SHOPPING IN A HAUNTED BOOKSTORE?! | (Vlog & Book Haul)

[@benjamincaldona4290]

I like the old book covers. There is aesthetic in them that speaks.

[@emilywhitfield2780]

I do too! Tor and Leisure had the best horror cover art! Zebra was too cheesy!! Lol

[@charorovira4027]

Please don't feel guilty for spending money you have in something you love! That was a great haul and I loved the way a book haul turned into horror blog very quickly ...

[@heatherk7244]

Time to spill my guts out in my nostalgic mood lol I use to be very big into booktube 8-9 years ago and you were one my absolute favs! When I got to the end of high school/early 20s I fell out of my strong love of reading and booktube. Work, life and, never enough time all the normal excuses. These past 6ish months i've been rekindling that what I thought was a long lost love with the help my collection of Stephen King I never stopped buying (currently reading It for the first time!) Out of the blue the other day I thought of you and had to come looking and I can't describe how happy I was to see you still making videos, and seeing i'm not the only one who drives around with a skeleton in the back of their car lmao So I just wanted to say thanks for being a constant for me from 15 years old to my current 25 even if I trailed off a little lol You even made a native Michigander consider going to Ohio to check out these stores and that's a hard sell lmao

[@LibraryMacabre]

Oh my gosh, thank you for your comment! It made me tear up a bit that someone who watched my videos at the very beginning (I still can’t believe I’ve been doing this for over 10 years!) would remember me and come looking. That’s so awesome! I’m glad you are rekindling your love of reading. I hope you keep discovering great spooky books. 📚👻

[@helencheckley7536]

Don’t feel guilty . There will always be books to buy . My husband thinks it’s a library he lives in now with all my books every on shelfs in every room of my house lol great books you have found .enjoy

[@kristyravens8594]

A basement in a second hand bookstore has a skeleton mannequin in its horror section as a little bit of fun. The owner brought it at a yard sale for $10. It's constantly falling over and frightening the customers, "damn, ghost" the owner mutters. Meanwhile the ghost is sitting in the corner reading an old beaten up book, "hey, don't look at me. You're the one who brought a cursed skeleton into the shop."

[@amadexmilby7309]

Bookstores like this are great. I remember when I was a little kid and went into my first used bookstore after going to the doctors office and got an Anamorph's book.

[@TheBookkeepersCottage]

This video felt like such a fun little escape. Thank you so much for taking us with you on your bookish adventures! I feel inspired to go bookstore hopping now lol 📚📚📚🏃🏻‍♀️

[@cknisley85]

Roundabout books is amazing. The upstairs definitely has some creepy vibes going on.

[@MarinaAndEmma]

I loved going down into the basement at Browse Awhile Books. I was overwhelmed by the awesomeness down there 😊

[@tatumbyers]

Where I live, the horror sections of bookstores are really small, if they have one at all… So, I look in the mystery/thriller sections and usually find some horror gems there. Great advice! Awesome finds! I love this vid! Thank you for another great one!

[@LibraryMacabre]

I’m glad the mystery section trick works for you too!

[@vintagehorrorlibrary]

@@LibraryMacabre there is never a horror section and I even look in the mystery section and there's nothing! I might have to shop online but I am in Australia do I have no clue as to where to shop... :((((

[@earldizon8532]

I'm always jealous when I see people shop at used bookstores and find Christopher Pike novels. I go to lots of bookstores here in Portland and never find them. I did see your book displayed at a new all-year Halloween-themed bookstore called Books Around the Corner in Gresham, Oregon.

[@ninaw3748]

Wooooow, so many great horror books in that store! (around 03:30)

[@ricktimus73]

Love these jaunts outside of the library! The haunted basement in that bookstore reminded me so much of a used book store I go to over here, where they have the best stuff in the back, right near the darkened room full of mannequins and overturned shopping carts. It's staffed by volunteers, although you hardly ever see them until it's time to actually pay (they are probably the mannequins, to be honest).

