One of our most anticipated books of the year, Paul Tremblay’s latest, Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep, is all set to publish this coming June 30th through Bloomsbury. Taking aim at contemporary AI anxieties and the growing influence of technology giants, the book spins a surreal, darkly satirical and terrifying work of speculative fiction about technological overreach and human fragility that feels all too plausible in the not-too-distant future.

The Horror Section has announced a nationwide theatrical release for Stiletto, a new slasher feature led by actress and producer Gigi Gustin. The film is scheduled to open in theaters across the United States on October 30, 2026, positioning its release for this Halloween’s moviegoing season. Gustin co-wrote the screenplay with director Samuel Gonzalez Jr., whose previous credits include The Plastic Men and The Retaliators.

It would be an understatement to say that the first half of 2026 has been a spectacular celebration of genre entertainment and art. You only have to look at the box office to see how horror is dominating the cultural conversation.
