Ronald Malfi’s standalone novels make up the core of his work, spanning from The Space Between (2000) to The Hive (2026). The 21 books cover a wide range of horror subgenres, from the claustrophobic mountain thriller The Ascent (2010) to the small-town dread of December Park (2014) and the grief-driven mystery of Come With Me (2021).
Each novel stands on its own, making any entry a valid starting point. Malfi’s writing has grown more polished over the years, but even his earlier titles show his ability to build dread through character and setting rather than relying solely on plot twists.
