A Sci-Fi or Fantasy book subscription box is perfect when you have trouble deciding what to read next.
There are so many books out there, and so many of them are great.
But where do you start?
That’s where book subscription boxes can help!
You can subscribe to these boxes and receive a new book each month. What’s more, based on the type of box you chose, many of them also have extra items.
I went on the hunt on Cratejoy to find the best fantasy and sci-fi book subscription boxes for you.
Cratejoy is a platform where small-business owners offer their book boxes to you.
So, it’s also a great way to support small businesses, while you have Cratejoy to handle things in case it goes wrong, and you need your money back.
Also: don’t let the term “subscription” box steer you away from them. With many boxes, you can order them for one month (so one box).
Just be sure to read their guidelines and cancel your subscription in time (if this is necessary).
A one-time book subscription box also makes for a great gift!
Sci-Fi Book Subscription Boxes
My Sci-Fi Club
They’re called “My Sci-Fi Club,” but you can pick both a fantasy or a sci-fi book subscription box.
What do you get?
- Two hardcover books, where you can choose for sci-fi, fantasy, or a ‘surprise me’ mix.
- You can even email them and get a free eBook for more reading.
This makes for a great value of this box. But little warning: they only deliver within the US.
So if that’s not where you live? Don’t get it.
As far as reviews go, they get an average rating of 3.6/5, which isn’t too bad.
Comics Club
Love comics?
Then this is the book subscription box for you. With it, you get 5 comic books from Marvel or DC. You get both vintage and modern comics.
This business is located in the UK, and they ship worldwide!
Once you order, the subscription renews automatically, so make sure you cancel in time if you only want a certain amount of months.
Their customer rating is a 3.9/5.
Books & Treasures
While not technically a sci-fi subscription box, you can tell them what kind of genre you’d like in your box. And then they hand-pick the book for you.
This subscription box is perfect if you’re not necessarily interested in new books but instead want to do the environmental-friendly thing: used books!
In this box, you get a used book and some handmade gifts.
The items depend on the size of the box you order.
The smallest option is with a handmade bookmark and a thrifted mug with your choice of drink. You can also add an extra book and three additional items.
However, the owners of this box also have boxes without items. So then it’s just the books. This is a cheaper option, especially if you don’t necessarily wantall the extra’s. You can find these options under the “More from Books & Treasures” tab on the site.
People rate them with an average of 5/5.
The box ships at the beginning of every month, and you need to order before the 1st of the month to get the box of that month. Your subscription is always renewed on the 11th. They ship worldwide and are based in the US.
SciFi & Fantasy Book Crate
As the name says, this box has both sci-fi and fantasy books, in case you like to read both genres.
It’s run by Mysterious Galaxy, an independent bookstore specialized in Science Fiction & Fantasy.
The box also comes with bookish art, bookmarks, and other goodies.
They ship every 15th of the month, and subscriptions are automatically renewed on the 25th.
They’re based in the US, but as far as I can tell, they ship worldwide.
As of yet, they don’t have any reviews yet, but the boxes seem nice, and the company seems legit. We all gotta start somewhere.
Fantasy Book Subscription Boxes
Fantasy Monthly

For all your favorite YA Fantasy books with art prints, bookmarks, bookclub card, and a button.
They give a hardcover newly released YA Fantasy book, and independent artists create all the extra items.
They also have an online book club you can join, in case you want to discuss the book you got from them! I think that’s a pretty cool idea.
To receive the box in the month you want it: order before the 7th of that month.
Like most, they’re based in the US, and subscriptions renew automatically.
Their customers are quite satisfied, as Fantasy Monthly has an average rating of 4.1/5.
Owl Post Books
A subscription box specifically designed for YA Fantasy books.
In each box, you get 3 new YA Fantasy books or 1 new hardcover (depending on the type of box you choose).
It’s possible to subscribe month by month, or to have a longer running subscription (the longer you subscribe, the more discount you get).
Boxes ship at the beginning of each month. Order before the 15th if you want that month’s box.
They only ship within the US.
Unplugged Book Box
A box all about self-care.
A choice between YA or Adult, but not just fantasy books. So, this subscription box is a better pick if you want to broaden your horizon.
If you’re not sure: you can see the past boxes, so you can decide if it’s for you or not.
Next to a new release book, you get 5 to 8 bookish self-care or novelty products.
Ships worldwide from the US, except for Iran, Mexico, Oman, or Peru. The subscription renews automatically.
People rate them with a whopping 4.9/5.
