His books are often darker and unexpected glimpses of family life. The Last Family in England retells Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1 with the protagonists as dogs.

Shadow Forest, his children's book, is a fantasy that begins with the protagonists' parents' traumatic death. In 2007, it received the Nestlé Children's Book Prize. In 2008, he brought it with the sequel, Runaway Troll.
The Radleys, Haig's vampire book, was released in 2011. He released The Humans in 2013. It's the tale of an alien whose work in mathematics undermines the planet's stability, while simultaneously dealing with the challenges of home life that accompanies his work.
Haig wrote How to Stop Time, a book about a man who appears to be 40 but has actually lived for more than four decades and has encountered Shakespeare, Captain Cook, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. In an interview with The Guardian, Haig said that StudioCanal films had optioned the book, and that Benedict Cumberbatch had "lined up to star" in the film version. The Books Are My Bag Readers' Awards in 2016 and How to Stop Time were nominated in 2017. He wrote lyrics for English singer and songwriter Andy Burrows' debut album in August 2018, the title of which was taken from Haig's book Reasons to Stay Alive.
Matt Haig's book The Midnight Library in 2020 was published about a young woman named Nora Seed who is dissatisfied with her choices in life. During the night, she tries to murder herself but instead finds herself in Mrs. Elm's library. With millions of books stuffed with tales of her life if she had made some decisions differently, the library would be a balance between life and death. She then sets out to find the life in which she has the most interest. It was shortlisted for the 2021 British Book Awards "Fiction book of the Year" category. In ten episodes on BBC Radio 4 in December 2020, the Midnight Library was adapted for radio and broadcast.
