In awesome news, this month’s Booklist has a spotlight on horror fiction. For those not in the know, Booklist is a professional review journal produced by the American Library Association. Librarians looking for must-have titles consult journals like Booklist to build their collections. In this case, Booklist provided top 10 lists of horror fiction for both adults and teens, and a list of favorite zombie titles. I encourage you to check out their choices and see if you agree. I’d love to see what else you think they ought to have included! Unfortunately, the editor is going on a leave of absence for several months, but it might be fun to send our thoughts on to Booklist.

Congratulations to everybody who made these lists. I’d like particularly to congratulate Madeleine Roux, a first-time author who also attended my alma mater, for making the list of top zombie titles with her novel Allison Hewitt is Trapped.

Enjoy!
