Pulling an All-Nighter to Read My Most Anticipated Horror Book EVER! ⚰️

[@amymalski]

I would love to see an "at night horror" series of vlogs and more exploring the house or outside to creep yourself out, lolz!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I have my plan for my cabin in the middle of the woods vlog at the end of April, I'm excited!

[@tracy1089]

I thought absolutely for sure you would put a jump scare when checking out your place and being creeped out. Loves the atmosphere and everything about this vlog!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I knew no one would ever trust me again if I put in a jump scare 😂I did it in my camping outside vlog and I got such a scalding from everyone haha

[@tracy1089]

@@GavinReadsItAll I know!!!! Looking forward to seeing more from your horror journey & the cabin Vlog in April 💚

[@oneeyewitch]

I love how you scare yourself so bady lol. I mean I do the same so its great seeing someone else do the same thing lol

[@TheAvocadoToastBudget]

Gav, your sense of humor is TOP TEIR! 😂 no matter how much it’s appreciated, it’s still underrated

[@GavinReadsItAll]

😭thank you!

[@msellenandrea]

I'm Norwegian and grew up with Andre Bjerkes poetry and rhymes, and I had to read more about this book! He was very fascinated by Freud and psychoanalysis and used those themes a lot in his books, this book obviously no exception. He was also a pioneer of Norwegian crime fiction; it is now the biggest genre being produced here and also what we are most known for abroad. Like Jo Nesbø!

[@katiee728]

Not me getting scared when you're walking up the stairs and panning around the corner 🤦‍♀ you had me so nervous talking about the noises you were hearing lmao omg. I'm sorry this book didn't quite meet your expectations but it was so fun to watch you read it! You've got me in the mood for a good gothic book now...

[@amymalski]

ditto

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I'm in the mood for more gothic now too to be fair, so the book was effective in that regard

[@miquesbookvlogs372]

As a fellow insomniac, trust me I know EXACTLY how that feels. Sending hugs!! Oh and sorry for being late lol will happily accept any form of punishment ✨

[@miquesbookvlogs372]

seeing how scared this book is making you makes me want to take back all my recs because I swear I think I’m gonna end up getting blocked at this rate 😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I'll just need to read your recs in broad daylight, preferably in public and surrounded by people haha I scared myself more than the book did not gonna lie 😂

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

In Norway it is still stamped as a crime novel and glad you finally read it. It is nice to see it has finally been translated.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I would agree with the crime aspect, I don't know why I was adamant it was horror - maybe the synopsis and the cover really makes it look more horror than crime.

[@Ciaransworld]

TURN ON THE LIGHTS#!! 😆 Love the creaking stairs and doors. Perfect mood setters.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I ended up doing just that 😂

[@lilygrant2525]

Oh my goodness! As soon as you were going to bed and the quality switched...I was thinking, "This for sure feels like a scary movie moment!" Like oh man was I scared for you 😂💕

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha it felt like I was living in a scary movie to be fair 😂

[@lilygrant2525]

@@GavinReadsItAll Yeah, when you were walking up the stairs and then you looked down the stairs...I was right there with you being scared. 😆💕

Did anybody see the orb fly in front of his face, when he was sitting on the bed talking?!? Good video.

[@Cafe_Scribbles]

I’ve been wanting to do an all-nighter read lately but my old lady body resists it. I commend your effort ❤️❤️

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha to be fair my old lady instincts kicked in and I ended up going to bed 😂

[@PumpkinFinch]

Advice from my therapist about insomnia. if you don’t fall asleep in 20 minutes get out of bed and go do something relaxing (like reading) till ready to try again. Trying to force yourself to sleep is actually going to make it harder to sleep.

[@lyra1147]

Gavin..!! I'm actually having a bad headache and had a bad day.. I know even if this is a horror vlog, I'll laugh a few times because of you.. I'm gonna cozy up and watch this.. Perfect way to end the day..! Thank you.!! ❤️

Aw sorry to hear you've had a bad day, I hope the headache is clearing up now!

Gav you had me SO intrigued to read this book and just laughing out loud at once, beautiful!

[@ILoveJahangeer]

Gav’, you’re so sincere and funny lol. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@camillafladberg673]

The lack of sleep can have something to do with the coffee😉.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I don’t have coffee past a certain time, this was just one time for this video 😉

[@MILKandHONEY13]

I feel like I’m at a sleepover with a girlfriend. I love these kind of vlogs!

