Psychological Horror</h2> <p>Psychological horror heavily focuses on the mental distress of the character and often relies on suspense and anxiety to heighten the fear of the reader. </p> <p><em>Mine</em> by Robert McCammon, for example, shows the monstrous decent of what a mother will do to get back her child. <em>Last Days</em> by Brain Evenson shares the story of a detective who has to give up parts of his own body—one by one—to infiltrate a cult.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Psychological-Horror.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-716" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/horror-genres/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Top 10 Most Popular Horror Genres" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Psychological-Horror.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Psychological-Horror.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Psychological-Horror-300x225.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Psychological-Horror-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Comedy Horror</h2> <p>Though it may seem contradictory, the comedy horror genre mixes bizarre horrific elements with comedic events to produce both laughs and fear.</p> <p>Jason Wong’s <em>John Dies at the End</em> is one such example that involves two college dropouts, strange drugs, and an alien invasion. <em>Horrorstör</em> by Grady Hendrix is set in the scary world of retail where three employees volunteer to take the night shift only to encounter strange occurrences and nightmares.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Comedy-Horror.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-717" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/horror-genres/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Top 10 Most Popular Horror Genres" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Comedy-Horror.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Comedy-Horror.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Comedy-Horror-300x225.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Comedy-Horror-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Zombie Horror</h2> <p>Some of the most popular survival horror stories fall under the zombie horror sub-genre—often taking place in an apocalyptic setting where the characters have to survive and fight against the undead.</p> <p>Stephen King’s <em>Cell</em> follows the story of a father trying to get back to his son through zombie-infested lands. <em>World War Z</em> by Max Brooks is a classic and shares the story of survivors of a zombie apocalypse from across the world.  </p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Zombie-Horror.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-718" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/horror-genres/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Top 10 Most Popular Horror Genres" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Zombie-Horror.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Zombie-Horror.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Zombie-Horror-300x225.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Zombie-Horror-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Monster Horror</h2> <p>Filled with unnatural monstrosities, the monster horror genre tends to invoke fear from the monsters and creatures found within the story. </p> <p>A great example of this is <em>Salem’s Lot</em> by Stephen King. The story is set in 1975 and is about a vampire that terrorizes a small town in Main. Josh Marlerman’s <em>Bird Box</em> is another popular example that involves creatures that, if seen, will make you go mad.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Monster-Horror.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-719" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/horror-genres/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Top 10 Most Popular Horror Genres" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Monster-Horror.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Monster-Horror.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Monster-Horror-300x225.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Monster-Horror-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Paranormal Horror</h2> <p>Going beyond the scientifically explainable, paranormal horror often features ghosts, possessions, witches, and other supernatural elements. </p><div class='mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle' style='display: none !important;'></div> <p>Muriel Spark’s <em>Ghost Stories</em> is one such example featuring a series of short stories all dealing with ghosts. <em>The Changeling</em> by Victor LaValle follows the story of a father (Apollo), his wife, and his daughter and the paranormal events that affected the household after the death of Apollo’s father.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Paranormal-Horror.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-720" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/horror-genres/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Top 10 Most Popular Horror Genres" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Paranormal-Horror.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Paranormal-Horror.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Paranormal-Horror-300x225.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Paranormal-Horror-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. True Crime</h2> <p>While most genres of horror lay in the fictional realm, true crime does not. The genre follows horrific events based on real-life crimes. </p> <p>Maureen Callahan’s <em>American Predator</em> shares the life of Israel Keys—a brutal 21st-century American serial killer. <em>The Devil in the White City</em> by Erik Larson also follows the story of a serial killer who tricked his victims by pretending to be a doctor. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/True-Crime.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-721" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/horror-genres/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Top 10 Most Popular Horror Genres" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/True-Crime.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/True-Crime.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/True-Crime-300x225.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/True-Crime-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">8. Sci-Fi Horror</h2> <p>Sci-fi horror often involves stories of mad scientists, aliens, and futuristic technology. George R. R. Martin’s <em>Nightflyers</em> is a perfect example, combining aliens, an autonomous spacecraft, astronauts, and unexplained murder.</p> <p><em>Blindsight</em> by Peter Watts deals with the nature of consciousness as 22nd-century humanity investigates a bizarre ship and race of aliens.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Sci-Fi-Horror.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-722" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/horror-genres/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Top 10 Most Popular Horror Genres" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Sci-Fi-Horror.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Sci-Fi-Horror.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Sci-Fi-Horror-300x225.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Sci-Fi-Horror-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">9. Dark Fantasy</h2> <p>Combining fantasy elements like magic and other worlds with horror, the dark fantasy genre often takes place in different worlds and gains inspiration from myths and fairy tales. </p> <p><em>The Citadel of Fear</em> by Gertrude Barrows, for example, involves a hidden Aztec city and the dark god of that city. Then there are stories like the<em> Black Sun Rising</em> by C. S. Friedman which is set in a fantasy world that will bring an individual’s worst nightmares to life.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dark-Fantasy.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-723" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/horror-genres/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Top 10 Most Popular Horror Genres" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dark-Fantasy.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dark-Fantasy.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dark-Fantasy-300x225.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dark-Fantasy-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. Cosmic Horror</h2> <p>Cosmic horror preys on the fears of the unknown—where the evil or darkness tends to be abstract in nature. H. P. Lovecraft’s <em>The Call of Cthulhu</em> is a perfect example which looks at a mysterious creature with tentacles and dragon wings that is in one way or another, subconsciously connected to many people.</p> <p><em>Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe </em>by Thomas Ligotti is another example that reveals the horror of the human condition and the meaninglessness of the world.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cosmic-Horror.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-724" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/horror-genres/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Top 10 Most Popular Horror Genres" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cosmic-Horror.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cosmic-Horror.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cosmic-Horror-300x225.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cosmic-Horror-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h2> <p>The many genres of horror can range dramatically from the more brutal and grotesque in nature to the subtle and psychologically eerie.</p> <p>With that said, businesses, libraries, and individuals can categorize horror books by the sub-genre to better organize, find, and share relevant books with customers and friends.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Further reading:</h3> <p>See also <a href="https://isbndb.com/blog/fiction-genres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">types of fiction</a>, <a href="https://isbndb.com/blog/nonfiction-genres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">types of non-fiction</a>, and <a href="https://isbndb.com/blog/fantasy-genres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fantasy genres</a>.</p> <p>Read more about book classification and <a href="https://isbndb.com/blog/category/book-data/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book data</a>.</p> <div class='mailmunch-forms-after-post' style='display: none !important;'></div> </div> </div> </article> </div>  <div id="authorarea" class="clearfix"> <div class="authoravatar"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c2a0cc6f9fcd1049a58b06680a5dcb71?s=100&d=mm&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c2a0cc6f9fcd1049a58b06680a5dcb71?s=200&d=mm&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-100 photo' height='100' width='100' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> <div class="authorinfo"> <h3><a href="https://isbndb.com/blog/author/tyler-hilgeman/" title="Posts by Tyler Hilgeman" rel="author">Tyler Hilgeman</a></h3> <p>Tyler is a freelance editor, writer, and book lover.
