This kicks off a viewer-requested series to discover the definitive list of best horror novels from each year—ranked by the numbers, not opinion. In this episode, we count down the top three horror novels of each year of the 1960s.

In every episode of this series, we count down the top three horror novels from a specific decade, using a data-driven formula that blends:

1️⃣ Long-term sales performance – which books kept selling for decades

2️⃣ Critical acclaim – awards, nominations, and industry recognition

3️⃣ Fan ratings – averaged from Goodreads, Amazon, and Storygraph

The result? A balanced, fact-based ranking of the horror stories that truly earned their place in history.
