Here are some of the best novellas I read in 2023. While I am on the hunt for books on my shelf I have not read yet, I thought novellas would be a good bet. Turns out, I’ve nearly read them all! Not a mystery as to why; they are great and short easy reads. Looking for something to read in an afternoon? Here we are.
In the meantime, be sure to check out the new amusement park horror, Carni by R. Saint Claire! https://amzn.to/3sSt6ch as mentioned!
In horror literature, novellas are perfect additions to any collection. Their short and digestible length make them perfect for one sitting, giving readers instant immersion into chilling narratives. Novellas serve as a nuanced introduction to an author’s style, allowing enthusiasts to traverse the macabre landscapes of renowned talents without having to invest time or money into a whole novel. Shorter work used to be more popular in previous centuries, and horror novellas emerge once again as new treasures, with a new-found literary sophistication, in my opinion, and offering enthusiasts a swift yet profound journey into the realms of dread.
