Ninth House:  Bardugo, Leigh

Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?
Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. Their eight windowless “tombs” are the well-known haunts of the rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street’s biggest players. But their occult activities are more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive.

Fifteen-year-old Chris Dwyer and his friends have their summer all planned out with marathons of Atari and Dungeons and Dragons, interrupted only long enough to cool off at the local pool and possibly catch a glimpse of Melissa Casey in her pink bikini. But when reports of headless bodies surface on the evening news and a mysterious horned creature begins stalking Chris, plans change. He soon discovers his pursuer is none other than the legendary Goatman, a creature so terrifying and vicious it rips its victims apart with its bare hands. But what does it want with Chris? With his friends and brother by his side, Chris dives deep into the dark history of his hometown, uncovering a hidden world of witchcraft and demons. He hopes to discover the creature's origin and a means to stop its murderous rampage, but what he stumbles upon chills his very soul and causes him to question whether any of them will survive when the Goatman comes knocking.

Tiny Nightmares: Short Stories of Horror:  Michel, Lincoln

In this playful, inventive collection, leading literary and horror writers spin chilling tales in only a few pages. Each slim, fast-moving story brings to life the kind of monsters readers love to fear, from brokenhearted vampires to Uber-taking serial killers and mind-reading witches. But what also makes Tiny Nightmares so bloodcurdling - and unforgettable - are the real-world horrors that writers such as Samantha Hunt, Brian Evenson, Jac Jemc, Stephen Graham Jones, Lilliam Rivera, Kevin Brockmeier, and Rion Amilcar Scott weave into their fictions, exploring how global warming, racism, social media addiction, and homelessness are just as frightening as, say, a vampire’s fangs sinking into your neck. Our advice? Read with the hall light on and the bedroom door open just a crack.
