A reader's TheBookScription box with horror and thriller books, including A God in the Shed by J-F Dubeau
One real reader's box, shared in a review.

Your kind of scary

Gothic and ghost stories

Old houses that don't want you there, like Ronald Malfi's Little Girls or Olesya Salnikova Gilmore's The Haunting of Moscow House.

Literary and psychological

Horror that gets under your skin: Alicia Elliott's And Then She Fell has been our most-packed horror book lately.

Small towns and monsters

Something in the woods, something in the shed. J-F Dubeau's A God in the Shed and Stephen King's You Like It Darker are recent picks.

How it works

  1. Pick your box. Choose 3, 4, 5 or 6 books, monthly or just once.
  2. Pick at least four genres. Horror is already chosen for you; add three more you enjoy.
  3. Tell your curator about you. Favorite authors, books you own, anything to skip. A real person reads it.
  4. Open your surprise. New and like-new books, hand-picked, shipped free. Change genres, skip or cancel online anytime.

Questions

How scary will the books be?

As scary as you tell us. Say “spooky but not gory” or “no limits” in your note, and list anything you'd rather not read. A real person reads every note.

Is there a Halloween horror box?

Every box is chosen for one reader, so you can ask for it: pick Horror, and write “extra spooky for October” in your note.

Will I get books I already own?

Not one you tell us about. List the books and series you already own in your curator note. We also keep a record of every book (by ISBN) we send you, so we won't send you the same book twice. If a repeat ever slips through, you choose: 50% back on that box, or two extra books in your next one.

Can I skip a month?

Yes. Monthly subscribers can skip, move, pause or cancel online before their next billing date.
