My Favorite Horror Novels (Part 1) 2021

[@sherrismith8874]

I always say, "I'm the realest," when someone says "First things first..." so hearing you say it made my evening.

[@Andrew_reads]

This is undoubtedly, my favorite horror books channel. Loving your videos so much.

[@JordalineReads]

Aw that might be the nicest thing anyones ever said thank you so much 😭💖❤

[@yumgumgrl76]

excuse me miss maaaam, who gave you the RIGHT to look this good?! can we talk about the yellow eyeshadow moment you’re having that is MATCHING THE CHAIR ugh living thank you for your service

[@pastorytime2683]

I came here to say the same thing!!! The eyeshadow! 💛💛💛

[@davidray5847]

“Margaret gets on her ghost phone” had me DYING 😂😂😂

[@myonnareads]

i LOVE that you always unintentionally give asmr, as someone who loves asmr it’s so relaxing

[@codeinesnaps]

KIN.. I remember the broken glass scene and the eye! bitch the fcken eye!

[@AmyElizabethReads]

The fact that you loved Kin and told Kill Creek to suck it, makes my heart and soul happy. Clearly I need to read all your recommendations now.

[@YaItsCiara]

Girl, you've got me so obsessed with Michael McDowell!! I've read 4 of his books this year and I have to agree that the Amulet is my fave so far. I also LOVED Gilded Needles you have to read it! Such a good revenge story.

[@MonaLisa-iq2mh]

Jordaline, I freaking loved this video! You look so beautiful and I’m glad you talked about your extensions and wigs. You hair always looks amazing and I have been wondering what you were doing. I have been wanting extensions but I don’t anything about them. Anyway, I digress, thank you for the book ideas. You are the BEST!

[@ginayoung130]

YOU got me into Michael McDowell and I will be forever grateful. Blackwater is my favorite book of all time now. His books are just... perfection! ❤

[@johngalt2069]

Really love that you keep doing the updated versions even though most of the books are the same. Especially since I read slow and have read only a few so far. Read Kin and My Best Friends Exorcism and working my way through more Grady Hendrix right now but Head Full of Ghosts is next on my list.

[@NakiasHideaway]

That has to be the best brush! 🙌🏾 Love you gushing over Michael McDowell and Sergio Gomez. I haven't read either of them yet but definitely will soon. 😊

[@gabbyreads]

Omg every book you mentioned is either on my TBR or I’ve never even heard of it and I’m like 👀 I need to step up my horror game lmao

[@shereeforster3693]

You have come such a long way! Love your channel, love your style, taste in books and honesty. I always look forward to your videos.

[@alexaproffitt4640]

That hair color on you…sooo good!! ⭐️

[@mikellecallahan516]

Love your videos and that's a YES for Michael McDowell. I've been dying to get my hands on them since you recommended him.

[@brxndygee]

Just finished “Kin” and YES, WE LOVE IT!!!!

[@pastorytime2683]

Ok, I'll order The Elementals (currently reading and loving Katie). Love this!!!

[@oneeyewitch]

I just found your channel and now ive subscribbed! This video is amazing and my amazon cart is getting bigger lol

[@511Kaitlin]

So glad I found your channel. Was recommended by Katie Colson. I’ve been really getting into more horror books I am so excited to watch your video to see what do you recommend me!

[@debatrigoswami8173]

Youe channel gives one of the best horror book recommendations! I love it here!!

[@CrazyCryss04]

Ugh, you always pull me out of a slump 💕

[@codeinesnaps]

i just commented before you mentioned the prologue!!! bitiiiiitchh!

[@pattireinheimer5612]

Have you ever read Dead White by Alan Ryan? I read it back in the day around the time I was reading Michael McDowell. Not sure if it’s still in print so it might be a search, but I think it might appeal to you.

[@SlimeAndSlashers]

Great video! I still have to read a lot of these. I recently read The Elementals and freaking loved it 😍 After I finished I went on a McDowell shopping spree and bought a lot of his other books 🤩 Can't wait to get to The Amulet.

[@andreavelez4968]

Can't wait for part two and possibly part three 🥰

[@jaimelh4643]

Definitely would watch a Michael McDowell reading blog. A slasher rec- The Summer is Ended and We Are Not Yet Saved by Joey Comeau, about a killer set loose on a bible summer camp, is pretty fun.

[@vanessargipson]

So glad I found you! SUBSCRIBED 😊

[@sarahdrrck9424]

OH MY GAH GIRL!!!! I picked up The Elememntals because you recommended it, finished it in two days! I could not put it down, this book is muuuahhhh (chef kiss) 💋. It is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere, characters PERFECT for a warm summer night read! The ending was ehhhh, only because I didn't want it to end! Thank you for recommending this. Love your vids!!!

[@marlinmelero9840]

kin was so good ill never stop recommending it. i literally bought it because of you

[@MoonOwl1961]

I love the glasses on you!

