There are many popular horror and supernatural book series with their own wide readership, many of whom are also likely to be shoppers at your own store too.

An entire new generation of fans are sinking their teeth into Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, following the successful launch of AMC’s new show. PRH also publishes other venerable horror classics both new and old, including modern fascinations such as American Psycho and The Haunting of Hill House along with all-timers such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Penguin also has a long-running publishing relationship with Stephen King, who is a publishing force all unto himself.

Below is a listing of many of our current best-selling prose works in the realm of horror and the supernatural.
