Most Anticipated Horror for 2023 | 20 Books!

[@ReginasHauntedLibrary]

I appreciate your comments about Grady Hendrix. I'm looking forward to that one, plus a few others on your list. I do enjoy a good haunted house story.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thanks. While his books are rarely 5 Stars for me... I still have so much respect for what he does for the genre

[@jamieserrano827]

Also the title of that V Castro book Alejandra means Alexandra the J is pronounced like an h

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Ah thank you. Normally I get my Latino friends to fact check me but this video was filmed in a bit of a rush

[@KadyAz17]

I had quite a few of these on my radar, but The Spite House sounds amazing! I'm most excited for the Christopher Golden and V. Castro releases. I love this type of video, thanks for sharing 2023 releases with us!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I hope they all turn out to be amazing!

[@SybilBrand1969]

Love your video and can’t wait for their releases.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thanks ...not too much longer for the January releases!

[@elizabeth.n1187]

I am so freaking excited for how to sell a haunted house. His humor and horror blend without coming off like a cheesy b rated movie is just chef kisses to me.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I'm hearing good things in the early review

[@smart5615]

Satanic panic my best friends exorcism and Mohawkare all Grady Hendrix movies 🎉

[@Weirder_the_better]

I'm so excited for so many of these. I was so excited when I won an ARC of The Spite House from a Goodreads giveaway, haha. Can't wait to start reading it!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I hope we both enjoy it

[@LauraWrites]

My most anticipated is Delicious Monsters - it’s by a Canadian - Liselle Sambury. It has the investigating a haunted house trope. Also, have you read Surrender Your Sons? It’s also a horror/thriller at a conversion camp.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh wow... I haven't heard of that one... thanks for the heads up... and bonus points for Canadian lit!

[@NatalieGO]

Thank you for this great video. Adding books to my tbr asap. 😊

[@kelliebennett9932]

I read The Nightmare Man and it is awesome!!!! Super creepy!!!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

It sounds so good!

[@bjlowe85]

Wow thank you for this list they all sound great. Awesome video as always

[@tj5087]

Great list! Spite House, How to Sell a Haunted House, and Pinata are my most anticipated reads for next year

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Nice!

[@rattybabby]

Very excited for alot of these!

[@MissEllaReads]

Oh im so excited for so many of these! That cove for All Hallows is pretty cool!

[@scottgage6498]

Another great video! Thank you. I noticed Tender is the Flesh in the background. I recently finished it for the first time. Wow! What an amazing book.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Agreed! Such a good one

[@rysenshyne3805]

Awesome list!

[@meridithcurran3092]

They all look so good. 😁

[@fiberartsyreads]

Lots to look forward to!

[@candicebarbata5028]

The Nightmare Man, How to Sell a Haunted House and The Insatiable Volt Sisters sound too good to pass up! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on all of the books 📖👻🏚

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I hope they all deliver!

[@WandasBestLife]

I'm glad you mentioned Episode Thirteen. I've loved a couple of his books and can't wait to read this new one. You're the first person I've seen mention it. I also can't wait for How To Sell A Haunted House!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I'm excited for it! The premise sounds great

[@danieldelappe7830]

I am looking forward to Sisters of a Lost Nation. The real world subject is very interesting

[@Yvette.T]

I had Goodreads open while watching your video and MANY of these were added! Thanks Rachel 🖤📚

[@TheShadesofOrange]

That's awesome

[@JulyMoon82]

All of free books sound so good. I'm going to have to put a few on my TBR list. Thank you.

[@artofawr]

Blind Spots! Really cool concept. I love sci fi horror. Great Recs!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yes I think it sounds cool!

[@nevskislake]

Thank you so much for this video! The Nightmare Man, All Hallows, Vampire Weekend, Mothered, Blind Spots, and Cuckoo are now on my TBR.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I hope we both enjoy them!

[@christinapilkington8732]

Thanks so much for sharing about all these great books! I added many of these to my Goodreads shelf 🙂 I look forward to your sci-fi list!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Should be out next week!

[@FrostaWingsIt]

I’m so excited for these releases!! 2023 is up to a great start!! I wish I could get paid to stay home and read for a year straight! Ahha!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Haha... me too!

[@mikeptheoldbookworm.4751]

Nice video. Saves me a lot of searching :) Will probably by " Bad Cree" and "Sister of the lost natiomn". Will wait for your reviews for "All Hallows" and "The nightmare man". 😀

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Haha yeah I'm hoping it can be a resource

[@spectralmusings6244]

Just pre-ordered Episode Thirteen. Haunted house stories are a favourite trope of mine. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I hope we both enjoy it!

[@Steffi74ify]

Wow! I think my October 2023 TBR is set with this list! Really looking forward to Grady Hendrix (I'll probably read that one asap, and not wait until "spooky" season ;) ). I'm always on the lookout for more Indigenous horror, too. Haunted house stories may not be your fave, so thanks for suggesting the ones here because I love them!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Glad this was helpful

[@awpageofabook]

I always want to read more horror, so this video is perfect! I'm personally excited for They Fade Away by Alex Armoredes and The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh I didn't know Cassandra Khaw had another book!

[@alexandrakeckmontanari5180]

These look good essp Blind spots!

[@Asmrmii]

All of them sounds amazing. Tbr EXPANSION

[@krisprepolec5616]

Super excited for Episode Thirteen. Craig DiLouie is a fellow Canadian (and friend), and I am so pleased to see him on your list :-)

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh that's so cool that you know the author!

