Grab Your Broomsticks! 66 Enchanting New Witchy Books

Posted by Sharon on September 1, 2025


With Halloween reading season fast approaching, now is a good time to queue up books on affiliated topics. Today’s selection is a stone-cold classic: witches!
 
We've ventured into the stacks to pull out this collection of magical and witchy new books for fall reading. All of the titles collected here have already been published this year or are just around the corner.
 
Today’s collection has plenty of straight-up fantasy and horror on offer, as you might expect. But witches don’t like to be hemmed in, so you’ll find several hybrid and cross-genre stories: historical fiction, mythological retellings, supernatural crime fiction, queer romance, cozies, World War II stories, Appalachian detective mysteries, and the occasional YA verse novel steeped in Caribbean folklore.
 
Also look for acclaimed author Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Mexican Gothic) with a new story of multigenerational magic in The Bewitching. Fans of the fabulous Naomi Novik will want to check out her  latest novella, The Summer War, concerning an errant curse and a remorseful young witch.
