Terms of Use

Updated 16 October 2026. These terms concern HorrorBooks, a publication at horrorbooks.co.

Reading guidance and its limits

The site offers research-led information about prose horror, authors, editions and reading sequences.

Check the exact edition before relying on a contents list, translation, abridgement, narrator or page count. Source records can change. Publication years describe original works unless a page labels them as edition dates. Fictional events are not historical, scientific or medical evidence.

Use of the pages

You may read, link to and print the guides for personal reference. Short quotations should credit HorrorBooks and link to the source page. Do not republish full articles, sell the site's original reference sheets or present its writing and design as your own.

The site's original text, layouts and permitted illustrative assets have their own rights. A public-domain work may have a modern introduction or translation that remains protected.

Other websites

Publisher descriptions can contain spoilers. See the disclosure.

Corrections

Send a suspected error with its page URL, book title, edition or ISBN, and a source showing the correction through the contact form. Put a spoiler warning before any plot outcome. Do not send material you lack the right to share.

Contact and policy changes

The contact route is email to HorrorBooks. The privacy page explains this version's scripts and storage. Changes to these terms will carry a revised date.
