SFF books coming in June 2026
SFF here means all speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history, magical realism etc).
The following SFF books will be published in the U.S. in June 2026. Other countries may differ.
If you know of others, please add them as comments below. If I've made any mistakes, just let me know, and I'll fix them up.
The published book formats are included with each entry. Some of this information is obtained from the isfdb website which lists one format type for each entry but mostly omits ebook entries. If it's a new hardcover and/or trade paperback book, it's very likely that an ebook is also coming out at the same time.
If you find these posts useful, I suggest revisiting about a week into the month in question. By that time, books from other sources (who compile their lists later than I do), will have been added (and tagged).
If you are using the Chrome browser, you might find the Goodreads Right Click extension useful, to find out more information on books that you are interested in.
If you are using the Firefox browser, you can use the ContextSearch-web-ext extension and add the Goodreads template as the search engine. See also the Github source directory plus a snapshot of the extension with the Goodreads search engine. (Many thanks u/Robati.)
If you use old Reddit via the Chrome or Firefox desktop browsers, then there is also a small script (that can be installed with the Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey extension), that will replace book titles in this post, with Goodreads links. See also the script folder directory and the overall README for more details. (Many thanks u/RheingoldRiver.)
