Seattle HWA Bookshelf 2026

The Seattle chapter of the HWA has attended Crypticon (happening tomorrow in SeaTac!) since it returned as an active community.

Since then, we have published dozens of books, comics, and magazines (literally over 50 titles!). Below, you'll find a list (as complete as we can make it) of books published between May 0f 2025 and May of 2026.*

Why May? Crypticon happens on the first weekend every May, and it's our biggest event, making it a great time marker for our progress as a horror writing community.

More books are coming for the rest of 2026, so stay tuned at this space or follow us in Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/hwaseattle/ to follow our upcoming success stories!

Readers! Please consider support our authors by - visiting their websites - buying their books (through local indie booksellers!) - requesting their books be carried in local libraries - following them in social media - writing reviews of the books you love - recommending their work by word of mouth or online

Members! If you have a book that should be on this list, please let us know in the Discord or in email at hwaseattle@gmail.com.
