For a more folk-horror angle, 'The September House' by Carissa Orlando is fantastic. A woman decides to just... live with her haunted house because moving is too much hassle. The premise is darkly funny, but the execution is genuinely terrifying as the house’s "rules" escalate each September. The thriller element is in uncovering why the house is haunted and how far the protagonist will go to maintain her bizarre normalcy. It’s a brilliant take on domestic horror and the supernatural, with a surprisingly emotional core.
‘Sundial’ by Catriona Ward, while maybe more psychological horror, has such a pervasive, unsettling weirdness it borders on the supernatural. The setting—a remote house in the Mojave desert called Sundial—holds disturbing family secrets and possibly a sentient, malignant force. The thriller element is the cat-and-mouse game between mother and daughter, each with their own dangerous truths. Ward is so good at making you question reality and motive, creating a deeply paranoid and scary reading experience.
‘Jackal’ by Erin E. Adams is a social horror thriller with a supernatural core. In a Rust Belt town, Black girls keep disappearing during the summer solstice, and the protagonist returns to investigate when her friend’s daughter vanishes. The thriller is a race against time, and the supernatural element is tied to local legends and the dark woods surrounding the town. It’s a sharp commentary on racism and community secrets, with a monster that is both literal and metaphorical. The pacing is relentless and the reveals are chilling.

Lust doesn’t care who’s watching—or what form it takes.
From growling beasts in the woods to possessive men in penthouses, from scandalous threesomes under silk sheets to Santa’s very naughty lap—Crave is a shameless collection of er*tic shorts where anything goes and no fantasy is too filthy.
Whether it’s a witch getting wrecked by her summoned demon, a sweet librarian bent over by her best friend’s dad, or two enemies going down instead of throwing punches—this book doesn’t slow down for breath.
Straight. Gay. Monsters. Mortals. Magic.
Each story is short, dirty, and unapologetically hot.
You’re not here for love. You’re here to get off. So get in, stay wet, and Crave harder.
These are the tales society whispers about but never dares to speak aloud: the aching pull of step-parents and step-children, the dangerous heat of family secrets, and the kind of love that thrives in shadows. From scorching heterosexual passion to steamy lesbian and gay encounters, every flavor of forbidden ecstasy awaits.
Here, rules are shattered.
Hearts betray reason. Characters surrender to the raw, uncontrollable urge to touch what they shouldn’t, step-fathers, step-mothers, blood-bound temptations, and every wicked variation in between.
This is not gentle romance. This is wild, sinful, unapologetic lust wrapped in love. A dance on the razor’s edge between control and chaos, guilt and surrender.
Between the crushing weight of sin and the sweet sting of redemption, these lovers become entangled in secrets, temptation, and pleasure so intense it borders on madness.
Because sometimes the most dangerous thing isn’t the sin itself…

Esmeralda Cantari has spent her life being told she is a mistake.
The unwanted daughter of a powerful angel prince and a disgraced witch, she was cast aside by her father and barely tolerated by her mother’s coven. When her magic fails to appear like every other young mage’s, the coven finally exiles her for good.
But the night they drive her out, something awakens.
Blood answers her call. Wings of midnight blue and black tear free from her back. And suddenly the powerless girl everyone despised becomes something far more dangerous.
Returning to Rosewood Sanctum for her third year, Esmeralda must hide abilities that could make her a target in a school ruled by powerful bloodlines—including the half-siblings who have bullied her for years. Yet strange things are already happening around the academy. Students are disappearing. Bodies are found drained of blood. And rumors of ancient monsters once thought extinct begin to circulate.
The only people who seem to notice Esmeralda’s true potential are the most feared group of heirs at Rosewood: a shadow demon with dangerous curiosity, a brooding shifter whose beast reacts to her presence, a brilliant mage who feels he’s seen her before, a relentless fae warrior who sees her strength, and an angel prince who is watching her far too closely.
As the mystery deepens, Esmeralda begins to realize her awakening may not be a coincidence.
Something ancient is rising in the shadows of the supernatural world.
And it has already started hunting for her.
They sold me to monsters to kill them.
I arrived at Thornwood Estate as a weak, frightened Omega, chains on my wrists and murder in my heart. The Sanctuary trained me in secret, gave me a deadly mission. Get close to the three cursed Alphas, earn their trust, then end them.
But nothing went according to plan.