[@holbrookjr]

I'm reading A Head Full of Ghosts with my horror book club this year!😀

[@Poisoned_Pumpkin]

One of my favorite horror reads of all time is Night Film by Marisha Pessl. It’s creepy, atmospheric and has incredible characters. There is also come occult and dark magic rituals as well. If you haven’t read it, I would definitely check it out!!

[@dianaa9385]

I've added camp slaughter and kin to my tbr file, idk if you also read horror manga? but my favorite are Starving Anonymous, killing stalking, and Fortress of the apocalypse.

[@constantreader2099]

I love all your recommendations! You are absolutely gorgeous , your makeup is always on point 👌

[@LyssaSea]

Think you could put together some summer horror suggestions? I need to start planning out my books to take to the beach. 😎

[@radiantchristina]

Excellent recommendations. I feel like i need to read Kin

[@jennyjumpjump]

Great recommendations. I think I'm ready for Kin

[@denlillefinefisk]

I am new to horror in books, so I love a good rec. Thank you. 😁

[@JordalineReads]

You're so welcome!

[@BooksCauseInsomnia]

I love your videos! This one could've been three hours long and I would've watched the whole thing.

[@PumpkinFinch]

I gotta read Kin, you and I have same feelings about Kill Creek so I’m wanting to try Kin since you love it. Also need camp slaughter in my life, slashers forever.

[@RivetingReads]

Your glasses are so cute!

[@ElizabethSagewood]

This video cracked me up. I really want to get to Camp Slaughter this summer

[@cheyennepeterson5142]

Omg hello maaam, where are your glasses from?? ☺️ I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel!

[@divannaviton5488]

Yes queen! I love your personality! Definitely subscribing :)

[@karamiddleton2920]

I love your glasses!! I also love and need that cops of The Girl Next Door. The cover is 👌👌👌!! However, In an ebook person. I dunno, it just might be the case that I love the cover so much and I need to buy it. Is it a Canadian cover though? Edit: oops, it's like $38!! No thank you. 😳

[@miriamgomez9296]

Loved your video I like little bit of horror not to much but still like to see what read I enjoy more thrillers anyway thank you And I loved how you look with the glasses is you 🦋🦋👍😇👏

[@ghostinthepages6628]

So many good recommendations! And I adore Sergio Gomez!

[@brittbratt33]

You would convince me to buy and eat a turd. 🤣🤣 I absolutely loveeeee your videos. I've added so many mf'n books to my amazon list. Yesssss I love it! Thank you for being you. ❤️❤️

[@mk_beau]

Okay.. subscribed. You’re so funny 😆

[@jennyjumpjump]

Best decision ever. She has me in tears laughing 🤣

[@drax17]

You are so friggin hilarious !! This made my morning ❤️

[@effloress]

"What's not to love about the decimated, decomposing ghost of a young girl rising from a murky lake to come fucking get you and yours." Bitch, I am SOLD. 🖤

[@codeinesnaps]

Can we talk about the prologue of CAMP SLAUGHTER THO!!!!

[@McGinest]

What did you think of Gilded Needles by Mcdowell? I loved that one. My favorite horror novel is still It by Stephen King. It's long as fuck and the infamous scene with Beverly and the Losers is very troublesome but I still remember reading that book when I was in high school and being afraid to turn out the lights at night. You are awesome Jordaline! Another fantastic video!

[@AnnaHerrington]

I'm sorry that I missed most of your live video. Work called!

[@RakiOsrez]

I’m really enjoying the Tales From the Gas Station by Jack Townsend. It’s apparently based on the creepy pastas he wrote? I’m not too familiar with creepy pasta. Anyway, don’t expect greatness from these books, it’s just a fun easy read.

[@wennintime3815]

Speaking of recommendations... have you read Blood Cruise by Mats Strandberg? Awesome blood fest. Highly recommend.

[@JordalineReads]

No, but im now looking into it! 💖

[@JordalineReads]

Okay I bought blood cruise 😂😂

[@wennintime3815]

@@JordalineReads yes!! You're gonna love it!

[@anissarosario22]

We need part 2 asap🤭😍

[@lani6700]

It's not even technically horror, but I swear No Exit by Taylor Adams is more intense than like,,, 90% of horror I've read so I'm gonna call it my favorite honorary horror

[@chelsea2059]

It was so fast paced! I recommend it to everyone lol

[@user-vr9dm9sb1v]

My name is Lynne this is hands down my favorite book read it in one sitting so faced pace. They were supposed to be making a movie out of this and I hope they still do. I will buy every book he writes and he did a book called Eyeshot really good too. Happy Reading :)

[@Corbin007]

I have to ask! Have you read Brother by Ania Ahlborn?

[@naveenghayas865]

I really enjoyed cold moon over babylon.🌑🕯️

[@alexsitar4163]

I remember the older videos!!!

[@codeinesnaps]

We love a good swatched hand!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Camp Slaughter... YES!

