Head below for the full list of horror‚ romantasy‚ and other SFF-crossover titles heading your way in January! Keep track of all the new SFF releases here. All title summaries are taken and/or summarized from copy provided by the publisher. Release dates are subject to change.   January 2 Rabbit Hole — Kate Brody (Soho Press) Ten years ago‚ Theodora “Teddy” Angstrom’s older sister‚ Angie‚ went missing. Her case remains unsolved. Now Teddy’s father‚ Mark‚ has killed himself. Unbeknownst to Mark’s family‚ he had been active in a Reddit community fixated on Angie‚ and Teddy can’t help but fall down the same rabbit hole. Teddy’s investigation quickly gets her in hot water with her gun-nut boyfriend‚ her long-lost half brother‚ and her colleagues at the prestigious high school where she teaches English. Further complicating matters is Teddy’s growing obsession with Mickey‚ a charming amateur sleuth who is eerily keen on helping her solve the case. Bewitched by Mickey‚ Teddy begins to lose her moral compass. As she struggles to reconcile new information with old memories‚ her erratic behavior reaches a fever pitch‚ but she won’t stop until she finds Angie—or destroys herself in the process. That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon (Mead Mishaps #1) — Kimberly Lemming (Orbit) All she wanted to do was live her life in peace—maybe get a cat‚ expand the family spice farm. Really‚ anything that didn’t involve going on an adventure where an orc might rip her face off. But they say the goddess has favorites‚ and if so‚ Cin is clearly not one of them. After Cin saves the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor‚ Fallon reveals that all he really wants to do is kill an evil witch enslaving his people. And who can blame him? But now he’s dragging Cinnamon along for the ride whether she likes it or not. On the bright side‚ at least he keeps burning off his shirt.   January 9 Sanctuary of the Shadow — Aurora Ascher (Entangled: Red Tower Books) For humans‚ Salizar’s is a place of mystery and wonder. For Harrow‚ it’s a place to hide from those who slaughtered her entire clan. A haven where she can disguise both her abilities and who she really is. Until he arrives. He has no recollection of who—or even what—he is. He only knows that he’s a monster‚ with wings and powerful abilities never seen before. But beneath the layers of rage and isolation‚ one glimpse into those inky black eyes reveals a soul that calls out to the loneliness in Harrow. And so she chooses him. She is drawn to the mystery of him‚ her unquenchable need for his kiss. And as powerful enemies align and conspire against them‚ Harrow knows their only hope is escape. Now‚ with every secret she unlocks from his past‚ a shadow from her own whispers free—luring enemies who will stop at nothing to get their final revenge on Harrow. And she’s given them the perfect weapon…because her winged beast is not what he seems. But maybe it’s time they finally learn—neither is she. Star Shapes — Ivy Grimes (Spooky House Press) Kidnapped from downtown Birmingham‚ Alabama‚ and taken to the country‚ our protagonist is pretty irked. Rather than ask for a ransom‚ her captors make her feed animals and read dusty books. She is unnerved by the growing realization that something weirder is afoot‚ and it all ties back to a book of strange constellations known simply as Star Shapes. People look to the stars to read the future‚ but sometimes the stars conceal stories from the past. The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years — Shubnum Khan (Viking) Akbar Manzil was once a grand estate off the coast of South Africa. Nearly a century later‚ it stands in ruins: an isolated boardinghouse for eclectic misfits‚ seeking solely to disappear into the mansion’s dark corridors. Except for Sana. Unlike the others‚ she is curious and questioning and finds herself irresistibly drawn to the history of the mansion: To the eerie and forgotten East Wing‚ home to a clutter of broken and abandoned objects—and to the door at its end‚ locked for decades. Behind the door is a bedroom frozen in time and a worn diary that whispers of a dark past: the long-forgotten story of a young woman named Meena‚ who died there tragically a hundred years ago. Watching Sana from the room’s shadows is a besotted‚ grieving djinn‚ an invisible spirit who has haunted the mansion since her mysterious death. Obsessed with Meena’s story‚ and unaware of the creature that follows her‚ Sana digs into the past like fingers into a wound‚ dredging up old and terrible secrets that will change the lives of everyone living and dead at Akbar Manzil. The Glass Box — J. Michael Straczynski (Blackstone) Riley Diaz was born to fight back. When she’s incarcerated under the authority of a shadowy new defense act‚ Riley is sent to one of a growing number of American Renewal Centers (ARCs)—institutions modeled after psychiatric facilities—for mandatory reeducation. Forced therapy‚ involuntary medication‚ solitary confinement‚ restricted rations‚ and more are all in the ARC program’s bag of dirty tricks designed to break down dissidents. Give in‚ and you go free. Resist‚ and…Riley declares a one-woman war against the gaslighting and manipulation in a struggle to take down the ARC program and its white-coated collaborators. Despite being isolated and resented by her fellow inmates‚ Riley eventually wins their trust‚ and forms a heartfelt‚ life-and-death bond with a mysterious patient known only as Frankenstein‚ who is as enigmatic as his namesake. Sometimes breaking an unjust system starts with one person willing to stand up—when standing is the hardest thing in the world—and saying “no.” Riley Diaz is willing to stand behind that word‚ regardless of the cost‚ in order to put her fist through the Glass Box once and for all.   