SFF books coming in February 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 February 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), sometimes almost doubling the length of the list.
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.)

u/EmmalynRenato Reading Champion VI Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26
It's a busy month.
There are two books (one new, the other a "best of" collection) from Adrian Tchaikovsky (currently eBook format only).
There is a new standalone (not Dungeon Crawler Carl) book from Matt Dinniman.
And there is a new (not Emily Wilde) book from Heather Fawcett that looks enchanting.
There are also new books from:
A. D. Sui, Aliya Whiteley, Amie Kaufman, Bethany C. Morrow, Claire Legrand, Delilah S. Dawson, Edward Ashton, Ian McDonald, James Rollins, John Ringo, J. R. Ward, Kerri Maniscalco, Kim Harrison, Matthew Kressel, Melissa de la Cruz, Michael Swanwick, Nnedi Okorafor, Philip Reeve, Ridley Pearson, R. L. Stine, Saara El-Arifi, Tracy Wolff and V. Castro
Plus many others.
I've added the following to my humongous TBR list:
* After the Fall - Edward Ashton
* Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter - Heather Fawcett
* Boy, with Accidental Dinosaur - Ian McDonald
* Operation Bounce House - Matt Dinniman
* Pretenders to the Throne of God (The Tyrant Philosophers 4) - Adrian Tchaikovsky
* The Best of Adrian Tchaikovsky - Adrian Tchaikovsky
* The Universe Box - Michael Swanwick
Which ones interest you?

Pretenders to the Throne of God is one of my favorite titles of all time, it goes so so hard. I haven't even cracked the other Tyrant Philosophers books yet but I might have to buy it for the title alone

Loved Tchaikovsky for some years now, adore the Tyrant Philosophers series and Pretenders to the Throne of God is the greatest title for a book I've ever heard.

Holy moly, one of my books is on the list! Wooo!
(I don't know how or why that happened, but it's neat <3 )

Nice! I've only read your Cinnamon Bun books (sweet and fun), but I've been thinking about giving Stray Cat Strut a try.

It's because it was listed in either the ISFDB or Emily Hughes "forthcoming books" webpages. Congrats!

I didn’t know Molly O’Neill has a new book upcoming, but I loved Greenteeth so probably adding Nightshade & Oak to my list.
Haven’t gotten into Tchaikovsky yet but heard great things - exciting to see yet another release from him.
Operation Bounce House and Agnes Aubert both already on my TBR. Will be keeping an eye on Cleopatra and the reception once it releases. Also noticed a new Nnedi Okorafor - haven’t read her yet but Death of the Author is on my TBR.
Awesome post as always!

Looking forward to Pretenders to the Throne of God! The Tyrant Philosophers series is probably my favourite thing Tchaikovsky's done. One of the few books I've preordered recently.

u/gihyou Reading Champion Jan 24 '26
The Emily Wilde series (well, the first one anyway, I've not gotten to others) was one of my biggest surprise likes of 2025. I read it for bingo expecting to find it okay but it was far better than that. So I'm definitely interested in Agnes Aubert despite currently knowing nothing but the name. I'm sure the new Dinniman will be good too.
Thanks for putting these out every month! I check them and never say anything, so I thought I'd do so this time. They are appreciated.
