BOOKSHELF TOUR // More Middle Grade Horror!

[@spinstercatlady]

Mary Downing Hahn and Betty Ren Wright were two of my favs as a kid. Pretty sure they're a big part of why I'm so in love with Victorian gothic stories today!

[@brittlizzzzzz]

When I was in 5th grade we had to read a book in a group of a few kids then put on a play about the book. Wait Til Helen Comes was the book my group had and we had so much fun making our little play. Still love that book!

From 1985 to 2006 I worked as the librarian in a small town!! I love horror and science fiction so I made sure I bought plenty for those and other genres!! The Goosebumps, Animorphs, Fear Street and ya horror/ thriller paperbacks were very popular! I also bought two other series Strange Matter and The Bug Files(YA) horror!! Don't know if you ever heard of them! I loved my job but too many Christian fundamentalists raised hell so to speak even though the library had a large Christian fiction section! When I visited the library 3 years ago the current librarians got rid of all the adult, YA and middle school horror books!! Several people said that the library doesn't order new books monthly like I used to do! Some people just don't get it!!!

[@smileytonya]

I love the personal stories that come with your bookshelf tours! Keep 'em coming Creep!

[@NakiasHideaway]

I just love your bookshelf tours. So cozy. The music, lighting, everything. And the covers are the best. Just save me a seat in the MG horror section. 😁

[@rosaliebahe]

Just bought and read AutumnCrow. Loved it. Pumpkin Light was my favorite - I want to see a Studio Ghibli interpretation of that one. It was colorful, fantastical, romantic, spooky... also great bookshelf tour. I have to watch at least twice so I can write down all the books I want to read. I'm a librarian and can't keep up with you! It's amazing how much you know about the genre. And three cheers for Paul Zindel!

[@tatumbyers]

Love these tours! ☺️🖤 Thanks for another wicked vid!

[@alyssa4789]

You have the most interesting sets of novelty items and knickknacks. I'm not much for those because I don't have the space to display or store them properly but seeing yours makes me want to collect some, too. I've started reading middle grade horror books because of you (your collection includes a lot of titles and covers that're really eyecatching). They're such absolute fun, just the perfect length for the free time and attention span I have.

[@ElizabethSagewood]

Oh my god, what a flashback when you showed the covers of The Scariest Stories You've Ever Heard books.....I'd totally forgotten about them!!! This was great to put on in the background while I was working. I have a huge soft spot for middle grade.

[@lorienlawrence5629]

Yay! Thank you for The Stitchers shout out! And I'm forever jealous of your retro collection!

[@RichardFarley1976]

Great video and collection Cameron. Thanks for sharing and all the hard work in this video as always.

[@halko1802]

Love your bookshelf tours! #goals 🎃📚

[@Sherk3107]

Hey Cameron! Of course I stay here and look at some books with you! :)

[@cheshirecat5033]

As always so very entertaining. This cat is as impressed as ever by the very excellent way you present your books. Such a knowledgeable biped. All the little stories that comes with your books makes it so very genuine as opposed to many other book tubers who seem to have an affinity for just relating titles endlessly, "and then I have... and then I have... and then I have" But I have mentioned that before and as a cat I usually fall asleep at that and wonder if they even care anymore. You are smarter and know your authors and series so well. A clear paws up from this cat!

[@Benjamin4242]

These bookshelf tours are great! I love the artwork on the old Apple Paperbacks. Cool to see that you have some Bruce Coville books too. My Teacher is an Alien was a childhood favorite of mine (I see another commenter has also mentioned it). Sadly, I don't know what happened to my copy. Maybe it will turn up again one day.

[@udryx]

That excerpt of Rats you read left me jaw dropped in the best way possible. You can't convince me that didn't directly result in some awesome horror content creators.

[@michaelcarnelian]

The Witch of Blackbird Pond is an old sentimental favourite of mine. I had no idea that there was a novelization of Paranorman, so I guess I need to find that.

[@spo0kyxspice]

Loving the book tour, adding to many stories to my TBR haha. Great vid 😁

[@Tata-ly4md]

This is amazing! Im now 34 but I still love love to read Middle Grade horror books especially Anthologies! your part 1 I really enjoyed a lot. oh by the way, I just ordered your Books today from Amazon as I live here in the UK. Im so excited to read them this coming Holloween! Hope you can write more books in the future. Thank you for this kind of videos Cameron! xx

[@HarpiesintheTrees]

I see you have In A Dark Dark Room 😍😍😍that was my gateway to spooky!! Oh I def had Wait til Helen comes, man I haven't thought about that book in ages. Disney had this moment were they were pretty dark, like with Return to Oz and stuff! I wonder who was in charge then? Awesome books as always!

