Books containing: Supernatural Horror

Supernatural horror in fantasy includes haunted locations, malevolent ghosts, demonic entities, cosmic and eldritch beings, cursed objects, the undead, and other elements drawn from the horror tradition and woven into fantasy worlds. It appears in dark fantasy, gothic fantasy, urban fantasy, and any subgenre engaging seriously with the dread of the supernatural. Tone ranges from atmospheric unease to outright terror, with some books leaning toward jump-scare imagery and others toward sustained psychological dread. Body horror, possession, and gore often appear alongside it.

Readers who love horror-tinged fantasy seek out exactly this. Others may want lighter reading, especially during difficult periods, and find sustained supernatural dread overwhelming.
