horror books you need to read this halloween 🎃 my top recommendations for spooky season

[@rae7129]

I was obsessed with the Horrorstor book because it was topnotch with magazine-like pages! And it was the first time I came across a channel recommending that book. 😄

[@georgianic]

It’s so good isn’t it - really different and creative! 🫶 I loved the story too - so scary and fun!!

[@wnderfulsmiler]

I am SO happy seeing someone recommend Last house on needless street! It really is super amazing and needs way more attention than it's getting

[@georgianic]

I thought it was so so good - deffo needs more hype!

[@wnderfulsmiler]

@@georgianic it really does!

[@kaiju_k5042]

Yes, that ending.. yowza!!!

[@adrian_christine_]

The Last House On Needless Street is one of my absolute faves!! I recommend it to everyone!! Have you read The Patient by Jasper Dewitt? Highly recommend the audio. I listened alone in the dark and it totally freaked me out 👀

[@georgianic]

It’s so good right? 👏 I have heard amazing things about The Patient (specifically the audiobook) so will be adding that to my list right now! Thanks for the rec :)

[@Kuyjac258]

@@georgianic I’m about half way through now and loving it.

[@TheLazyDaze]

I picked up Stolen Tongues today cause of this video. I'm only like 2 chapters in so far but it's already super creepy! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@georgianic]

Yay! I’m glad you’re enjoying it - it only gets creepier 😂🧡

[@nicolaspencer]

I loved hearing about all of the scary books!.. i wouldnt dare read them but the scariest thing of all to me was being stuck in ikea all night! .look forward to your next vlog x

[@georgianic]

Haha yes I don’t think I’d like that either! Will deffo get you to read a scary book one day 👻 x

[@racheltfisher]

I recommend The Small Spaces or Cassidy Blake series if you want some children’s or middle grade spooky books

[@s.m.m6710]

Just subscribed!!! I've read some of these books already but I'm definitely gonna get Stolen Tongues andCamp Slaughter!!! Thanks for your recommendations!!!

[@georgianic]

Thank you so much for watching + deciding to stick around! ☺️ sounds like you have good taste it books - hope you enjoy!!

[@Jaaywolfe]

I am literally looking for similar books to Stolen Tongues because I absolutely loved it!

[@georgianic]

It was so good right!!! There must be other things like it out there somewhere!

[@Jaaywolfe]

@@georgianic right! Any reqs I see.. are nothing like it! I think that’s just a fear of mine.. dark, outside woods. I did see devolution by max brooks is supposed to be similar so I bought it but haven’t read it haha

[@CricketStyleJ]

There is a prequel novel to Stolen Tongues. It's called Church Beneath the Roots.

[@lauramacaskill7553]

Just bought Stolen Tongues and Night of the Mannequins after seeing this vid - my week off work is sorted 😛👻 great vid!

I loved Imaginary Friend. Another really great scary story is Baby Teeth. That one freaked me right out.

[@georgianic]

Baby Teeth sounds sooooo good!

[@ThisisJenn]

Awee I love the little pumpkin randomly sitting by you 🖤🥰🎃 Loving the vibe. Great videooo, thanks so much for the book recommendations. I needed it.

[@ThisisJenn]

oh and I must add: Subscribed and added all these books to my wish list lol (So haaaappy that Stolen Tongues AND The Whisper Man are available on my kindle Unlimited US)

I cannot pass these mini pumpkins without buying a few 🧡😂 thank you so much for watching and for deciding to stick around! I hope you enjoy the books!! 🫶 x

@@georgianic Started reading Stolen Tongues last night and OMG 👏👏👏

[@milborae]

I have recently finished Stolen Tongues, and I LOVED IT!!! I genuinely thought I could see things moving around in the darkness in my room whilst reading that book... I was SPOOKED.

[@georgianic]

Yesssss!! Such a good scary book - I wish I could reread for the first time!!!

[@Stygia96]

I'm thinking of ending things was pretty good but lost me toward the end. I loved the car ride to his family house, something about an open dialougue between two characters really hits the spot especially when you start piecing things together. Anyways gonna try stolen tongues bc of your recommendations!

[@georgianic]

Yes I totally get that! The start of the book is so strong! I love reading about two people talking and things unravelling as you read! Hope you like Stolen Tongues - it’s so fun!

[@marciassparklesthreads3823]

I love horror! Thank you for your recommendations. Will definitely be looking for these. 😊

[@georgianic]

Thank you for watching :) 🧡

[@Littleloulotus1964]

The house on needles street was so good. I read it in 3 days and am now reading Catriona Wards new book Sundial! So excited for this one

[@georgianic]

It’s so good right!! I need to pick that one up!

