the "BEST" Horror books according to Goodreads?? 👩🏻‍⚖️ 🤔

[@GothicBookLover]

Horror is a general term for such a complex genre. I tend to prefer reading a book first before I even read reviews about it because I want to form my own opinion first and I tend to always not agree with a lot of Booktubers nor Goodread reviews. Usually they tend to be echo chambers a lot of the time...imho

[@ashlyncook8657]

Speaking of Mona Awad, I saw her on her last day of her tour and she announced a Bunny prequel that she is working on right now. I was wondering if you knew because I heard her first from her!

[@LizReadsABunch]

Just read Monstrilio for the Literally Dead Book Club and it was PHENOMENAL. It's kind of slow and more of a literary horror than actual spooky scary horror, but it's so fantastic and sad and beautiful.

[@jColson8819]

This would be a stretch but “Tender Is The Flesh” was translated into English in 2020. I didn’t see that on the list. Bummer, because your recommendation of it was flawless. Truly horrific! 📼

[@Hillary429]

Lol first Kim in the Live Chat now another Colson in the comments! The whole family is obsessed 💞

[@jaimee-kate]

Horror is truly one the most wild genres. There's so many different types and the ratings are always all over the place, but this was a great video :) 📼

[@ffiontill5924]

Has Rouge reading vlog been uploaded? I need to hear Katie’s thoughts❤️🩸

[@gabbyreads]

Love this video!! It was so fun to see you guess what would be on the list and then see if you’re right! I feel like you should do this again for the goodreads choice awards coming up soon! 😍 also some of those books are definitely more thriller than horror so what the heck 👀

[@VeraFran]

📼I was planning on checking the list later😊. I think the "popular" in Goodreads language is either most read or most added to tbr lists, which would explain Hide and some other books. We crazy reader beings tend to add books to our tbr and leave them there. So tbr + read (no matter the rating) = how popular a book is.

[@MeMyshelfAndI]

just fyi-- I think they actually compile the lists by using readers' *Want to Read* shelf. I don't think a human actually does any curation or number of readers/rating are taken into account.

[@Showtunediva]

Hi Katie, I am reading The Hacienda right now and totally agree with you that the pacing is too slow.

[@jeremyweitendorf6723]

I love Iain Reid!! Foe is one of my favorite books, and We Spread was also really good

[@leacampbell2969]

Liked this video before even hitting play because we’ve been itching for a video like this! Thank you K!! 🤍🎃

[@marshalmallow7192]

The Return is absolutely incredible

[@lovekatie3528]

you now have met TWO people who loved Hide. it was for sure in my top 10 last year

[@PiaLaPlaca]

girl you are putting us all to shame, your editing is on POINT in this video!!📼

[@eliseelliot]

I am so confused that some people have said that Lone Women isn't horror, because it was VERY much horror to me! I mean, it's horror with a message, but uh, yeah, I definitely think it's horror? That list was wild - so many big hits and so many big misses.

[@Silverraine1]

Lone Women is definitely horror, it made me so anxious I had to take a break twice and still haven't finished it!

[@katb7201]

I gave The Haunting of Alejandra and Maeve Fly both 5 stars. Loved them so much

[@KittyxKult]

Hide is one of my favorite horror books of all time lol, it combined fun slasher with deeper commentary about childhood and generational trauma and systemic abuse. Dead Silence was also a lot of fun.

[@sassysarahreads]

I’ve read 22 of the books. I know some people hated The Return, but I loved it and think about it often. I read it when we first went on lockdown and I remembering reading it on my phone in the dark. So good!!!

[@CraftingVicky]

Loved knowing your opinion on the list 📼👁️

[@Bookworm_smanff]

📼 Thanks as always Katie xx

[@chioreadsbooks]

Where did you get that print of just like home?

[@michlalala]

Not there literally being a House of Leaves ad from KZbin in this video.

[@librarygoblin94]

I think you'll love Maeve Fly! It was WILD! Very Mona Awad vibes.

[@louise5493]

I’m a Catriona Ward STAN but agree, sundial started so well but that ending was just so unbelievable, I just couldn’t buy it! You have convinced me to try Just Like Mother!😁

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Gotta love horror books I have so many to get to in my collection 👻📚🪦☕🦇☠️🎃🤡

[@Littlemermaidbooks]

Hide needs to be yeeted off that list pronto 📼📼

[@booknerd369]

Just getting into Katie’s channel, so I know I’m late, but my wife was asked to read Manhunt prior to publishing and she hated it so much she dnf’d 😂

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

Vampires of El Norte is a Western Historical Romance not Horror 😉 they mis-marketed that on BOTM... or everywhere apparently lol

[@rose-coloredbookworm]

I highly recommend you to read Monstrilio. Its amazing!! And queeeeerrr and weiiirddd its one of my faves of the year (and Kayla from Booksandlala gave it 5 stars to soooooo, just saying)

[@ladysayah]

Another excellent video ❤

[@bookishbowen]

📼 Love the random impromptu videos like this.

[@AwkwardBookworm]

Lol not the minion 😂

[@drewb7507]

SISTERS OF THE LOST NATION IS SOOOOOO GOOD!

[@CharlestonSocietyOfHorror]

The Bone Orchard is totally worth reading! It’s the type of book where you do not know what the hell is going on for so much of the book though lol

[@CodexPotter]

What why dont people like my heart is a chainsaw and dont fear the reaper? I frickin love them!

[@glittergirl12341]

I gave Hide and The looking glass sound 4 stars lmao I loves both of them

[@agirlfrommars3441]

I wish BOTM shipped internationally 😢

[@bookedplans]

I can't believe Hide is on this list wtf it was so bad! BUT I will say that her new book Mister Magic was actually good!

[@LizReadsABunch]

Dead Silence is pretty good but it's definitely heavy on the sci-fi. I would still call it primarily horror I think. If I'm honest I don't think you'd like it though 😬

[@cparliam]

📼 Dead Eleven was good.

[@denisedarden13]

Video idea read books from this video that you have not read but really want to.📼

[@Magicwaves-]

3..2..1..Blast Off!

[@heatherlandis9341]

Have you stopped the "what I read in (insert month)" videos or am I missing them????

[@Kritz_Reads]

📼📼 pretty much anything you said you hadn't heard of....neither had I

[@SkyeThreepwood]

So many books that aren´t horror or more mediocre but Dead Silence ist worth a read but its more a sci-fi horror/thriller.

[@swankscares]

📼 Look! Dancing bunnies! 👯

[@MeMyshelfAndI]

The Bone Orchard is a Fantasy, not a Horror. But it was my favourite book of last year until Babel came along.

[@Steph_W]

Whaaa no Dowry of Blood??? 👁️

[@savagejazz4958]

I read dead eleven and its probably my favorite read couldnt put it down 📼👁

[@kaileipalmeroni5483]

I read small favors and would not consider it horror though. It had "the village" vibes

[@lorenamunguia-cortez9368]

I'd love for you to read Hidden Pictures! I dont agree with what people say about the plot twist, but that's my opinion.
