[@karamarie6781]

I hope your kitty is ok! I love cats. I subscribed-love your channel!

[@horror-sickness]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@AShythe]

Excellent! My boss came to work one night and handed me a whole bag of Richard Laymon books. I'd never heard of him. It took me a few years to get to them but I'm reading them now. I like them. Very dark, graphic and fast-paced.

[@horror-sickness]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn best boss like ever!!! It was the same for me. I just discovered him through Endless Night and loved it so much I started ordering all of his other books.

[@TheBookubus]

Awesome haul! I loved Haunted and The Troop. I saw Chuck Palahniuk on the Haunted tour (some years ago lol), he read the story Guts which was awesome, then met him afterwards and he was so lovely :)

[@horror-sickness]

Ohhh you so lucky you got to meet him. So many people have read The Troop already i feel like I need to make this a priority 😅

[@catarinathebookworm]

Let the right one in is amazing I believe you will love it!!!

[@horror-sickness]

I am so pumped to read it this year!!! I have heard is way better than the movie and I really did enjoy the original movie.

[@FrankFulci]

I haven't read anything in months, but I finally saw one in your haul that I DID read... The Troop! It is amazing and you will definitely enjoy all of the gruesome detail that Nick Cutter puts into it!

[@horror-sickness]

I can not wait to get to it. Everyone says it is disgusting and uncomfortable to read so it should be my jam LOL

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Yay for new books! I love buying secondhand and I am glad you were able to find some good finds, and some new horror books to enjoy as well. I think I have the invisible library too and I am so excited to give the series a try. I loved eleanor oliphant back when I read it, so I am excited to see what you will make of it. You know how I feel about vampires and I remember you telling me about nightflyer because I was shocked RR Martin had a vampire novel! It's good that you are curious enough to try controverisal books - I am much the same as well :P

[@horror-sickness]

The invisible library is a series I always wanted to start so now that I have the first book I have no excuse. Since Eleanor Oliphant was also a present I feel like I need to read it this year as well and I also have only heard good things about it. The vampire novel is Fevre Dream if you want to check it out. Nighflyers is a scifi/horror. Sometimes when opinios are super divided on the community I feel compelled to check out the book to see what is all about...I am too curious 😂

[@mindysbookjourney]

I have Let the Right One In on my TBR as well. I watched both adaptations and loved them. The Troop was disgusting but awesome. The Locke and Key series is so amazing. It is my favorite graphic novel series.

[@horror-sickness]

I never watched the US remake but I eventually think I will give it a try. I am going to try and finish reading Locke and Key as soon as possible because I really want to see the Netflix show.

[@kassit8833]

Yes, a lot of body horror in The Troop, but it’s so good!

[@horror-sickness]

I am definitely excited to read it!! I know it got so nasty for some people when they were reading it! 🙈

[@biblioobscura]

Great haul! Let the Right One In is one of the best translated novels I've ever read & it has a super satisfying ending. Don't be put off by the size! It's so worth it!!!! :)

[@horror-sickness]

Yeah I thik the size is what always has me scared of it. But I really want to read it. I enjoyed the original movie so much and even though I have heard the book is very different, I want to give it a try.

[@biblioobscura]

@@horror-sickness I've read it and various Frankenstein retellings so much that I'm totally biased towards it! If you do like it, I'll tell you all the retellings to read after! :)

[@TumbleFourYa]

Hey, don't EVER feel bad or feel like you need to explain yourself for buying books secondhand. I know Booktube is really about those new, pristine hardbacks, but that's not always practical -- when you buy secondhand, you get more bang for your buck and you're saving trees. It's a win-win!😊 TerrorVisión sounds so interesting! I took Spanish for five semesters in high school, but I live in a pretty white part of the US (😂) so unfortunately I don't get to practice that often and I'm forgetting a lot of stuff. I hope there's an English translation available soon! I'm also interested in Spellbook of the Lost and Found. I've heard mixed reviews about it and I'd love to hear what you think when you finish it! I'm sorry to hear about your cats. I hope everything is okay now💕

[@horror-sickness]

Yes!!! I need to watch my finances at the moment after all that happened in January (basically ended up with a nearly 5000€ debt) so it is also convenient for me to get second hand books. Also most of the good old horror books I want are only available second hand so....win-win as well. I have not read a witchy book in some time, so I hope to get to Spellbook of the Lost and Found this year.

[@JasonsWeirdReads]

I want to read read Ninth House for very much similar reasons as you do. I love Dawn of the Dead! I want to read the book! I also want a Dawn of the Dead shirt!! The Troop definitely has body horror in it. It’s great!