[@PlaguedbyVisions]

I want to shop at a haunted bookstore! That sounds so cool. 🥺 And so much variety, and so many amazing horror gems in the shelves! The bookstores near me are only haunted by King and Koontz titles taking up 99% of the horror sections. 😫 I’ve been collecting Leisure paperbacks lately, too! Specifically I’m hunting down all their Ketchum titles. I, too, love how uniform and compact they look.

[@Terminate1101]

My bookstore don’t even have King or Koontz, lucky duck.

[@vivoyeur]

Cameron you aren't alone. I always feel guilty about spending. I have to say pretty much the same words you do. I guss it just means that we are such financially responsible people, that even when we spend responsibly, no matter what, it still feels like we're being irresponsible because we're so darn responsible. 🙂😩 Did this make sense? I don't know. Hey! your buys are awesome!! I've seen a few of those books. That one book you stopped at (haunted bookstore), "Deadly Friend," I've seen it before and wish I had bought it. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thanks for taking us shopping with you. Have a blessed week.

[@thebradc]

It’s so great you have these stores near you ! A really great video with some awesome books.

[@belhougoldenwind]

Damn, bookstores in Ohio are brutal lol, great video! btw i've read Autumncrow during Halloween, expecting a cool book and nothing more, but actually i LOVED it, especially the stories Frost and There are Monsters Here, that last one hit really hard!

[@freshlysqueez3d]

Night In the Lonesome October is my FAVOURITE Laymon book!! Pleeeeassseeee read it!

[@SlimeAndSlashers]

Oh my goshhhhhhh! These bookstores 🤩🔥 I have been longing to find Killer since I started collecting (which isn't that long honestly, but still, hahah)! Congrats on that find! Lots of great and exciting books, eeeee. I got a high watching you shop and finding some neat stuff. Also makes me want to go shopping 😆 I'm hoping to find some books on my upcoming trips out of town 🤞 Great vlog and haul! Thanks for making this for us 🎃

[@TalesFromTheHauntedLibrary]

The two Chelsea Quinn Yarbro books are both part of the chronicles of the vampire St. Germain - An excellent series, but best to start at the beginning if you can! Also, 'Of Saints and Shadows' was excellent, though it's been MANY years since I read it...

[@BookBlather]

OMG, I would have spent all day in those places. Good thing you checked the mystery section!

[@princessjen6009]

Look for horror in the sci fi sections as well! I sometimes find them in there too.

[@troytradup]

There was a book in one shot called The Burning Bride by Margaret Lawrence. I can't speak to that book, but if you ever see the first book in that series -- Hearts and Bones -- it's definitely worth a read. It's historical mystery, but it has a very dark undertone and terrific writing.

[@cindywingetbooks]

I am late to the party, but looks like you got some great books! I am totally jealous of all the huge thrift store books by you!

[@suzannecooper7713]

Yeah!!!! This is how I found your channel. Love book shopping videos. Thank you so much 😊

[@ElizabethSagewood]

A haunted bookstore? Can't get any better than that!!! Amazing haul, I love just looking at all the covers.

[@MooniK55]

those shelves are heaveeeeeeeeeeeen!

[@TheBookubus]

You found so many awesome books! And I am SO excited that you picked up This Symbiotic Fascination! Definitely one of my absolute favourite reads of the year. Looking forward to hearing what you think of it!

[@zacharyconyers4691]

Knowing your vibe you will LOVE night in the lonesome October by Laymon.

[@kitkatbar2246]

I miss when books had colored end pages. I know it's just a minor detail but I always wondered why publishers stopped doing that feature.

[@adriannaslibrary2909]

You know shit’s getting real when the books are wrapped in plastic 😂❤️

[@j.n.cahill1086]

Definitely understand you buying more online...I've been having amazing luck on ebay. Doesn't beat in-person book shopping but my selection isn't too good. Though I did find a new favorite used bookstore near me. Unfortunately they are tiny but the credit is the best I've found and the owner is very nice. If I am ever in Ohio, I will have to dedicate a day just to these bookstores! Great haul!

