Autumn arrived a few week ago, despite the streets not being convincing. The trees haven’t began to transform yet, and as I wait for my second favourite season to reveal itself, I’ve been compiling a list of the books that are bound to fill your feeds and conversations during the next few months.

Here are 24 books that will take over Autumn 2026:

Psychological thrillers & Mysteries

Gothic fiction & Horror

Literary fiction

Romance & Contemporary fiction

Fantasy

Memoirs & Literary nonfiction
