Dymocks Southland is a general bookshop in Cheltenham, Victoria, boasting an extensive range of genre stock. Below are listed the top 10 bestselling horror titles for December 2008.

Unusually, Horror dominated the December bestseller lists for speculative fiction in general (Fantasy titles usually sell better) with no fewer than six of the Top 10 bestselling genre titles falling into the Horror or Dark Fantasy categories. Could this be due to a general shift of interest among the genre-reading public, or should we just blame the buying power of vampire-obsessed thirteen-year-old girls? Whatever the case, 2009 promises to be an interesting year for genre enthusiasts.
Dymocks Southland also publishes a monthly SF, fantasy and horror newsletter – Dymensions - which can be subscribed to here.
