Happy Fall Equinox! Summer is officially over, so now it’s time to begin the season of cozy reading, my absolute favorite time of the year — the Fall!

Below are some titles that I am personally looking forward to checking out this Fall, most of which land in the science fiction, fantasy, horror, roleplaying, graphic novels, classics, historical fiction, and non-fiction categories and their respective subgenres. The first list of books is presented in order of release date from September 2026 through November 2026. After this main list, I’ve included some older titles to read before their new movie/TV adaptations come out, some of which have new editions this year. Finally, you’ll find a bonus section featuring themed Guides, Cookbooks, Craftbooks, Coloring Books, Sourcebooks, Card Sets/Games, Journals, Accessories, and more that are perfect companions for your Fall reading adventures, and also make great gifts. This guide contains links to each item; for books, I’ve included print, ebook, and audiobook editions.

100 Fathoms Below
Hardcover | Kindle | Audiobook
By Steven L. Kent and Nicholas Kaufmann
Publisher: Blackstone Publishing
Release Date: October 9, 2018

The men of the United States Navy vessel, the USS Roanoke, are on an important spying mission in Soviet waters. 100 fathoms below, they have no way out of their immediate quarters, even if they desire one. As various crew members begin to exhibit strange and violent tendencies, it soon becomes clear that something sinister is on board with them, and being enclosed and stuck in such close proximity to others has never been so terrifying.