[@ladystark9652]

Into Hell by James Roy Daley was seriously the weirdest and creepiest book I've read in awhile. I don't ever hear about it and I honestly don't know what to think about it either. Well I do think about it still but you know how that goes...almost like The Girl Next Door, just messed up. 😆

[@brxndygee]

Michael McDowell’s books are *chefs kiss”

[@matthewbenge7112]

Love the look.✌🏻🤍

[@JordalineReads]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. You know, it's just how I wake up. 😂😂❤

[@codeinesnaps]

Holy sht I forgot about the rebirth scene! biitch!

[@DrDespicable]

Nice to see Jack Ketchum getting some love - for some reason, I rarely see him getting much mention, and that's a tragedy, indeed. If you haven't already, check out his short work - PEACEABLE KINGDOM is an extraordinary collection!

[@susanburgess820]

I think i know why mr ketchum wrote about sylvia likens. So people all over the world and across america would never ever forget what happened to that poor sweet innocent girl. May every one of those perps, yes even those kids who said nothing, rot in hell. And i pray to god that every single one involved have gotten the worst karma, still being dished out in spades.😠😠😠🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😠😠😠🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@debraalfano2851]

Just started Kin and 20 pages in I already want to throw up and I love it!!

[@ang6482]

Waiting for part 2

[@alliestrauss]

I am saving every book on my scribd app as I watch this video 😅

[@christinelagueux8155]

I still haven't read Elementals and I kid you not this book always falls off my bookshelf. I think he is telling to read it

[@susanburgess820]

I cannot read mr ketchum's book, nor see the various movies, what was done to a sweet little girl, sylvia likens. I cant even imagine such evil actually happening...big sigh...oh yes i can...😠😠😠😠😠😔😔😔😔😔🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😔😔😔🍰😔😠😠😠😠😠

[@amberrhea5293]

The Devil All The Time is the best I've read recently.

[@AdrianStoneisdead]

Donald Ray Pollack is one of the finest unknown writers to crawl outta a creek and the holler it runs through to kicks the shirt outta anyone who gives him and his guff. Check out his story collection Knockemstiff and then read a friend of his,.Daniel Woodrell, who's Winter's Bone will stir your heart into a whiskey and nicotine slury within the flask you once thought as your liver. Life will never be the same. Wasn't for me.

[@stevencarsley2446]

Looking Ford next video

[@codeinesnaps]

Camp Slaughter ending infuriated me tho! but it was 4 stars!

[@AmazingMavis]

Those glasses 🔥

[@JordalineReads]

Aw thank you!! 😘😘😘

[@RavenGirl333]

Yes those glasses look so beautiful on you!

[@MsAbbacrab]

I like the glasses.

[@susanburgess820]

Please forgive the pie emoji, my finger obviously hit the wrong one.😏😏😏😏😏😏😏

[@stephaniemoon6528]

The Girl Next Door is a 5 out of 5 for me. The story is absolutely terrible but the book is so good. Is good even the word for it considering how gut wrenching it was? lol idk how else to describe it haha

[@jamiemayfield3151]

Very big Michael McDowell fan. Have you read the Blackwater Saga? I mean, hands down the best horror novel ever written, and that is not my opinion, that is science. 9 out of 10 scientist agree Blackwater is the best and those 9 viciously murdered that 10th scientist so really 9 out of 9 scientists agree. 10 out of 10 dentist agree too.

[@amberballard6754]

I want you to know I hit subscribe at 2:41 seconds just based on the first things first I’m the realest comment 😂😂😂 I cannot say first things first without that ending Like ever lol You’re cool and stuff 😎

[@KatieColson]

Omg your personality is E L I T E

[@nrdywrdy]

My main takeaway from this video is that I need to finally read some fuckin Michael McDowell

[@codeinesnaps]

Do a live talkin about KIN!

[@sh4577]

Did Ketchum like, totally go against the family’s wishes and decided to write this book instead even though they asked him not to? I thought there was some really shitty drama going on there. I could be wrong!

[@alf.2929]

And they had no problem that John Dean wrote about the actual events in "House of Evil: The Indiana Torture Slaying?"

[@sh4577]

@@alf.2929 I don’t know, that’s why it was a question. Did that actually happen with Ketchum? Do you know? I heard it on another vlog or on Goodreads, can’t remember where.

[@sh4577]

Maybe it was the difference between a nonfiction book and a fiction version that was the issue? I don’t know.

[@rosiejennapsych]

You look amazing 🥺😍

Hi have you hard of Emma Giordano from emmabooks on you tube

[@aerisyacalis2580]

When talking about Amulet I thought you were going to say people immediately turn homosexual (not homicidal). 🤣 I need sleep.

[@ang6482]

Kin was the sickest🤢 could not put it down!!

[@ddra105]

I think that video is how I discovered you

Your are 🥵 Love your videos

[@KaylasBestie]

I found you a couple of years ago. I enjoy your selections and have read some great books by you .... but sometimes, I just want you 2 get 2 the point. I have 2 watch your videos when I'm in that zone. This is more of on me. I've seen enough of your videos where you're not always 'on.' Believe it not, I'm still a fan and will continue to recommend your videos based on ur books, but watching ur videos, I have 2 b n that zone.
