Keep the Lights On for these 5 Horror Book of the Month Club

Horror stories are as old as the beginning of time, even though horror book of the month clubs are a much more recent idea. Many of the first stories told were folk stories, often possessing a scary or horrific element to help teach the reader a lesson. In fact, many of the fairytales we enjoy today initially were fables filled with death, deceit, and occasionally cannibalism.

Horror stories evolved over the years, and we have many authors from the past to thank for bringing us some of our monsters, such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Plus, other historical novelists such as Edgar Allen Poe and H.P Lovecraft helped build the foundation for today’s more modern horror stories.

Today, there are thousands of authors of horror novels, making it a challenge to choose which book to read first. However, the good news is that there are horror book of the month subscription boxes that take the guesswork out of choosing your next great read.

A horror book of the month subscription box is the ideal gift for yourself or the horror book fanatic in your life. Though technically, there is a difference between horror, suspense, and thriller genres, many books fall into all three categories, which is how we chose the clubs below.

There are book subscription boxes for every bookworm out there, and for those who love a good scary book to keep you company in the dark of night, these subscription boxes are for you.

Though all four of the clubs offer horror book subscription boxes, they all put their own twist on it making each one unique. Some of the boxes offer multiple books, others have add-ons included to make the subscription more fun, and yet others include book physical and eBooks.

There are other options for book lovers too, including general book clubs, book clubs for kids, and comic book subscriptions.

Tailored Book Recommendations

This book club doesn’t focus on horror, but don’t write it off just yet. As the name suggests, Tailored Book Recommendations (or TBR) is a customized service.

Members are paired with what the company calls a bibliologist or ‘professional book nerd’. That bibliologist chooses three books for you each quarter, based on your interests.

You’re able to make whatever requests you like for the types of books that you want, so you can focus entirely on horror books. The way that your book selection is tailored to you could mean that you get some books that you wouldn’t find with any other club.

The club costs $80 per quarter or $315 each year. Shipping costs $5 if you join quarterly and is free for the yearly version. Either way, you’re sent out three hardcover books every quater.

There’s also a Recommendations Only membership that can be joined from anywhere in the world. This one costs just $16 per quarter or $52 each year. The difference is that you don’t get any physical books – just recommendations. You’ll then need to source the books yourself.
