Alien Day 2026: 10 Terrifying Novels You Need to Read
Posted on April 24, 2026

It's that time of year again. I'm of course referring to Alien Day 2026, a monumental occasion in the science fiction/horror community (unless it's just me, in which case I will celebrate enough for everyone). The Alien franchise has historically had a rather uneven track record when it comes to tie-in media (and movies, if we're being honest), but one place it's really shined is novels. This year, we've dug up enough Alien books to hold you over until the next season of Alien: Earth. Don't forget to also check out our favorite Alien comics.
For more great books (Alien related or otherwise), make sure to check out the offerings of your local branch as well as the Hoopla and Libby apps.