[@horror-sickness]

All the people that were in my buddy read group for Ninth House hated it 😂😂 but some people did love it according to Goodreads so you still have a small change of enjoying it LOL The Troop has to be in one of my next TBR piles because I feel like everyone has read it but me

[@krakentoagoodbook]

Let the Right One In was pretty good overall from what I remember. I hope you enjoy The Invisible Library! :D Oh wow, TerrorVision sounds and looks fantastic. I haven't actually heard of Trial by Fire/Fire Walker. Woah, the naked hardcover looks so great! Spellbook of the Lost and Found seems kinda interesting. I can't decide about The Starless Sea! I really liked The Night Circus, but I'm hesitant to pick up The Starless Sea for some reason. Haha oh Ninth House. xD I've heard great things about Frozen Charlotte! I also want to read that one. I remember liking Dark Oracle when I read it! I love some of those old covers on all these books you bought. I should really try out Locke & Key lol.

[@horror-sickness]

Thanks again for sending me a book this last Christmas ❤ You the fantasy expert should give Trial by Fire a chance. I hope you enjoy it if you pick it up! I will try to read The Starless Sea soonish lol so I can let you guys know what I think about it. I am hoping to enjoy it since I really liked The Night Circus Locke&Key is pretty graphic so if you do not mind blood and a bit of gore, I really recommend picking it up

[@krakentoagoodbook]

@@horror-sickness You're so welcome! And thanks for Not Even Bones again! :D Haha I really should try it! Ooh, yes please. I definitely want to hear your thoughts on it. It seems to be more confusing than The Night Circus I guess? I think I should be fine with that, but maybe I'll try the first volume from my library just in case!

[@horror-sickness]

@@krakentoagoodbook Since we are in isolation I hope to get through some books and movies now hahaha I am not sure when I will get to The Starless Sea because I even have my April TBR nearly full hahahaha I am trying to plan so much in advance in 2020 🙈😂

[@krakentoagoodbook]

@@horror-sickness Haha yeah, same. I've read something like 19 books this month already? I'll probably try to catch up on movies too. We watched Long Shot the other day (with Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen) and it was silly.

[@danamelton1738]

So excited you found Dawn of the dead second hand I wish I could have that luck! I rarely find horror books second hand near me. I do collect any scary stories including middle grade spooky stories I have alot of luck finding middle grade or children's spooky books but not as much adult horror. Great haul!!! 🖤🔪🖤🔪🖤

[@horror-sickness]

Thank you!!!! It is also not easy for me to find them because in Germany we do not have many second hand books and mostly is all german so I tend to get most of the books I want online. So i try to hunt them down online.😂

[@amandacole3073]

This video is great! Are you on bookstagram?? You have such good taste in books!

[@horror-sickness]

Thank you! I have a general instragram account, you can find it in the description box, it is basically kashawonderland

[@grimreads]

Let the right one is SO much better than the movie. If you never got the big twist of the movie (it was blink and you will miss it) you will be surprised. The Cellar is one of my favourite extreme horror novels. Midnight tour is its second sequel and so-so. Beast house is book 2 and there is a novella I have yet to read, I think it is Friday Night at the Beast House. I am planning a reread of the cellar, so we could have a readalong. The woods are dark has a weird history (I think it was heavily censored and his daughter had a restored version later on) and I made a mixed review for No Sanctuary this Autumn, so I am looking forward to watch your opinion.

[@horror-sickness]

I am really excited to read Let the right one in!!! I did like the original movie so if the book is even better this is going to be a potential 5* for me. I feel like I need to make a proper list of all the Richard Laymon books because I want to collect them all and make sure I read them in the appropiate order 😅 I can not wait now to get to The Cellar. Will try to let you know when I pick it up! I am going to start reading The woods are dark probably between today and tomorrow so I am excited to see how I feel like. Sucks if it is censured because part of what I loved Endless Night so much is because it was just so brutal and disturbing.

[@grimreads]

@@horror-sickness The woods are dark is still brutal. Finding Richard Laymon books can be tricky, but I would suggest used copies from Amazon.co.uk (that's how I completed my omnibus collection) and anything you can find on bookdepository

[@grimreads]

@@horror-sickness another reason I was not that pleased with The Woods are Dark is because to me it felt like a more restrained "OffSeason" by Jack Ketchum - and if you are an extreme horror fan, you cannot go wrong with Ketchum

[@horror-sickness]

@@grimreads Thank you so much for the tips! I started reading the book and so far I am really loving it 🔪💀

[@horror-sickness]

@@grimreads I agree about Jack Ketchum. But I have not checked out Off Season so I guess I must now

[@sararubi18]

What's the name of that large book with the girl.on the cover on your shelf?

[@horror-sickness]

My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, the debut graphic novel of Emil Ferris. It is super beautiful and special. It is like written and drawn into a notebook.

[@sararubi18]

@@horror-sickness thank you. Just bought

[@horror-sickness]

@@sararubi18 It is really special, hope you enjoy it! ❤

[@teresarollen7425]

I read The Troop recently and yes it is full of body horror. Made me very uncomfortable reading it. It was one those books that I wanted to quit reading but couldn't. I just had to see what happened next. Be prepared to be disturbed. I still think about that book.

[@horror-sickness]

Yaaaaay for The Troop. It is so interesting that everyone I know that has read the book says the same thing. I am used to disturbing messed up stuff but I am not a bit scared to go into it hahaha
