Caroline Kepnes has made regular appearances in horror anthologies since 2022. Her contributions include stories in Dark Stars: New Tales of Darkest Horror, the Dark Matter Presents Human Monsters collection, the follow-up Human Monsters, and The Twisted Women’s Book Club (2025). These anthologies feature her work alongside other horror and thriller writers.
The anthology appearances show a side of Kepnes that her You readers might not expect. While the Joe Goldberg books have dark elements, these are straight horror stories written for collections that lean heavily into the genre. They are a good pick for fans who want to see Kepnes working in a different mode, free from the constraints of her longer series.
