Reading Horror Books Recommended by TikTok 💀🪦 (reading my favorite book of the year so far!!)

[@readthesky]

the blood sweat & tears clip 😭😭😭 they need to bring back victorian vampire era bts

[@ginniereads]

"I'm either bored or I'm nauseous. There's not in between." Well that's definitely not fun. Any Man was added to my TBR. That quote and the way you felt has me sold.

[@TheGeekyandproud]

I do not read horror at all (im a coward and also have an anxiety disorder) but for some reason I love watching booktubers talk about horror stories. it satisfies the curiosity about the books without having to traumatize myself 😅

[@mordor4309]

Not reading horror doesn't make someone coward tho.

[@TheGeekyandproud]

@@mordor4309 oh for sure! I just jokingly say that about myself bc I get spooked very easily

[@kriziaamber4548]

Any Man was such a glowing five star for me. Also, the strange and fluctuating way the villain was described was genuinely terrifying.

[@CoralTheWitch2023]

Would LOVE to see more vlogs like this from you in the future!

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks Tammy!! ❤

[@happyhauntslibrary]

YESSS THE HORROR VLOGS ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!

[@samanthathomas9338]

Baker reads recommendations never miss, I think you’d love his recs

[@angeleisnaugle_thebookangel_]

I came to say that too!

[@sharonhill6184]

Would love to see a round two of this. I’ve always wanted to read horror, but not sure what to read. I love the sound of Any Man. Thanks Gabby for another great reading vlog

[@nmartin5096]

Amber Tamblyn is an actress (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants).

[@nicholcd53]

Great video concept. Love your themed reading vlogs. Well I like all your vlogs lol. ❤

[@Steph_W]

This was such a great idea!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching. And to find new books!

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks Steph!! ❤

[@brittanysettle]

I absolutely would watch more videos like this - I think any genre would be a fun watch, but there’s something about finding new horror that hits differently. I do have a recommendation that I think you might genuinely enjoy, but I’m only partway through, so I’ll have a better opinion on it soon, but At Home with the Horrors by Sammy Scott is a novel with 14 short horror stories! Also thank you for putting Any Man on my radar - I think it will be a very tough read but also very important, so I’ll be picking this up soon 🖤

[@gabbyreads]

Ohhh I don’t think I’ve heard of that one! I’m definitely gonna check it out thank you!! And yes ahhh Any Man is so good!!

[@ky_piva]

That’s so cool that Amber Tamblyn wrote Anyman and it’s possible top 5!! I’m def gunna buy the book now!! This is why I look forward to this type of videos! Thank you❤

[@tracyhoverson8294]

Love the concept of this video and would love to see more!! Horrors, Thrillers, or Romance would be super cool! Great way to learn about more recommended books - I hadn’t heard if any of these.

[@Hotelpastis]

From Sisterhood of Traveling Pants to Any Man. Amber is a Jack of all trades. But it sounds like something an adult Tibby might write.

[@leigholive976]

I loved this so much! I purchased Any Man so quickly! I would absolutely watch more videos like this ! 🥰

[@GavinReadsItAll]

This was such a great concept and execution, and some of those short stories in Little Paranoias sound like I may enjoy. Also the Any Man audiobook sounds SO good!

[@gabbyreads]

Aw thanks Gav!! 🥹💞

[@Gaigemaid]

I loved House of Hunger! I did see it as more of a dark fantasy then a horror. I thought it was so interesting to learn that blood skeeves you out. I don't have that issue so I liked the different perspective on how some of the scenes made you feel.

[@arobinreads]

Great vlog! Definitely checking out Any man, sounds fascinating

[@jessicaburnett243]

I love your videos!! Love the honesty and I can so relate about blood and needles..lol I don't really enjoy horror books but I have started to dive into this genre because of you. So, keep posting great content 👍

[@MelLenoreReads]

Ohh so glad you did this video. I'm not usually a short story person, but Paranoia has me very intrigued.

