New Dark and Twisty YA Reads for Fall
"Autumn is as joyful and sweet as an untimely end."
Ìý
This slightly unnerving quote, from the French poet and novelist Rémy de Gourmont, nicely conjures the mood of the season. Autumn is beautiful, and a little sad…and kind of spooky.
Ìý
This collection of dark and twisty YA books aims to capture the moody vibes of the fall season. We’ve got dark fairy tales and twisty mysteries, witchy romance and weird fiction, psychological thrillers and straight-up horror stories. Beware, gentle reader, for here be monsters and dead girls and very bad people.
Ìý
For your consideration: Tiffany D. Jackson brings real-world racial anxieties to the classic Carrie-style prom night with The Weight of Blood. Andrew Joseph White introduces a teen trans hero to the dystopian horror template in Hell Followed with Us. And Dana Schwartz goes full historical gothic in the cemeteries of 1817 Scotland with Anatomy: A Love Story.

All the titles here are 2022 books and are available now on shelves both actual and virtual. Scroll over the book cover images below for links and details, and don’t forget your Want to Read shelf.

I would add Pretty Dead Queens to this already great list.
I know they say to never judge a book by its cover, but I just picked up The Honeys from my local library because that cover is so gorgeous.

Just finished listening to the audio book of Truly Devious which was the perfect read to start off the fall season with! I am also currently reading Small Favors which is really spooky and atmospheric so far!
My brother and I have just released the third book of the Belinda Fellgate YA fantasy series. First - Belinda Fellgate: HellCat. Second - Belinda Fellgate: The Kiss of Flauros. Third - Belinda Fellgate: Malamok. Each chapter has a small greyscale illustration, and each book has a 12-page colour-plate section. All are available from Kindle, and all three will be available from Kindle Unlimited by the 12th November 2022. Readers are welcome to ask questions. We always reply.