[@marytormey4522]

Hi Cameron ,very cool book store ,could spend hours in this place and thanks for sharing more ,

[@readinginthelairlunadrakon8028]

i have brian lumley's the house of doors {i'm 5 chapters in}. so far its giving me "blade meets independence day, with special effects of Ghost Ship; all on a slower pace" vibes.

[@NamasteBbooktube]

Thanks for making this awesome book shopping and haul video.

[@marytormey4522]

Hi Cameron ,love your channel ,the book stores you go to see so cool and could spend plenty of time in them ,very cool ,thanks for sharing ,

Hi Cameron ,love your channel and book buying videos are fun to watch ,I love books & horror too ,Stephen King ,Anne Rice and DArcy Coates are faves ,keep up the great work ,

[@Mcfishmeister]

In my hometown! Such a great bookstore. Edit: Referring to Browse Awhile. Used to do ghost tours in downtown Tipp back in the day that started at the bookstore.

[@fiberartsyreads]

So many awesome finds!

[@Monsterblood]

Both of these book stores look incredible! I'm so jealous lol. Not sure about that Haunted Bookstore, though 😅

[@Benjamin4242]

What a great haul! You know of so many cool bookstores-thanks for taking us along.

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

This video was a great escape into various bookstores and a wicked haul as well. I'm a bit late to the video sorry about that.

[@waterunder3718]

Make more videos like this it brings a smile to my face

[@AngelReads31]

Omg hunted bookstore that’s so cool and very creepy tho! You got a lot of great books! Awesome vlog! Oh also I just finished autumn crow and I can’t wait for autumn crow high to come out! :)

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you for reading! 👻📚

[@angelanelson5344]

Your videos always cheer me up!! LOVE watching your horror book finds : ) Also, can't wait for your book to come out, i've already put it on my Christmas list, just finished Autumn Crow, it was great!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Aww, thank you! I don’t think it will be out in time for Christmas at this point. So much personal life stuff has come up lately that has pushed it back, but it is on its way to being done. :)

[@angelanelson5344]

@@LibraryMacabre Whenever it comes out, i'll buy it! I hope you've been okay! : )

[@darryldonnelly5363]

I like this channel everytime I want a new horror book to read but cant think of one I come to this channel

[@ITCamefromthePage]

Killer is great! I have the UK version and I've started it in the last week. Very fun!

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

You need to read Night in Lonesome October. It's a night where a lot of weird things happen.

Great book haul! Lumley and Masterton are two of my favorites!!

[@ashley.k4601]

I love your book shopping videos! I just literally found hex by Steven L Stern and bought it at 2nd and Charles and a few other vintage horror paperback books.

[@michellesmelancholia]

Those bookshops look absolutely amazing! All my local ones have tiny horror sections. One question.... how do you keep track of which books you own?! Do you ever buy books to later realise you own it already?

[@murdock162002]

I also like a good graveyard cover. It was weird, I was saying outloud that I like that cover then you said you liked a good graveyard cover lol at least I'm not alone in that respect.

[@asher2220]

I'm so jealous! I can never find bookshops like this in the UK.

[@racquelfisher828]

This was such a good haul! I love these! I also just found a copy of The Tachyon Web by Christopher Pike!