[@MelLenoreReads]

Welp. Any Man goes straight on the TBR

[@Jillybeanzxo]

Woooo! Another vlog already! 🥳 I’ve been intrigued by Any Man for a while but dang now this settles it, I’m buying it! 🙌

[@CoralTheWitch2023]

Definitely picking up Any Man!

[@ILoveJahangeer]

Absolutely fantastic video, Gabby! I will definitely will be purchasing ‘Any Man.’ Continue shining! ❤️

[@Linda-ju5df]

Amber Tamblyn the actress?? I'm shook. Any Man definitely sounds intriguing.

[@Steph_W]

I was wondering the same??! The actress. Lol

[@ashleyjoyes4425]

Yes

[@VeraFran]

The very same. Ole Joan of Arcadia

[@aurorastoprose]

I am so excited to finally be a Patreon!!! Yayyy :) love the vlog so much

[@gabbyreads]

Omg yay thank you Cami!!!! ❤🥰

[@thebookblah]

Themed reading vlogs like these are the best. 💜👏

[@queenkim8631]

Okay, you convinced me to buy Any Man. Also, I would love a part 2!!

[@CTC98-Bulu]

Haven't read any of them but will add them to my ever increasing tbr list. Definitely go ahead with ur plans on making vids on other booktok recs! For example, Thrillers and romance genre. I think currently romance genre is being hyped in booktok community...so you'll find lots of rec there👀

[@deh.dezaeza]

More horror books, Gabby. Please! My wishlist is growing and I'm loving it 💜

[@ginarosanova]

Enjoyed this video. I read House of Hunger earlier this month, very atmospheric, like you said but I agree that it was probably a 3 ⭐️ read for me as well. Definitely interested in reading Any Man after hearing your thoughts. Would love to see another video like this one!

[@priyadarshinimukherjee697]

Although I enjoy a good horror read, I think you could also go for books that has a surprising twist at the end or something along the lines of that!! Loved this video btw!!

[@sasapejcin3568]

Agreed 🙃😉

[@atomwriter4606]

I have read some of Amber Tamblyn’s poetry. It’s pretty good. Hard to believe it’s the same girl from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Six Feet Under.

[@ashleyslittlelibrary]

yesss Any Man is SO powerful!!

[@livelyelle]

A 40 minute reading vlog? Sign me up🫶🏼💜

[@halko1802]

Any Man sounds interesting! Getting recommendations from tik tok is a great idea! I’d love to see more like this!

[@KylasCozyCorner]

Immediately goes and puts Any Man on hold at the library! And Omg also I have House of Hunger on my tbr this month so now I’m hella curious! 🫣🤣

[@wendywu1395]

picked up any man bc of ur review on goodreads, finished it in two days !!! so so amazing !!

[@famkeprins4620]

I loved this video and the concept! Would really like this kinda videos to see more! I would like different genres as well, or specific country/states where authors are from? Maybe scandinavic thriller/crime recs? And Any Man sounds really cool, like right up my alley. :-) I hope it will be translated to Dutch (I'm from Holland), is it a new release or not? Have never heard of it!

[@17caria]

I would try this for any genre, especially any that you are not sure where to start with.

[@abookishlair]

This was everything!

[@kedwards127]

I also LOVED Any Man!!! The audiobook narrators were flawless!

[@welldonebooks]

Any Man sounds amazing. gonna have to look into it!

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh yes I think you’d love it Max!

[@lindasoto024]

I didn’t know the amber tamblyn the actress from the sister of the traveling pants was an author too. I’m sold on any man!

[@monicapressley6086]

Amber Tamblyn is an actress I believe and in one of The Grudge movies. Her father was in West Side Story.

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog 📚☕🦇🪦💀👻

[@zkinak2107]

It’s super cool you read Little Paranoias! The standouts for me in the collection were Weary Bones and Quadrapocalpse, though I do agree that Always in my ear was a unique tale.

