The Woman in Black!

literally blessed with discovering your channel, you seem like a true horror fan and appreciate a good story which I admire and also look forward to in my books as well, 🖤HIGHLY recommend The Patient by jasper dewitt………. Truly disturbing and unsettling. (but a Great story) hope you can maybe enjoy <3

Love this rating, like the tiers and how you can move the book covers 😆 You inspire me to read more books!

Hi Peyton, I am newly finding your channel and working through the backlog. I want you to know I’m in exactly the same career position. I’ve worked almost 9 years at the same job, the only thing I’ve done after college, and I feel stuck and burned out too. I also want a change but have no idea what to change to. I tend to get hyper fixated on things so it’s hard to trust my gut when I feel the need to make a change - is it something I’m just fixated on, or is it my intuition directing me? You are not alone!! I’m so glad you shared that struggle because it made me feel like I’m not alone here!

A book called I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid, you might like! It stuck with me! Has anyone on here read it?

this was such a fun video, and i love that you ordered the books within the tiers too!!

Thank you for putting this together, I got so many interesting recs from this! Also Robin Hobb mention!! I haven't seen her work on booktube much (maybe I haven't found the right channels) but I picked up her books for the first time this year and she quickly became one of my favorites (Nighteyes is a character of all time...)

You should read The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon

WHAT ???? 95?'??? literally my jaw dropped when I heard this. How is this posible I really need to know NOW ? my respects

I added all of these to my list 🖤

I Saw the TV Glow was by far my favorite movie of the year. I'm not sure if it would classify more as a psychological movie or what, but it's definitely dark and liminal and filled with existential dread.

Love your hair colour ❤ do you do it yourself? Can your share what colour you use? 🥺👉👈

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this! Great idea for a video. I'm a little alarmed that KZbin is banning content makers from talking about climate change--did I hear that right? Hopefully this is an attempt to tamp down climate denial and misinformation (and not the reverse).

🔥

This was perfect, ty so much for the recs. I'm saving some of these to my tbr ❤

Oh Eathlings sounds so good, surprising how the story doesnt match how cute the cover is

OMG when you pulled out hell house i literally yelped. i LOVED that book so much!!!! i hardly see anyone talk about it and it made me so happy when you recommended it. it was so amazing!!!

AN HOUR 👀👀👀 🍿🍿🍿🍿

Love your reviews!

Aw, I loved Finders Keepers. 😂 Of course, I read it first for some reason I don't remember. Really enjoying your videos!

I don’t like this video. The tier list is too big and the pretty lady too small.

Love this video!! Love the horror movie addition to your channel!

You are my favorite booktube channel and I have consumed A LOT of booktube 😅 for many years. Thank youuuuu!!

Also like how you put the individual categories in order as well. Most people I watch don’t do that

Love this!

The most disturbing book I've read was Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn. It's just the worst thing ever. I read Penpal and thought it was predictable and mid. I read Tender is the Flesh and it's fantastic but I didn't find it scary or disturbing much, just mildly concerning. I read The Troop and found it over the top and absurd. But Sharp Objects made me feel sick, it made my skin itch. It put off me books for awhile, not even kidding.

Great video, we have similar tastes in horror & weird fiction! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos

I always enjoy Peyton's videos, and I really trust her book recs! I'm working on the Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay. It's hilarious, and I love the pov of a serial killer. But I definitely am noting her recs for when I finish my series.

I love your videos, so many good book recommendations. Also, I loved your horror movies review of 2024 and have already watched a couple on Shutter.

I need someone who has read Penpal to debrief with me. Am traumatized 😱

That whiplash transition from Cujo to Happy Place took me tf out 😂

You've quickly become my favorite book channel. I love your taste in horror, especially. This video was fun. I saw you're currently reading Bloom on goodreads. I just got to the halfway point and WHAT'S IN THE ROOOOOM 🫠

I dont care about booktubers, its ike a job and they read for the sakes of content and make money... but i like you!

Watching your videos brings me so much joy 🥹

I absolutely love your contagious enthusiasm 💜

I found both Butcher & Blackbird and An Education In Malaice boring and just blah writing overall. Dealing with serial killers of serial killers and vampires, I should not be bored and yet I was struggling with the will to continue either story.

I love Richard Matheson's work. His short stories are fantastic. One of the best ones is called "Born of Man and Woman". Shudder-worthy! Totally agree about The Road. I really think it's the scariest book I've ever read. The film is great, too. BLEAK. RIP Mr McCarthy. I love Pet Sematary! Darling...ack! It and The Shining (both gave me nightmares and I had to take a break from It) are also wonderfully terrifying. Since you mentioned your love of post-apocalyptica, see the BBC film Threads. DAMN. Traumatizing isn't the word. Also, Heredity had me turning on the lights as soon as it got dark for daaaays. And if you like older films, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? is another great one, although the film is so disturbing I've only seen it once. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford at their creepiest. Never again! Mary and Naomi's Room sound great! Thanks for the list!

Girl, where have you been all of my lofe??? I am here for the list!

I had a similar year to you in 2024. I think I need to read The Wedding People ❤

So,so GLAD I found your channel. You give such great recommendations and love you include short reads. Us with ADHD appreciate it.

Thanks for you suggestions. I have read a couple of them and look forward to reading a few that you mentioned. Two of my all time little known favorites are Maynard’s House by Herman Raucher and Summer of Night by Dan Simmons.

I love your horror content 🖤 it is 🤌 chefs kiss.

Worst book of the year for me was Looking Glass Sound. Huuuge let down.

That's funny, I also listened to Hell House while traveling to Tennessee last year. If you liked it, you may also like Burnt Offerings. Its a similair story and the film adaptation is actually good. I liked Outer Dark better than The Road. I've tried to with Blood Meridian several times and had to nope out. McCarthy really brings it. 😂😂