[@j.n.cahill1086]

Agree about A Monster Calls! I just got HooDoo from the library so good to know. I loved Eerie Indiana but didn't realize they had books--been thinking of trying to find that show again. Actually reading Wait Til Helen Comes now. Can't wait for part 3!

[@august3777]

Nice collection. I really liked that all black book

[@josecisneros8571]

Love your videos. Always looking foward to watch them when you upload

[@SlimeAndSlashers]

I finally finished this video! Been watching it in bits and pieces as I've been out of town so much and been pausing it a lot to add books to my wish list! I added SO MANY books after watching this video. Love the So Weird book! That was a favorite show of mine growing up. I'm definitely going to order Rats and Frenzy which both sound incredible. Haha, who am I kidding!? I'm gonna buy a ton more than just those. Great video, Creep! Thanks for making this tour video for us 🎉👻

[@Monsterblood]

Awesome collection like always! I recently read My Teacher is an Alien by Bruce Coville and I was surprised by how good it was. And the Witch of Blackbird Pond!!! I absolutely LOVE that book and hardly ever see anyone mention it! Not at all horror or "scary" but it's a great read!

[@brittneygroce4421]

So happy to see the Eerie Indiana books. Still my favorite show ever.

[@ricktimus73]

I had just finished eating when you read the excerpt from the Rats book. Made me feel totally queasy not going to lie 😂 But oh my god, Disney. That is truly hardcore. And the thing that struck me the most was that from the look of things that's only like 15-20 pages in? Jesus.

[@BookBlather]

Great tour! So many fun-looking middle grade books! Can’t believe how graphic Rats is 😳. I’m going to check a few of these out… especially that Last Apprentice. Thanks!

[@troytradup]

There was a time when I so wanted to be Paul Zindel. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, a series of gory novels for middle-schoolers ... now that's a career!

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

An awesome middle grade collection as always and some great iconic horror reads. This was an enjoyable video as always Cam. I love the talking eye SO cool and the cover of Monsterland looks really nice and creepy as does Lifeblood!. The cabinet of curiosities sounds really interesting I may have to check it out.

[@JamieReads_1]

Have some many books to put on my tbr now. Awesome 😊📚

[@snood4743]

I found an ARC of The Call in a Goodwill. I’m not super well-read in YA, but I was surprised at how dark and full of body horror it was.

[@lanyia333]

Hey Creep, thanks for sharing your awesome collection. The rat book reminds me of the book series by James Herbert about rats that is also pretty gruesome.

[@kikko]

Another awesome library tour! Some of my comments are going to intersect between this video and the previous one. I read the first 8 Last Apprentice books… love that series!! Really fun stuff and spooky to boot! I loved the Eyeballs series. Never read Eyeballs for a Midnight Snack but the first two are super fun, even though the first two aren’t horror. Eyeballs for Breakfast and Eyeballs for Lunch. The Riverman trilogy looks super interesting. You gotta pick up the second one, The Whisper and the last one, The Storyteller. Already picked up 2 from your collection: Witch Doll and the Wikkeling. Both look suitably creepy for October! Keep up the great content, Cameron. I love middle grade horror and need to get back to reading more of them! Currently reading through December Park by Ronald Malfi and definitely reading some MG horror next month! Btw, I have fond memories of the Witch of Blackbird Pond because in college I played Judge Talbot in a play. Awesome times.

[@MatthewWeekley]

About to start your book after I finish up the new one from CV Hunt. (Keeping it local for the month)

[@chrisdeal4433]

As an aspiring writer myself it would be awesome for you to do a writing video. Your routine, what software you write on. Stuff like that.

[@MrWackypackages]

brb adding books to my ebay wishlist even tho I have a crap ton of books on my shelf I still need to read 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@horror-sickness]

Thank you so much for taking the time to show all these cool books. We do love some unexpected Disney gore and people being torn apart by rats hahahaha I also saw some racist books they published many years ago that now deny LOL Cameron: Once you start buying Funkos you can't stop ME: 👀 not sure what you mean

[@stanbrown32]

Love to see your collection!

[@ABFrank.]

That darkside lifeblood looked amazing 😍

[@jeremyfee]

Another great video and tour! I wish I still had the books from my childhood. BTW I plan to read Autumncrow in October.

[@22Tesla]

"The Bone Collector" *Holds up a book titled The Death Collector* That aside, loved that book, read it in middle school. Still have it.

[@caseybaughman1894]

Hey Cameron!! I just found your channel and I am super impressed with your library also a lot jealous…I was wondering if you could help me though…when I was in middle school there was this book I got from the library repeatedly I loved it, but can’t for the life of me remember the title…it was about this group of kids who ended up being stuck in a cave with vampire worms? Sorry that’s about my only memory of any detail but if you or anyone could point me in the right direction I would be forever grateful!!