[@madelyntumbleson]

omg any man was one of my favorite books last year, can’t wait to see what u thought!!

[@julieinman3944]

I love the idea of picking books from TikTok. I'm glad you loved at least one of them. I'm going to add Any Man to my TBR.

[@Halahlala303]

Ugh the music in this video is taking me back to your stephen king reading vlogs!

[@finalcrutches03]

I remember Amber Tamblyn coming out with a nonfiction book called Age of Ignition (could be wrong), I didn’t know she wrote fiction and poetry. I will definitely check out Any Man, this sounded really compelling. great video! Edit: Just checked, the name of the nonfiction book is Era of Ignition 😅

[@itowilltube]

Another banger even if you didn't love all recs watching was a pleasure and glad you found something that moved you to terrible and awful places 😜. Yes we need part 2. Maybe do Twitter or Tumblr is it still alive lol. I'd love a horror shorts or time travel theme like paper girls or manga something up your alley or creeping down your spine

[@nadino97]

From hearing you talk about Any Man (which I immediately added to my tbr), I think you might enjoy Before You Knew My Name by Jacqueline Bublitz. Read it a few weeks back and the way it made me feel ugghhh! It wasn't a perfect 5 star for me but I believe it too had a lot of solid conversation starters and really gets you to think more.

[@karamarie6781]

Read Faerie Tale by Raymond Feist. Creepy, atmospheric book about the fae (not Tinkerbell!) and an old farmhouse in New York State. I read it twice.

[@tinadoesntreadthatmuch]

I’ve been hearing comparisons to A Dowry of Blood everywhere and I’m so nervous right now because I HATED ADOF and was super excited about AHOH. But I also tried The Year of the Witching and ended up dnfing it 😅😅 so I don’t know. All signs points to NO but damn, the premise sounds so intriguing!!

[@Pinkponyresistance]

Amber is also an actress! Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants anyones?! 👖

[@josephinedonnelley4762]

Yes I love these vlogs. Please do more horror!

[@alyrica0505]

I had to check to be sure but Amber Tamblyn is an actress too. She was in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Joan of Arcadia.

[@vickigumabon]

Hi gabby! Nothing to do with the video but I’m so glad your channel has brought me back to reading! Binging all your videos with my daughters & we just love your energy! Have an amazing day 🤍

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so sweet thank you so much!! ❤❤❤

[@christinelagueux8155]

I am actually reading House of Hunger right now. Only 3 chapters in and it is intriguing

[@jessicac7279]

I definitely agree I was a victim of sexual assault when I was younger and I fully believe that it should be treated equal all the way around I love that you spears awareness to that and you understand the book sound very impactful unfortunately I can’t read that book but I love that there’s something out there that spreads awareness equally cause it definitely happens to men and should be taken very seriously but like always I enjoy your videos you make my whole year always your awesome thank you 🤗🤗🤗

[@gabbyreads]

💞💞💞

[@percydoeseverything]

Loved this!!

[@Hillary429]

I would ask for recommendations of BookTok creators who ppl think you would vibe with and check out their recs 💡

[@Hillary429]

I also only felt bored or nauseous while reading House of Hunger (and I loved Tender is the Flesh!) so I ended up DNFing at like 80%

[@rebar351]

Adds any man to my TBR!

[@melinamann7494]

I never heard of Any Man before this video but your review made me get the audio book from the library!

[@amandalove3789]

What about a video for recommend best horror books for beginners. I’ve been wanting to start reading horror books but don’t know which book to choose.

[@vampqueen]

Read - Vampyrrhic by Simon Clark (about vampires) This book isn't as gory as the House of Hunger, but it is spooky. has some really scary spooky moments.

[@lindac2729]

ok i just checked out Any man really enjoyed this video , good backround song for horror books thanks for the recommendations

[@bby.kaylamarie]

Loved any man read it for a book club last year, did you know amber tamblyn is an actress she was in the sisterhood of traveling pants❤️❤️

[@taratalksbooks]

Any Man sounds so intriguing.

