New Releases—2021

Ladies of Horror Fiction New Releases - The banner simply states New Releases on a background with a skull atop a stack of books imprinted to the left.

Here is where you’ll find Goodreads links and release dates for as many novels from our Ladies of Horror Fiction as we can possibly find.

Are you a LOHF and have a book coming out? Drop us a line in the comments and we’ll make sure to add your book in!

These are listed in release date order. (Be aware that some may be re-releases or new editions.)

Anthologies Note: You may see anthologies on here with a male editor. We are still listing these books because they contain stories by women.