[@LymanBN]

Awesome collection

[@SomeGuy-xl5uo]

Awesome collection. I have a question about your autumn crow high series. Is it going to be a long series that you plan on writing indefinitely like fear street?, or do you have somewhat of an end in mind.? It sounds awesome and if it’s a long series I’ll gladly read it all

[@miriamfalk7139]

I also liked Hoodoo. You may enjoy Root Magic by Eden Royce. Similar vibe.

[@murdock162002]

Oh man.. 13 Ghosts.. I had that book and idk whatever happened to it. I think I got it along with a goosebumps package from scholastic. Ah memories.

[@Vice.K]

I'm excited for episode 3

[@winxter6103]

I love your books I am a 5th grader who also loves spooky books

[@d.christophertatum2936]

Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods is great!

[@spookshelves9834]

That rats book would have given me some gnarly nightmares if i had found it as a kid at a garage sale or something

[@sylvanyoung]

Hey Mr Creep . Cool collection

[@ShaunStevensonBooks]

Did you ever read the Darkside books by Tom Becker?? They are so good!! There are three more after those two that were released only in the UK!

[@AquilaLorelei]

I HAD THOSE UNIVERSAL MONSTERS BOOKS AS A KID INSTANT REGRET HAVING GOTTEN RID OF THEM! The Joy of Spooking led me to a horror-adjacent mystery series named "Theodosia". I have also noted Jahnna N. Malcom's Scared Stiff, zombie paranoia forever...

[@sarahmoviereviewer4109]

0:01 were did you find your shirt?

[@takashikagami7830]

Cameron when will you upload Q and A video beacause i want to know how much books you have and how long have you been collecting those books... thank you

[@jonathanjernigan8075]

Hey Cameron, to let you know the sequel to the book: The Stitchers is out. Its called The Collectors book 2 in the Fright Watch series. And another book you might want to look up that came out recently, is called: Mine by Delilah S Dawson. You will love the cover of the book: Mine. It's a creepy cover. Stay Creepy, see ya in your next video.

[@AquilaLorelei]

I am still only at about minute 12 so I don't know if you have ever heard of the Joy of Spooking trilogy by P. J. Bracegirdle? I mean, things like The Little Witch and Gus the Ghost, besides.

[@ronaldokatwaroo]

Omg I can't believe that you have a copy of the jumbies in your library! That made me so proud to be a Trinidadian 😁

[@EuwijkLevi]

im wondering how many of the books have you read in your collection?

[@NicolasCurcioWriter]

The RATS book was unhinged!!!

[@AquilaLorelei]

There was a scene in a Lloyd Alexander book in the "Kids" section that compared slit neck to a red ribbon and I literally CALLED the library to see if they shouldn't be moved, maybe? I don't DO that, but SERIOUSLY! If I can dredge up the passage, I will post it, see what you think...

[@edlewisnoctreviews]

I used to Strange Stories of the Supernatural and I think I had How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found as a kid. Unbelievable that Disney would publisg such gory books.

[@gourinandana6381]

Can you recommend me some Horror books.... I am 12 years old....

[@nicolesmith2297]

I have a recommendation but it's also kind of asking for help I read this book when I was in school all I remember about it it had a rat on the cover and it had fangs in the title or maybe fangs was all the title was I can't remember who the author was and I have a hard time finding it when I try to Google it I managed to find some information about it like a year or two ago but I didn't save the web page so now I can't find anything I don't remember much about it except there was this kid I think it was a girl and she was like the weird one in town everyone even some of the adults weren't too crazy about her she was the town outcast and there were a lot of crazy creepy things happening and I don't really want to spoil anything but it wasn't until I was older that I realized that the book is basically a retelling of the Japanese fable the boy who drew cats anyone who knows anything about this book maybe where I can get a copy it would be much appreciated

[@Bucky749]

Brutus a novel by Ron fuller Welch is novel you might like it’s about a man eating lion in the smoky mountains and his human helper . You might want get from the author since he will autograph it for you if you by it from him

[@rickydep]

I totally appreciate your recommendations. You have the collection. I have to say, you are incredibly attractive. Whatever you say, I listen…

[@RakiOsrez]

Is there a movie based on Rats? I feel like there’s a movie where rats also start attacking humans.

[@LiteraryStoner]

Hey creep :)

[@celestianforce]

Try this scifi book: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGalepKEos6Lprs

[@brendacorrea9167]

I've got a question. Is this like a Ithiculo movie like a form of H.P Love Craft?

[@brendacorrea9167]

I've got another question. Have you ever read a big book of ghost stories of Chicago Il.?

[@brendacorrea9167]

Small world! Mines is Haunted Hotels.

[@brendacorrea9167]

Book sorry. Wrong word.
