I have just retired or at least semi..😅 so I have more time for reading so thanks for this. Very interested in Between two Fires. Just came upon your channel. Thanks. Greetings from Canada.

I’m 120 pages into “The Ruins” by Adam Nevill. I’m not enjoying it, think the writing style is poor and disjointed and the characters are weak. Anyone have a similar experience? Should I put it down and spend October reading something better (I am a slow reader due to work, so likely, depending on the size of the book, will only squeeze one in).

Poe was a genius, easily on par with Kafka.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Since you like fairytale retellings now, are you to going to read (or reread) the original old tales?

The Historian is so good! It’s very slow though.

Nice video good recs! Love your sweater 👻

I'm also going to gush about Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. Amazing book.

👍🏽👍🏽

Hello there hey there hey Hello hi there

Hey I'm nEw to your spooky channel

Imo the library at Mt. Char is a phenomenal book. So unique. Don't overthink it. Sit back...read it...be prepared to be blown away...and just enjoy the story. Soooo good

I need to spend more time reading my TBR stack, and less time adding to it with booktube recs. But the algorithm commands, and I must obey. I like your picks and I like your voice. I have not read Julia Armfield before but you sold it. I’m on a haunted house kick - just did the original Haunting of Hill House and I’m now on Oyeyemi’s White is for Witching.

I love the cover for your edition of The Hollow Places 😊 quite jealous

Dark Matter is a good one. Read it some years ago and loved the atmosphere.

I think the Thristlefoot house is based off of the Baba Yaga, same Slavic folklore that the Witcher takes from. I think it was even featured in the Netflix show at some point and even the games ☝🤓

Absolutely LOVED Dark Matter! Very atmospheric.

The Silent Companions sound so good! I also have Thistlefoot on my fall tbr! I really liked The Library at Mount Char!! I think you would definitely vibe with it. It's such a surreal experience!

Looks to be a well-curated TBR indeed. Hope there are a few gems in there for you. Also just found out that Between Two Fires is included for free on Audible. Love when that happens!

I loved The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires! I read it via kindle + audio at the same time and the audio was amazing. It's the only Grady Hendrix book i've read so far.

Between Two Fires is an all time favorite for me. I hope you like it and I hope you get some 5 star reads!

truly a perfectly balanced tbr! Excited for the autumn spooky reading. ❤❤

On next video can you do me a favor and use the old school yo-ho intro? That was my favorite :)

Awesome tbr!! I'm also planning to read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell as I decided to get the new Hardcover for my birthday next week.

Please keep making these. When i need a new book or some motivation i come here. Just seeing your stacks of books makes me wanna crack open another. I just finished A Clockwork Orange and was kind of disappointed with the ending. I loved the movie too much maybe. Now with my slight disappointment I'm trying to look through my shelves for something that wont

Av also been waiting a lifetime for Wytches vol.2

Your makeup is cool looking. Well done.

Thank you for the amazing video, I picked something from your list for my November TBR! Water Shall Refuse Them and Lapvona. As for the outstanding book I would say Concerning My Daughter by Kim Hye-Jin and The Hole by Hiroko Oyamada... I am a bit into Japanese and Korean Literature. -

My literature professor referred to ‘Chlorine’ as a run-of-the-mill novel, in an argument as to why a student shouldn’t use the book for their literary essay lol.

yeah thanks for the heads up on cows. i’ll definitely be avoiding that one.

Hello there hey there hey Hello hi there there

Hi. Nice reviews. I've just finished The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum and it finished me. Based on a true story, beautifully written but so unsettling. I think I'll avoid Cows lol.....

I think you recently bought We Used to Live Here, please read this book as soon as possible!! It felt like a horror movie and was so fast paced and unique!! I feel like you would love it too! I gave it 5 ⭐️’s!

Very nice reviews as always! I totally understand reading slumps, I'm in a similar situation currently. Not really a slump, but a long, slow read. I'm a fan of biographies & I'm reading Grant by Ron Chernow, which is around 1,000 pages. It's excellent, but there's so much detail that I'm reading slow to soak it in better, it's like time traveling for me. I highly recommend it if you like that type of book. I am looking forward to eventually reading Lapvona, Cackle & Water Shall Refuse Them.

I never feel bored listening to your book reviews. Thanks for being honest even when you didn't enjoy a book. btw have you ever read The Cipher by Kathe Koja? I'm currently reading it and it feels like something that'd be right up your alley.

Have you seen the movie "The Ruins"? It has some crunchy scenes 😱

Yeah, Cows sounds like something I can safely pass on without losing much.

This is such a great list! ❤👻💀😈🧟

All of these were a hit for me, bless this list !!!

That Manson book is a slog. He revealed early on what a garbage person he is. Yes to a part 2!

Hello there hey there hey Hello hi there there

Another great video on this topic. I totally agree that pre-ordering while on a ban is a bit like cheating. I've seen people do these "bans" and they make exceptions, which, in my opinion, defeats the purpose. I wish more people in the book community talked about this.

these are great recommendations. i have soo many tbrs now 😂

I love Between Two Fires 🔥🔥 Enjoy!

Blackwood’s got some really spooky stuff. May I suggest Arthur Machen’s The White People (it is a short horror story but I found it delectable). Also. If you have not been exposed to it already, I highly recommend Lilith by George MacDonald. It gives me a devilish little thrill. Currently, I am trying to find something that hits me in the way that Dead Eleven did. So hard to find those creepy slow burns. Maybe something in analogue horror? Let me know if you have any suggestions. Halloween is just around the bend. 👻

I recently listened to the audiobook of "The House of Last Resorts". As an Italian myself, I found it engaging how the author portrayed the southern Italian life of Sicily, with some passages even written in Italian. The story itself was highly predictable, but overall, it was a nice read. Of course, this is just my personal taste.

Found your channel. I'm glad I did. I've added a few books to my TBR that I didn't know about. Especially OF THE FLESH, which isn't yet listed for sale here in the US. Gonna check Waterstones and see if it's there. It has such a beautiful cover, btw. Someone elae who agreed with me regarding MAEVE FLY! I so WANTED to love that book! It was on my most anticipated 5-star read. Oh how I was so disappointed after reading. Then I would see other reviews raving about the book. I would be lying I said just fir a second, I doubted myself .... then I got myself together .... 😅 Looking forward to more videos!! Take care!

This list is so good. I added so many books to my list. I can’t wait to read these especially House of Last Resort and Hampton Heights. Thanks!!