January 16 The Longest Autumn — Amy Avery (Flatiron) Tirne is one of four humans rigorously selected to usher the turn of the seasons into the mortal world. Every year‚ she escorts the taciturn god Autumn between the godly and human realms. Autumn’s seasonal stay among mortals brings cooler weather‚ changing leaves‚ and the harvest of apples and gourds until Winter takes his place. This year‚ the enchanted Mirror that separates their worlds shatters after Tirne and Autumn pass through‚ trapping both of them in the human realm. As the endless autumn stretches on‚ crops begin to fail and the threat of starvation looms. Away from the magic of the gods’ home‚ Tirne suffers debilitating headaches that return with a vengeance. Worse‚ Autumn’s extended stay in the human realm turns him ever more mortal and vulnerable‚ stirring a new‚ forbidden attraction to Tirne. While the priesthood scrambles to find a way to reassemble the Mirror‚ Tirne digs into the temple’s secrets and finds an unlikely ally—or enemy—in the enigmatic sorcerer and master of poisons‚ Sidriel. Thrown into a world of mystery‚ betrayal‚ and espionage as she searches for the truth‚ might Tirne lose her morals‚ her hard-earned position‚ and the illicit spark between her and Autumn? Beautyland — Marie-Helene Bertino (Farrar‚ Straus and Giroux) At the moment when Voyager 1 is launched into space carrying its famous golden record‚ a baby of unusual perception is born to a single mother in Philadelphia. Adina Giorno is tiny and jaundiced‚ but she reaches for warmth and light. As a child‚ she recognizes that she is different: She possesses knowledge of a faraway planet. The arrival of a fax machine enables her to contact her extraterrestrial relatives‚ beings who have sent her to report on the oddities of Earthlings. For years‚ as she moves through the world and makes a life for herself among humans‚ she dispatches transmissions on the terrors and surprising joys of their existence. Then‚ at a precarious moment‚ a beloved friend urges Adina to share her messages with the world. Is there a chance she is not alone?   January 23 Gothikana — RuNyx (Bramble) An outcast her entire life‚ Corvina Clemm is left adrift after losing her mother. When she receives the admission letter from the mysterious University of Verenmore‚ she accepts it as a sign from the universe. The last thing she expects though is an old‚ secluded castle on top of a mountain riddled with secrets‚ deceit‚ and death. An enigma his entire life‚ Vad Deverell likes being a closed book but knowing exactly everything that happens in the university. A part-time professor working on his thesis‚ Vad has been around long enough to know the dangers the castle possesses. And he knows the moment his path crosses with Corvina‚ she’s dangerous to everything that he is. They shouldn’t have caught each other’s eye. They cannot be. But a chill-inducing century-old mystery forces them to collide. People have disappeared every five years over the past century‚ Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all‚ and Vad needs to keep an eye on her. And so begins a tale of the mysterious‚ the morbid‚ the macabre‚ and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.   January 30 The House of Last Resort — Christopher Golden (St. Martin’s Press) Across Italy there are many half-empty towns‚ nearly abandoned by those who migrate to the coast or to cities. The beautiful‚ crumbling hilltop town of Becchina is among them‚ but its mayor has taken drastic measures to rebuild—selling abandoned homes to anyone in the world for a single Euro‚ as long as the buyer promises to live there for at least five years. It’s a no-brainer for American couple Tommy and Kate Puglisi. Both work remotely‚ and Becchina is the home of Tommy’s grandparents‚ his closest living relatives. It feels like a romantic adventure‚ an opportunity the young couple would be crazy not to seize. But from the moment they move in‚ they both feel a shadow has fallen on them. Tommy’s grandmother is furious‚ even a little frightened‚ when she realizes which house they’ve bought. There are rooms in an annex at the back of the house that they didn’t know were there. The place makes strange noises at night‚ locked doors are suddenly open‚ and when they go to a family gathering‚ they’re certain people are whispering about them‚ and about their house‚ which one neighbor refers to as The House of Last Resort. Soon‚ they learn that the home was owned for generations by the Church‚ but the real secret‚ and the true dread‚ is unlocked when they finally learn what the priests were doing in this house for all those long years…and how many people died in the strange chapel inside. While down in the catacombs beneath Becchina…something stirs.

It’s the worst kind of will-they-won’t-they: Will Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) ever‚ ever get to just chill out and be happy together? Not if an entire world of zombies and military keeps getting in their way‚ as it seems to do in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live‚ the latest spinoff in the sprawling‚ deathless Walking Dead universe. The new series has a very dramatic description: The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world‚ built on a war against the dead… And ultimately‚ a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other‚ are they even alive — or will they find that they‚ too‚ are the Walking Dead? Will they? It’s almost like the entire Walking Dead universe has been telling us for nigh on 14 years that humans can also be monsters! The Ones Who Live adds to its cast the excellent Terry O’Quinn‚ who might be best known as Lost’s Locke. Here he is particularly enigmatic as Civic Republic Military leader Major Boyle. There is quite a lot of military action‚ as well as a lot of bloodier‚ grosser action in the form of Rick doing a lot of zombie killing. The cast also includes Pollyanna McIntosh as Jadis (always a good sign when someone’s named after Narnia’s ice queen) and a mysterious helmeted figure on which the camera lingers at the end of the trailer. They are obviously important‚ and we are obviously supposed to wonder who they are. Maybe you can find out when The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live premieres February 15th on AMC and AMC+
