Several outlets have published lists of horror books targeted at young adult readers, with some focusing on specific themes such as folklore-inspired horror or queer representation. The lists include a range of titles, with some outlets highlighting books suitable for tweens and teens, while others note that certain horror books may also appeal to adults. The exact books and themes featured vary across the lists, but they all appear to be recommending horror novels that are likely to be unsettling or frightening for readers.