I love that mug. It's gorgeous

I love the referring to your own eyes as 'these bitches'

[@saphirareads]

God the lighting in this video made me feel some type of way. A good way !! I love the creativity behind this and this has also been a great video to start my day with

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you so much!!

[@ReadingNymph]

.. I made a mistake in watching this before bed, the door creaking, the empty blackness in house .... yea not sleeping now 😅 Brilliant video (I'm a scardey cat too 😨)

[@sydneypaterson1013]

I'm so happy you finally got around to reading this! Because yes you've been talking about it non stop. Commenting before I finish the video.. hope it was worth your hype lol. So excited to go on this novel journey with you

[@juliesbooklandreviews]

I'm watching your video in the dark as you read in the dark what are the odds?🤣

This video is awesome! Hahahaha I laughed so much!!!! Haha I have trouble sleeping too I have bone tumors that keep me up 😩 reading is definitely my escape. I love your videos thanks for making me laugh today

I'm adopted and just found out I'm almost 75% Norwegian, because of a dna test. I'm hoping I love this book. Great video

[@lindsayarmstrong7130]

I didn’t get to bed until 6 this morning and I didn’t even have a nap yesterday! So I definitely know about the sleep deprivation.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ahh it sucks doesn't it

[@lindsayarmstrong7130]

@@GavinReadsItAll big time!

[@leandrathetbrzero]

I actually just finished this book! (bought it bc it was on your anticipated reads list) And it is more on the thriller side as detective fiction (that is would I would label this) goes. Even all of the self-aware refs to the genre by the author is just SO detective fiction. I think I am giving the book four stars as well bc I def felt the fear factor, but the ending was like wtf hahaa to Freudian for me 😂

[@marcyreads]

Omg yes those 10pm coffees hit different! 🤣

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Right?! I think it's a sign we prefer the night

[@along3570]

Idk if someone's mentioned this yet, but Valancourt does go out of its way to find old queer(ish) horror. The Elementals by Michael McDowell (also wrote Bettlejuice) was released by them and it's absolutely wonderful. And short.

[@JamieReads_1]

Great video. I haven't stayed up to read a book that and scared me at the same time. 📚👽

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oooo would you try it?

[@JamieReads_1]

@@GavinReadsItAll Yes it sounds like so much fun.

[@ethalinia]

If you want a really scary book, try 'Echo' by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I really thought books could not be truly scary, but I didn't even make it past the first chapter with that one 😂

[@harisa-esquiredtoread7367]

Super fun to watch you read this. Hope you find the perfect horror sub genre for you!!

Yes!!! Private practice ❤

[@books-on-a-wire]

I don't know if I would be a horror reader if I lived alone (and had squeaky doors and skylights lol).

[@books-on-a-wire]

Also, this sounds like a classic Suspense story, we don't really get that genre anymore.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

@@books-on-a-wire Yep you could be right - a suspenseful crime novel, sounds about the right way of summing it up!

[@kasashaasreadingjournal3446]

I must have watched too much scary shit cause I was fully expecting things to appear everytime you turned around in the dark.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I was so tempted to edit in a jump scare but I did that once during a video where I camped outside and people HATED me for it hahaha so I vowed never to do it again 😂

[@SwEetSaKuRa918]

I'm Hella early for once! I wouldn't read a horror at night 😳 my chicken ass won't sleep lmao 🙃 😅 😂 🤣

Haha yeah it was a bad idea for myself to do that haha 😂

I saw a video where the guy said the difference between is thriller or horror is the horror includes supernatural elements.

Gavin, 10pm: Can't sleep Me last night: Fell asleep like a log at 8pm while in the middle of reading a r*unchy fanfic. Even the h*rny doesn't keep me up.

[@saxawinters4261]

Hi darling. You might wanna check the movie. I never read the book, I only saw the movie remake of 2019 so I don't know if it's faithful to the book.

[@jamieserrano827]

The girl next-door is supposed to be based on a true crime, but I think Jack Ketchum Put a more fictionalized spin on it. I wouldn’t mind seeing the movie by Lucky McKee but it might be a little much for me I don’t know

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Yeah I could never watch the movie 😬the book and the real life story is far too much for me!

Sorry I said that part too quickly and realise it sounds like a jumbled mess 😅I said "it's co-written by Andre Bjerke", but it's still called The Lake of the Dead!

[@elfaro1607]

Even then f you don’t sleep straight away if you’re consistent with what time you try to sleep eventually your body will realise the new routine and start releasing the chemicals required for sleep. You actually have power over it.