Silas with his stone arm and cold commands. Rook, the massive beast who protected me instead of devouring me. Wren, whose visions quiet when he touches my skin. These broken men are not the mindless killers I was told about. Every touch, every raw and desperate night we share cracks my walls and their curses.
Now I am falling for the men I came to destroy. The house watches us. The Entity hungers. And my real masters are coming to collect.
In this gothic nightmare of lust, lies, and ancient evil, I must choose. Complete my mission or fight beside the Alphas I have grown to love.
Forget everything paranormal romance taught you about playing it safe. The vampires here don't sparkle and the werewolves don't apologize for their nature, here the demons are surprisingly good at negotiation.
Freaky After Dark is a collection of steamy paranormal stories where supernatural creatures get to be exactly what they are; powerful, possessive, and irresistibly magnetic.
These aren't just about pretty faces with fangs. Every creature has their own nature, their own needs, their own way of loving that's deliciously different from anything human.
From vampires whose bites promise pleasure to werewolves who claim their mates under the full moon and demons who seduce with words as much as touch, Nagas who wrap around you, Dragons whose warmth becomes addictive. And yes, a few beings with creative anatomy.
There's an actual story here with conflict, emotion and characters who probably want more than just a quick hook-up. But when desire takes over, these creatures don't hold back, they are intense, devoted, and they know exactly how to make you forget your own name.
Expect claiming marks, protective possession, fated mates, size differences, primal need, reverse harem and pleasures that borders on overwhelming, and supernatural stamina that doesn't quit.
️Not for you if: you prefer things slow and gentle, or if the idea of non-human lovers doesn't appeal.
Perfect for you if: you've always wondered what it would be like to be wanted by something powerful, to be claimed by someone who'll never let go, to find out if monsters really are better in bed.
Are you ready to find out what you've been missing?
Olivia Morgan never believed in monsters, but the woods outside her hometown seem to disagree.
Haunted by dreams she’s never been able to explain, Olivia’s life takes a sharp turn one Halloween night when she discovers a black wolf caged beneath silver bars.
But when the wolf shifts into Ezekiel—a warm-hearted Alpha with an infuriating smile—Olivia’s reality fractures.
Upon freeing him, she finds out he's her fated mate and se's bound to him and a world of wolves and Lycans she never knew existed.
Her senses heighten, shadows stalk her every step, and Ezekiel insists she’s no longer safe among humans.
When her estranged grandfather, Roman, Alpha Ezekiel's Beta, appears with answers Olivia never asked for, she learns she’s not just anyone—she’s the daughter of a prince and part of a royal Lycan bloodline.
Torn between the familiar world she’s known and the legacy pulling her deeper into Silver Lake’s supernatural web, Olivia is faced with enemies she can’t yet understand.
Malakai, the feared adversary of her family, seems to know more about her past than anyone, and his motives feel far more complicated than simple vengeance.
As Olivia unlocks her dormant powers and unearths secrets about her parents’ deaths, she realizes nothing is as it seems.
And when an ancient curse sweeps through Silver Lake, threatening everyone she’s come to care for, Olivia must decide: run from the destiny she never asked for or stand and fight.
For a more literary take on psychological suspense, try 'Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead' by Olga Tokarczuk. It's a crime story, but it's also a philosophical meditation on animal rights, astrology, and alienation. The suspense is quiet and creeping, built on the narrator's increasingly unhinged but compelling worldview. You're drawn into her logic even as you suspect she might be capable of anything. The crime plot is almost secondary to the psychological portrait, which is what makes it so unique and absorbing. It's not a page-turner in the conventional sense, but it turns pages through sheer hypnotic character depth.
I keep a list on my phone! Let me pull it up... Okay, for modern supernatural scares that feel different, I'd add 'The Children of Red Peak' by Craig DiLouie. It's about survivors of a religious doomsday cult, dealing with trauma and the possibly supernatural thing they witnessed. The horror is in the memory, the doubt, the survivor's guilt. Is the terror inside them, or did they really witness a god? That ambiguity, tied to the very real horror of cult psychology, feels like a new blend. It's less about the event and more about the lifelong haunting of it.
The fear of being replaced or erased is huge in the digital age. 'The Return' by Rachel Harrison is about a woman whose friend comes back after vanishing for two years, but she's... off. The horror is in the slow-burn suspicion, the uncanny valley of a person you love changing in imperceptible ways. It redefines the doppelgänger or changeling myth for a time of social media personas and the anxiety that people can become strangers.
