropriate in this context. I regularly post almost exclusively horror reviews on my blog, https://aesiraki.wordpress.com and I'm on Twitter as @aesiraki.

    Thank you!

A LIttle Life by Hanya Yanagihara
Fiction, Unabridged Audiobook  32+ Hours

When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he’ll not only be unable to overcome—but that will define his life forever.
If you’re feeling a little too thrilled with yo…

Release Day Review: The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

Image
I ♥ everything about this one and I don't care what anyone else says. It's getting 5 stars from me.


The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
Thriller
Released January 2018
Amazon ♦ Goodreads
When you read this book, you will make many assumptions.

You will assume you are reading about a jealous ex-wife.

You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement – a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. 

You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle.
Assume nothing.

Twisted and deliciously chilling, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen's The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Read between the lies.

“Even when I’m not there, I’m always with you.”


Ladies and gents, if a lover ever says this to you, this lover is CREEPY and you should take it as a warning, not as a sweet nothing.

So, I read an excerpt of this book over at Bookishfi…
