This year, Book Riot has been looking back at the best books of the century so far, broken out by genre and format. Publishing has changed a lot in the past 26 years, but one of the genres that has transformed the most is horror. In the 80s and 90s, horror was dominated by straight white cis men readers and authors. Fast forward to 2026, and horror has become much more diverse, with Black horror, queer and trans horror, and Japanese horror in particular making a big impact on the genre in recent years.