[@HarpiesintheTrees]

"Im not broke!" Such a wonderful feeling! I really want to go in that basement 👀 that would be hilarious if a ghost hit on you "OoooOoooo...excuse me but um, I'd love to be your sheet...in bed *wink* "No thanks " "You're too alive for me anyway!" *vanishes* Awesome book haul! If I need to hide a horror book from you I'll be sure to place it in the DIY or romance section 😄

[@TheWitchofCrows]

Just watching you in that cellar was creeping me out! Great haul and great advice about looking in the mystery section for horror. 👍🏻

[@d.christophertatum2936]

Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is one of my best friends in the horror community. I do have to say that the horror in that series comes from humanity. The vampires are heroic, but they are still excellent books. She treats people in historic eras as “just people,” and I feel like I’ve learned something after reading them. Those are in a series but the books are not chronological so they can be read in any order. That being said, “Blood Games” is a great place to start. The series overall is the most realistic depiction of vampires I’ve come across. Speaking of vampires, I found an extra copy of “The Lost Boys” novelization if you are interested. Oh, and I found Joan Samson’s “The Auctioneer” yesterday for 10 cents. In Mystery ;)

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you for the info, friend! I will definitely start with Blood Games when I get a chance. 🧛🏻‍♂️ I would ABSOLUTELY be interested in The Lost Boys! I have been searching for a copy of that book forever! Thank you! 😃

[@d.christophertatum2936]

@@LibraryMacabre I paid a whopping 50 cents for it.

[@LukeDodge916]

I found my copy of H.O.W.L. High right around the time you published this video. I think I was in middle school when I picked this up. I was surprised to see it in your video for sure!

[@LibraryMacabre]

It's such a cool concept for a book! I believe there are two sequels.

[@andrealupino219]

This is probably one of the best book videos I've ever seen on youtube. it's really a shame that so many authors aren't available outside the U.S. because their books haven't been translated. Anyway, I'm writing to you from Italy and congratulate you for your channel. Very interesting.

[@eriebeverly]

I don't know if it's something to brag about but I have read "Rasputin's Revenge". It's more of a mystery than horror. Sometimes with books you have trouble settling in and I had issues buying into that the lead was French or he was actually rattling around Russia in the time period.

[@davidsantillanes3139]

There was so many Dean Koontz books, never actually read 'em. Loved the vlog!

[@LibraryMacabre]

He's one prolific dude!

[@VDRP]

You pick up books in gorgeous shape, either the previous owners keep their books in gorgeous shape, or no-one read those.

[@GoblinsStoleMyBrain]

All horror sections should be kept in haunted basements 😂😱

In a comic book series called project superpowers there is a hero called the mask who wears a mask that make you see your worst nightmares. In the golden age he just fought crime and wore an ugly mask .

I loved Autumncrow and I can not wait for Autumncrow High ❤

The reason you check the mystery section is the reason I also check the classics section. One rule I set with myself about money is if somethig is culturally enriching in any capacity (such as books), then it's worth the splurge :) NO GUILT NECESSARY!

How much do you read most of these vintage horror books? Judging by your reading wrapups, I only see modern indie horror books in those videos

[@LibraryMacabre]

I get sent a lot for review so those end up taking main priority. I do sneak in a lot of vintage YA horror to assist in the writing of my own novel, but these other paperbacks are taking a backseat until I’m free to read whatever I want.

[@ainedunne412]

Psychology can explain feeling spooked in certain places. It must have old piping. Which emits low vibrations we cannot hear, which causes us to feel spooked or uneasy as the vibration old pipes emit is on the same sound frequency as what natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis. Animals also respond to this frequency for that self same reasoning. It’s a response built into our genetics for self preservation. Doesn’t explain people feeling like they’re hit but scratches could easily happen as this type of frequency can cause auditory and visual hallucinations. Interesting huh 😁

[@jonathanjernigan8075]

Hey Cameron, hope you are doing well and staying creepy. I hope I haven't ever said anything in my comments offensive in anyway. I did make a little joke about the book you mentioned in one of your videos about Jonathan Rand, about the name he came up with pertaining to dust bunnies. My joke was a name of Night of the living dust bunnies. I am sorry about that joke, because I know you said when you found out that he came out with a book like Attack of the killer Dust Bunnies from Outer space, that it shattered you. I hope that comment didn't offend you in anyway. I do think that was wrong of Jonathan Rand to take other people's ideas and twist them. Just wanted you to know in case, I'm sorry.
