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? 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. 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. It's nothing personal, I'd simply like to keep this horror focused.

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 or personally profiting from reading (I'm not talking about ads and covering website fees) 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!

Horror Fiction Bloggers / Websites

Author Bloggers

  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.

Thriller Review: The Other People by C.J. Tudor

Even though everyone seems to adore The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor, I liked this one better.



The Other People by C.J. TudorReleased January 2020

Thriller  |  Goodreads  |  Amazon

Source: Library Loan She sleeps, a pale girl in a white room . . .

Three years ago, Gabe saw his daughter taken. In the back of a rusty old car, covered in bumper stickers. He was driving behind the car. He watched her disappear. But no one believes him. Most people believe that his daughter, and wife, are dead. For a while, people believed that Gabe was responsible.

Three years later and Gabe cannot give up hope. Even though he has given up everything else. His home, his job, his old life. He spends his days and nights traveling up and down the motorway, sleeping in his camper van in service stations, searching for the car that took her. Searching for his daughter.

Katie spends a lot of her life in service stations, working as a waitress. She often sees Gabriel, or 'the thin man' as she has nicknamed him. She …

Book Review: The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling

Hi everyone, I remembered I have a blog and am back with a review. My apologies for the slacking during this apocalypse but it's been hard to find structure and motivation.



The Luminous Dead by Caitlin StarlingPublished April 2019

Dark Fiction  |  Goodreads  |  Amazon

Source: Purchased A thrilling, atmospheric debut with the intensive drive of The Martian and Gravity and the creeping dread of Annihilation, in which a caver on a foreign planet finds herself on a terrifying psychological and emotional journey for survival.

When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits, and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck—enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother—meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane.

Instead, she got Em.

Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre’s body with drugs or wi…

There be monsters here!



The Festering Ones by S.H. CooperPublished October 2019

Dark Fiction  |  Goodreads  |  Amazon

Source: Received for Review Consideration A monster lurking in the mountain.

A mysterious cult seeking a doorway.

An otherworldly evil waiting to be unleashed.

Faith York was a young girl when she saw her father dragged into the ground by a spider-armed woman, never to be seen again. Twenty years later, the events of that day continue to haunt her, and her need for answers has only grown stronger with time. After her estranged mother's death forces her to return home, old wounds are reopened and Faith finally decides to face her demons. What started as a search for closure soon pits her against a shadowy cult known as The Gathered and the eldritch beings they worship. With reality becoming more blurred by the day and the thousand eyes of an alien deity fixed on her, Faith must decide if the dark secrets of White Crow Mountain are really worth losing herself over
