Hey there horror fans! Are you ready for your next spooky read? Well, you're in luck because there are some spine-chilling books coming out soon that you should definitely keep an eye out for.

First up, we have "The Whisper Man" by Alex North, which is set to be released on August 20th. This book follows the story of a boy who disappears and the creepy similarities it has with a case from 20 years ago. It's already generating buzz and is being compared to the likes of Stephen King, so horror lovers, get excited!

If you're a fan of true crime mixed with horror, then "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson is the book for you. It's actually a re-release from 2003, but the buzz around it has reignited since it was announced that Martin Scorsese is adapting it into a limited series for Hulu. The book covers the true story of a serial killer who used the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago as a hunting ground. It's a fascinating and terrifying read that you don't want to miss.

Another exciting release is "The Toll" by Cherie Priest, set to be released on July 9th. The book takes place in a world where the dead don't always stay dead and a creepy bridge that connects two small towns in Georgia. With ghosts, haunted buildings, and a thrilling mystery, "The Toll" is definitely one to add to your horror TBR pile.

For those who love a good classic horror story, "The Turn of the Key" by Ruth Ware is sure to deliver. It follows a live-in nanny who starts experiencing strange occurrences in the house she works in, ultimately leading to a murder investigation. Ware's previous books have been hit suspenseful thrillers, so we have high hopes for this one.

Last but not least, we have "The Deep" by Alma Katsu, which is set to be released on March 10th, 2020. This horror novel is a retelling of the Titanic legend, with a supernatural twist. It takes place on a sister ship of the Titanic with a group of passengers on a journey to the deep, dark depths of the ocean. As they travel, strange things start happening, and they uncover chilling and terrifying secrets.

So, there you have it, horror fans, a few upcoming releases that you should definitely keep an eye out for! With serial killers, ghosts, haunted houses, and spooky ships, there's something for every horror lover out there. Get ready to be scared out of your mind!
