The Best Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, Romance, and Graphic Novels of 2022

We had so much fun putting this list together. This year's list is filled with ghostwriters and throuples, explorations of sexuality and identity and grief, some sexy hijinx, plenty of gross monsters, the magic of etymology, women just trying to survive, giant mechs and religion, "domesticity with a side of bones, blood, and body-swapping," Satanic Panic, and so much more. The world may not be at its best right now, but if you’re looking to escape into some great science fiction, fantasy, romance, horror, or graphic novels, then the 15 books below may be just the ticket. Don’t forget to put your phone on Do Not Disturb mode before digging in! You’re not going to want any interruptions.