[@erinweeks2915]

Baker reads and Sydney reads are great thriller and horror booktokers!

[@meeksmoviesancollectable9674]

Back in my younger days, I used to watch daytime soaps mainly to see Amber tamblyn. She was also in a fantastic thriller called spiral. Now that I know she's writing books, I'll have to check them out. I'm also a horror/sci-fi/murder mystery kinda reader so any books/video you do based on that, I'm definitely interested.

[@trishee7625]

Any Man…YES!

[@ReadingWryly]

🙌🏻YYYAAAAAAASSS! Not me on the edge of my seat waiting for your reaction to Any Man. THE WRITING!!!! I'm so glad it affected you like it did me. Amber 👏 Tamblyn 👏 Gets 👏 It 👏

[@gabbyreads]

Yes omg it’s so good 😭🥰

[@missidaswann]

Personally, I loved "House of Hunger" and it was one of my favourite reads from last year! Funnily enough, horror and gore isn't my thing, but I still really enjoyed it 😅 Haven't read the other three books, but will 100% add "Any Man" to my tbr! 👏

[@mzktbzkt6005]

I've just finished tender is the flesh, I did find it hard to get into at first got better in the middle and but found the ending a little rushed. Started reading The Terror by Dan Simmons today :).

[@elizabethgordon1515]

Dirty heads reminds me of the Japanese classic no longer human. It's a visceral look at depression and anxiety and how life's circumstances lead to this man's dark downward spiral. So good.

[@JojoJojo-bd6dz]

Was the audiobook in the speed of light

[@christinelagueux8155]

I heard Any Man was really good

[@tomikodickinson2803]

Ok you got me interested on any going to try it ❤

[@megintheforest]

Hey Gabby! Have you heard of "What the Hell Did I Just Read" by David Wong/Jason Pargin? It's a cosmic horror novel that also has lots of humor, I just finished it, I think you'd find it interesting! I've found so many great horror reads through your channel, keep doing what you're doing! (:

[@JulieSwisher]

I went to western Washington so I love your sweatshirt ;) did you go there!?

[@jenniehill2791]

Love this❤

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

I'm more into horror and the thriller genre than any other book content videos. 😊

[@Lanaxparillaxwife]

I’m def interested in reading any man

[@aleksandereide7538]

are you planing on reading the marriage act by john marrs ?? i am 50 % through the audiobook and it is sooo good :D since you loved the one i do think you will like this

[@beautynbrainzxo]

If blood 🩸 bothers you then don’t read house of hunger lol it’s mentioned in almost every other sentence!

[@butterfly-angel25]

Maybe do a general popular books of 2023 according to TikTok?

[@SueWard]

Just bought Any man

[@giantjungle]

Just fyi, Amber Tamblyn is one of the actresses from Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I haven’t even heard of so many of these 😂

[@KellieValentine]

My teen sister and her gf have been looking for horror recs that aren’t too wild to ease them into the horror genre, do you think Little Paranoia’s would be a good book to recommend to them?

[@bradfordbroach8734]

House of leaves is good. And Penpal is good.

[@myrarucker7953]

Read Joe Hill collections!!

[@LilMissSmartyPants.922]

im currently reading "The Macabre" by Stuart James it says "6 thrilling stories" they sounded good so i thought ok...just finished the first story and it sucked i was very unimpressed!!! the rest these stories better not be lame like "the intruder" was

[@iheartcats4life_]

Are we talking about the same amber Tamlin from the sisterhood of the traveling pants?!

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

amber tamblyn? like the sisterhood of the traveling pants actress amber tamblyn? i didn't know she was an author!

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Not my jam but enjoy you so very much. Thanks

[@bartelsjnyable]

If you can get the arc or make note of it for July…read The Boys in the Valley!
