From a modern gothic horror for little ghouls to chilling listens, we’re sharing the top listens that get you in the mood for spooky season.

The Night House by Jo Nesbo

A pulsating coming-of-age horror sees a small-town outcast pursue the otherworldly disappearance of his classmate. From the pen of the Nordic King of Crime, this is perfect for fans of Stephen King and Stranger Things.

Hollows by Daniel Church

A gripping folk-horror in which small town evil meets aeons-buried horror, perfect for fans of Margaret Killjoy, Sharon Bolton and the films of John Carpenter.

Sundial by Catriona Ward

Plumbing the psychological depths and traps of toxic relationships, this breathtakingly original horror proves Catriona Ward is the twenty-first century answer to Shirley Jackson.

From The Depths Edited by Mike Ashley

The supernatural is set alongside the grim affairs of sailors scorned in these salt-soaked tales, recovered from obscurity by Mike Ashley for the 21st century.

Deity by Matt Wesolowski

Dark, chillingly topical and deeply thought-provoking, Deity is an explosive thriller with lashings of supernatural horror – perfect for fans of Katheen Barber and Ruth Ware and featuring the creepiest woods since The Blair Witch Project.

Room 13 by Robert Swindells

For younger listeners we have the spooky modern classic from Robert Swindells, just don’t listen to this under the covers at midnight!
