The BEST books of 2024 (so far)

[@AlligatorSnappingTurtle]

How many of you would like a “Rare & obscure/one of a kind horror books” video?

[@Alicia-606]

Your love for these books is definitely making me want to read some of them!

[@Alicia-606]

My favorite book from this month is When Darkness Loves Us by Elizabeth Engstrom.

[@yeseniaman]

I found your channel and it lead me to look up different people reviewing horror books. Let me just say, you are probably the only one who’s videos I can watch all the way through the end 😅 thanks for sharing!

[@dennismaddox3869]

I read "The Sluts" based on your recommendation, and it was great! 'Already planning to check out more by Dennis Cooper!

[@sparkle67l]

Great recs! Looking forward to your Ronald Malfi ranking.

[@TheDemonCalcifer]

I'm so glad you read Boys in the Valley! Ive been eyeing it for a long time. Now I'm sold on it.

[@lisapoe888]

Just be beware The first half is so good then the end is so bad I was so disappointed

[@RhinoViper]

Fantastic book.

[@Qxoi90]

I might have missed one, but you said "interesting" only two times! Anda, I am very proud of you! :D

[@jakegarcia7382]

Currently reading Negative Space, book is a crazy read 😅

[@christinepeters3212]

The Boys in the Valley was truly amazing, well The Exorcist is my all time favorite book. Small town Horror....YES!!!! He went there and I appreciate his boldness and ability to seamlessly round out his new novel. Not sure if you've read All the Sinners Bleed and The Reformatory...they're life changing.

[@uponangelwings]

Anda, have you read anything by Tony Burgess? I would recommend 'The n-Body Problem' or 'People Live Still in Cashtown Corners'.

[@stephfoxeh]

i just added all these to my goodreads.. i might get put on a list lol .

[@angelwalker979]

I love Malfi too, Small town horror is on my tbr! I'm finishing up the Forgotton island by David Sodergren, reading Grey dog next. 📚📚📚❤️

[@amandalavery6282]

I haven't any of the books ...yet. they are on my TBR and I cant wait!

[@dubtastic]

What a solid list! I was happy to see that I had read most of these but that you mentioned several I hadn't. The TBR grows! If you loved Boys in the Valley, you should most definitely read Don't Let Them Get You Down by Philip Fracassi. I actually enjoyed that one even more.

[@runreaderrun]

Currently reading Small Town Horror! I didn't even read the synopsis, so I'm already surprised by the direction it's going lol

[@ivoryinterludes]

New video, hooray!

[@candaceshook5313]

Just finished Boys in the Valley, and I gave it 4.75 stars!

[@lifewithlizzie1323]

So many add to cart, thank you Amazon for next day delivery 😂

[@NicolesBookishNook]

A fantastic list!

[@erieluck75]

Boys in the Valley is a favorite of mine as well!

[@tomaszgoebiowski5278]

Ray Nayler - The Mountain in the sea, B. Cox/J. Forshaw -Black Holes (the key to undestanding the universe), Neil De Grasse Tyson - Starry Messenger. Cosmic perspectives on civilization, John Wyndham - The day of the Triffids

[@luckysiren]

That shirt tho!

[@annie1313uwu]

I have been reading TONS of Darcy Coates this year. She's such an amazing writer. Kinda YA but still awesome- her recent Where He Can't Find You is really good for a soul cleansing chills read.

[@goodmornindreamer]

Favorites of the year : Voices in The Snow by Darcy Coates (😅 i swear i'll have another book eventually to comment), Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young, Dear Medusa by Olivia A. Cole, and The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young

[@romyespy6586]

Love your reviews!

[@sethball2475]

Great round-up of books - thanks for the video. My 5 star Horror Reads, so far this year: Revelator, by Daryl Gregory The Lonely Lands, by Ramsey Campbell The Sorrows of Satan, by Marie Corelli (an oldie, 1895!) Other 5 star reads for me this year, that I think are worth mentioning to a Horror fan: Prairie Edge, by Conor Kerr The Magicians, by J. B. Priestley (from 1954) Honourable Mention - some pure 1980s Horror: Night Stone, by Rick Hautala

[@noahreichert5943]

My two standouts for this year have been 'Satan Burger' by Mellick, and 'Norstrilia' by Cordwainer Smith.

[@Rumplesink]

My favorite book I read this year was Nick Cave's 'And The Ass Saw The Angel', as it is every year

[@Genderfluidclown]

Not sure if youve talked about this one yet but I'd love to see a video on Augustina Bazterrica, Tender is the Flesh and Nineteen Claws and a Blackbird are some of my favorite horror books. Also editing to add in the book Brother by Ania Ahlborn, i think its a sightly more tame variation of your general brand of fucked up, very very good.

[@lucypher5200]

Enjoying the channel. Thank you. Keep it up.

[@lisafourroux3690]

I'm not sure if you have read these books, but if you haven't you should check them out. They have been my favorite reads this year. I didn't see them on your goodreads (except for the last one) Penance by Kanae Minato/Philip Gabriel In The Tall Trees by Angel N. Van Atta Brother by Ania Ahlborn Come Closer by Sara Gran and Tender is the flesh. I know you said that you really liked this book. So did I, it was so good

[@Reading975]

A new Anda Kent video 😁 Also I have a question: I emailed you on Goodreads but you didn’t reply. Was just wondering if you received it or not thanks ❤

[@itsmattiebeck]

I died too, but they haven’t buried me yet by Ross Jeffery is a must! It hit me right in the gut. It’s grief horror book so if you like that subgenre of horror, I highly suggest it!

[@richardives4811]

I’m going to start reading Ronald Malfi now

[@grey_wulf]

Richard Laymon definitely write some very creepy books. You should read more of his work if you like harrowing thrillers/horror.

[@superkitten7560]

The best book I've read so far this year is Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky (not horror). I am now obsessed and want to read everything by him.

[@Micheeelleeee]

I really liked The Necrophiliac. I listened to The Cement Garden on audio and…well I think I should have read it instead. I didn’t really enjoy it and I think that was due to the narration. 😟 Looking forward to reading Boys in the Valley!

[@corychristy156]

Are you still filming videos

[@Brizee4422]

Extreme horror: No One Rides For Free by Judith Sonnet my god that was hard to read.

[@alimarpelolargo]

Hola guapa que opinas de la Biblia

[@skisjsnan]

Wow so much helpfull information in this video, I personally don't like to promote anything in the comments but I simply have to share this book that I found called Money Grins the greatest book if you want to be successful