[@alecmomalec1298]

i just read night of the mannequins ! really loved it!

[@georgianic]

yes!! such a good one! i read my heart is a chainsaw by the same author recently and enjoyed that too! ☺️

[@danelsonx]

Great List! I normally have a tough time finding something interesting to read since if you have watched and read horror all your life, nothing surprises you. I read Last House On Needlees Street. Although I figured out what was going on pretty early in the book, it was a great read. Thanks for the tip on Stolen Tongues. So far, it is interesting as well. I also downloaded samples of Pretty Girls and Imaginary Friend.

[@georgianic]

Totally agree - not much shocks me anymore so I know I’ve found a gem when it does! Yes such a fun read, I was firmly in the camp of *had no idea what was going in, and was completely mind blown when it was revealed-*😂 hope you enjoy!!! Pretty Girls is the most disturbing read, I’ve found nothing like it since!

[@JaySanderson]

Best book video yet! Just in time for spooky season 😁

[@georgianic]

Yay!!! My fave season

[@jorgelopez-pr6dr]

Although it is not a novel,this short story scared me as no other work had done in a long time: "The Old Portrait" by Hume Nisbet.

Hidden pictures freaked me out! Highly recommend!!

[@georgianic]

This sounds so good - will be buying!! Thank you for the rec :)

[@lynnhathaway3755]

The Last House on Needless Street felt like the book that never ends. The first few chapters were good, however, the twist became obvious half way through. Then the author spent the last three chapters explaining/justifying the twist. And the only character I really felt much sympathy for was the cat.

[@georgianic]

Oh no! I’m sad to hear you didn’t like it! I think that book is either a love or hate from other reviews I’ve seen! Yes I agree about the cat, I felt the same about the characters!

[@tiboraranyossi9263]

Great recommendation,PRETTY GIRLS is on my wishlist forever,THE WHISPER MAN is on my TBR shelf and I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS was AMAZING,loved it ❤️

A good old school horror novel is: Walkers. by Graham Masterton. Published 1991

[@georgianic]

[@Kuyjac258]

I’ve just finished The Exorcist’s House by Nick Roberts which was really good. Plenty gore and creepiness. Perfect for October.

[@georgianic]

Oooooh that sounds great!!!

[@Chasing.therain]

I agree! Whisper Man was so creepy!!!

[@georgianic]

yes!!! i loved it!!

[@lonibelle2524]

I just came across this video so I’m late to the game but Stolen Tongues is narrated on KZbin by a channel called Be Busta and it’s named My Cabin Getaway. It is TERRIFYING to hear it aloud!! Also I loved your recommendations, thank you!

[@georgianic]

oooh it’s been a while since i read it now so i will have to watch this & revisit! i bet hearing it outloud is 10x scarier!! thanks for watching and for the rec!!! ☺️

[@alliewithbooks]

I definitely need to pick some of these up!! I did pick up Night of the Living Mannequins and ended up DNF'ing it unfortunately. It just wasn't for me! But I really want to pick up other books by Stephen Graham Jones soon!

[@georgianic]

I think out of all of these if you’re gonna pick up one - do The Whisper Man (for a fun thrilling read) or Stolen Tongues (to be scared) 🫶 Thanks for watching lovely!

[@andiereads]

Have you read Cirque Bezerk by Jessica Guess?? It's a slasher novella at a haunted carnival, where teenagers are up to no good 👀 SO FUN!

Okay, I stumbled upon this video since I am looking for a new book recommendation and it popped up. I had no idea what your taste is so i was not sure if your list would ma6ch what I like to read. Then you suggested "Night of the Mannequins"... and yeah, your taste matches mine since I read that awhile ago and it is absolutely stellar.

It’s so good isn’t it! I might give it a re-read soon because it’s been a little while!! Thanks for watching :)

Stolen tongues was originally a Reddit story on NoSleep was it not?. I remember reading it and LOVING it and hearing about it become an actual book?

Yes it was!! I read the Reddit post after I read the book and I’m so happy it did so well! So creepy!

You don't have to turn lights off for bed time. Why do people do that?

[@_itslaura_]

Thank you for these recommendations! I feel like you mostly enjoy rather scary horror books/thrillers but have you read The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey? It's my fav book, and it is not exactly scary imo but the characters are amazing and they have very strong developments. The main character is a 10-year old girl, who is not your typical main character. It includes zombies, but it's not rlly about that, to me it's about what makes smth a monster and it's just really good and the ending has a twist you probably wouldn't expect. It's very well written and great for anyone who loves books that make them think (and metaphors!) I wish everyone who reads this a great day!🥰
