This Delicious Death by Kayla Cottingham

The Fun Read! 

What if your body craved human flesh—and science found a way to make that... socially acceptable?

This Delicious Death is a darkly funny, fast-paced horror story set in a world where a mysterious virus has turned a small percent of people into “ghouls”—humans who can only survive on synthetic human meat. Four friends—Zoey, Celeste, Val, and Jasmine—head to a desert music festival for one last carefree weekend. But when one of them goes feral and a body turns up, the party turns into a fight for survival.

Think Jennifer’s Body meets The Walking Dead—with a sapphic twist, and a murder mystery in the desert heat. It's creepy, clever, and gruesomely fun. Perfect for fans of horror with bite.

Dread Nation by Justina Ireland

The Ambitious Read! 

In an alternate Civil War America, the dead rise at Gettysburg—and suddenly, survival means learning to fight.

Jane McKeene, a Black girl trained at a combat school for elite protectors, wants more than a life serving the white upper class. But when people start disappearing and dark secrets surface, Jane uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than the zombie outbreak.

With sharp action, bold social commentary, and a heroine who won’t back down, Dread Nation is a gripping, genre-bending read that redefines the fight for freedom.