[@cindywingetbooks]

The new Brady Hendrix is the only book I have heard of on this list. So many of these sound good! I will have to go back through this video and write them down 😉

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Hope it's a good resource!

[@joinbookland]

Some promisng titles and it's great to see some new to me authors included in the list!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I hope they deliver

[@freddydanken2317]

Yes, my list gets bigger. going for The Nighmare Man and How to sell a haunted house! At this moment i'm reading "Thirteen Storeys", a freaky ghost story about a building in London. Pretty Good.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh I've heard about that book. It sounds good

[@chrisconnors7418]

The only way I know what is coming out is from your videos. Nearly all of the books mentioned caught my interest. I was getting the anticipation butterflies as you went through them. Sometimes I think I might live a long long time because I won’t want to die until I’ve read next year’s upcoming crop of books. :)

[@cindywingetbooks]

I feel the same way!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh thank you and I hope they deliver. And yes good motivation to stay healthy lol

[@mariajose0320]

You have to read our share of night. I did in spanish. And is a 5 🌟 🤩 love it

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I hope it's 5 Stars for me too

[@sharath_95]

Thank you for these deep researched recs, very informative love it 🤗💙

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Hope it's helpful

[@alynam82]

There's nothing coming up that I can say I'm absolutely busting for, however I do plan to read My Heart/Chainsaw soon in anticipation for his sequel. I'm hesitant about it though, because the reviews are mixed, and I know with his writing style, it took me a bit before I felt engaged with the story when I read Only Good Indian. T. Kingfisher, I guess I'm interested in reading more by her. I read and enjoy The Hollowed Ones last year, so I think I'll have fun with her new release.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yeah I'm trying to temper my hype for next year since this year has been rough 😅

[@Priscilla_Bettis]

How to Sell a Haunted House is such a fun title. These books sound wonderful! I'd especially like to dig into The Spite House.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I know! Hendrix always has the best titles

[@Florida882]

I’d say anything by Grady Hendrix I’m excited for. I don’t know… I really like the premise of the books by that author

[@lovelight6973]

You should try to sign up for netgalley. I know e-arcs aren't always fun but a lot of these titles are in that galley. And since you have a platform to talk about the books and you're such a fast reader. I know you get early e-arcs. Some of these I have already. I have Mothered and the haunting of Alejandra and a few others I think that you mentioned. I'm hoping that next year will be a better year for books. It just seems like a lot of the big books this year were big letdowns for a lot of readers on KZbin and a few for myself.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh yes Netgalley is great. I just get eye strain from reading too much on screens

[@lovelight6973]

@@TheShadesofOrange lol 😂 yeah Im getting that too. LOL.

[@susanmctavish6639]

I'm trying to remember a book you mentioned where the cover is a girls legs and feet are entangled in vines or branches.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Hmm I'm not sure...

[@Oilbleak5453]

You might cover this in your sci-fi video, but I’m looking forward to Paradise-1 by David Wellington (Orbit Books, 4/4/23). The synopsis reads like it’s a space horror / mystery, kinda similar to Pandorum.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I just filmed the video but I didn't see that one online... thanks for the heads up

[@lesleyspear7933]

I’m not a thriller fan but Blind Spots sounds amazing

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I agree!

[@887frodo]

Alejandra is pronounced like Alexandra but the x reads as the h in ham. Ale-han-dra. I read Goddess of Filth by Castro and wasn’t my thing. Let’s hope this one is.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Thank you! I normally check with my Spanish speaking friends but this film session was a bit last minute

[@StormReads]

I haven't been looking yet, so haven't heard of a lot of these. I do have an eARC of The Nightmare Man so hope it's a decent read 🤞.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I hope it's good!

[@susanmctavish6639]

Found it. Beneath by Kristi Demeester.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Ahh yes!

[@laluzmala]

Confused but happy to see a Tingle between horror books

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yeah I didn't know anything about that author until after I filmed. I was confused 😄

[@laluzmala]

@@TheShadesofOrange I haven't read his books but have been following him in on Twitter for a while - the man is a delight. I'm def excited for this one!

[@jessicamou]

Blind Spots sounds super interesting buuuuuuuuut I have a bad feeling that the choice of the protagonist...detectives and apocalypse is not a good combo for me. I guess I will wait for your review lol.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Haha you might be right

[@audreyreadz]

I have to discover Grady Hendrix !

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I hoe you love him!

So many good books coming out next year. Really looking forward to Grady Hendrix, T. Kingfisher, and V. Castro. 🔪🏠👻👑🐠🇲🇽👍

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Excellent picks!

[@Super00Specs]

I love a paranormal investigator story. I don't care of the costs turn out to be real or not, I'm just into the trope (probably bc I am a sceptic but I wish I wasn't.)

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yes the trope is just really fun!

[@paulflint6254]

Looking forward to Ronald Malfi - Ghostwritten, getting it tomorrow

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yes! I'm excited to check that one out

[@kaiju_k5042]

Per "Don't Fear the Reaper" it would be nice not to know spoilers for book 1 in your bit about book 2.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I'm sorry those felt like spoilers. I feel like every slasher sequel has the same setup

[@kaiju_k5042]

@@TheShadesofOrange Thanks, I feel like if you read book one it's a fun set up to read or hear, otherwise if you haven't then it's like nooo don't tell me lol. I just got the 1st book so really looking forward to it :)

[@jamieserrano827]

You are correct in thinking that indigenous women go missing easily not just in Canada but in the United States as well so it’s a North American problem

[@TheShadesofOrange]

So sad. As I said that, I figured this sad statistics isn't probably limited to Canada

[@fiberartsyreads]

Lots to look forward to!
