Let’s be honest: it’s been a minute since a truly great horror novel has staked its claim so unabashedly and confidently. Enter A Cosmology of Monsters. A labor of love for Alabama author Shaun Hamill, his first novel has pumped some much-needed new life into horror; effortlessly folding in fantasy elements while also not being afraid of leaning heavily into real-life horror themes scarier than any ghost. Hamill is helping usher in a new era of novelists who grew up on the works of Stephen King, Anne Rice, or H.P. Lovecraft, but also want to challenge the genre’s boundaries with what horror can say and how it’s said. Owning its horror influences proudly, there is a meta quality to Cosmology that sets it apart.
