Reading Hyped Horror Books 🧛🏻‍♂️☠️ [Reading Vlog]

[@booknerdwithlipstick]

N0S4A2 has to be pronounced Nosferatu (like the vampire) :)

[@JamesSmith-hr9cn]

The UK edition is spelt ‘NOS4R2’. Strange. They must think the British accent would affect how NOS4A2 is pronounced.

[@uptown3636]

Came to the comment section to say this very thing.

[@jessicafeeney3996]

😂😂😂 I was just going to comment this

[@cammielynnable]

It makes sense that joe hill is inspired by Stephen king, that is his dad, lol.

[@izzybookqueen534]

WHAT

[@cammielynnable]

Izzy Book Queen lol, what

[@gabbyreads]

Lamooooo yeah I didn’t know that 😅

[@cammielynnable]

gabbyreads yeah when he first started writing he wanted to establish himself as his own person so he changed his name so he wouldn’t get recognition for being Stephen Kings son. He actually didn’t come out as kings son for like 10 years or something.

[@DangerHob]

The best part of him changing his name is that he looks like a clone of his dad. 😂😂

[@vidya4788]

I think it's pronounced as Nosferatu

[@angelgarlinger6370]

Sree Vidya Sastry it is pronounced Nosferatu you’re absolutely right

[@ConstantlyKingReading]

Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son :) He’s one of my favorite authors! If you like graphic novels you should check out his series Locke and Key. It’s fantastic and was also adapted into a Netflix series!

[@keiralaub6880]

Taylor Murphy I haven’t read Joe Hill yet but I’ve read a couple books by Stephen King I’ve read Carrie and I’m currently reading Rose Madder and I’m planing on reading The Gun Slinger and Christine and also Eyes of The Dragon.

[@michellerever3564]

Hill and King reference the other`s work a lot. King's wife, other son, and a daughter in law are also writers.

[@Atzael-SMN]

Like father like son 😁

[@stephenbertino8373]

He's good. Horns is a five-star

[@teresarollen7425]

Gabby, Finally, someone else who has read The Troop!! I read The Troop a few months ago! I agree with everything you said about it. There were many times that I was gagging while reading. I kept starting to put the book down and quit reading it, but I couldn't. I had to keep reading it. The animal scenes really bothered me too. It did give me nightmares for several nights during and after reading it. It is one book that I will not ever be able to forget. One night a few days after I had finished reading the book, I fixed some soup to eat. I was sitting there eating the soup when all of a sudden that book came to mind and I quit eating and started gagging. I was eating chicken noodle soup so you can imagine what I was thinking. I had to toss the soup out. I still haven't been able to eat chicken noodle soup and it has been months.

[@gabbyreads]

Teresa Rollen oh my gosh this book is so traumatizing 🙈🙈🙈 that’s too funny I can’t even imagine trying to eat chicken noodle soup now 🥴

[@erinmaggio5620]

What animals are hurt in this book? Are they killed?

[@Mano-Wan]

OK... I'm sold on THE TROOP... Found the audiobook on Scribd and will start this week 😁

[@gabbyreads]

Mano yaaassss! Hope you enjoy 🙌🏻

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I want to read The Troop so badly... like it seems so freaking good

[@aubreyjane6659]

I really like it...but now I can't look at PVC pipes or turtles anymore so...take that as you will.

[@sashatandberg6889]

One of my favs!

[@vonneigh]

The Troop was AMAZING!

[@Nikzcyn]

The Troop is soooo terrifyingly goood! I couldn't stop reading. It's so underrated, but it will always be my all time favorite! Love it!

[@kathyarrr]

Ahhhh, I love to see Nick Cutter getting appreciation. He is the king of body horror. I read The Troop many moons ago but I am currently reading Little Heaven and it is not disappointing either.

[@courtneyschafer7487]

I struggled to physically read NOS4A2 but when I switched to the audiobook, it just came alive. Kate Mulgrew is a phenomenal narrator.

[@megs_bookrack]

Watching your reactions to The Troop makes me so happy! That is one of my favorite horror novels EVER and I had the exact same reactions as you!!! Glad you enjoyed it so much -- xo

[@BarbieandKensWorld]

Girl you are one of my favorite booktubers and you have inspired me when it came down to mystery thriller books and a lot of the books you like I also enjoy as well. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on The southern book club guide to slaying vampires. I will be getting it on my kindle. Love your video sweetie

[@laurenelizabethsreads7548]

I’m still waiting for my copy of The Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires to come in the mail 😭 you should read My Best Friend’s Exorcism by him! Its one of my favorites!

[@imthecandyqueen]

I love that book too! It’s so good!!! You should totally read it! (And it’s cover is just... the coolest:D)

[@nikirrae8495]

I’m so happy I found this channel because I’ve discovered reading vlogs 😂 something about them makes me feel calm as fuck and really inspires me to pick up my book. Subbed 🩵

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@monicapressley6086]

The Troop is definitely one of the best horror books of the last ten years. I personally really enjoy NOS4A2 but I can see why some people my not be crazy about. After seeing both you and Katie Colson's blog about The Southern Book Club's Guide To Slaying Vampires I am going to read it soon.

[@christinelagueux8155]

I can't wait to see your April wrap-up. You have read so many books this month and to see how many pages you read.

[@CandiceMarquette]

The Troop is so good and disturbing. I still remember the details two years later that’s how deep it burrows into your memory. I have the Grady book and Joe Hill in my kindle ready to fire up. I’m excited because the other book by Grady was enjoyable and I’m a brand new reader to Joe Hill.

[@kierra2208]

I hope this is the start of a new series on your channel! The Troop and NOS4A2 have been on my wishlist forever! Will definitely them read this fall now to see if I like them! I suggest you read Fireman by Joe Hill, Kill Creek by Scott Thomas, The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp, and Brother by Ania Ahlborn! I really enjoyed those!

[@Cgro2767]

Great descriptions of these and made me want to read them even more! Your reading vlogs are always so fun to watch!

[@lastlostcontinent99]

I just finished The Southern Bookclub’s Guide to Slaying Vampires and I really loved it! I’ve read all of his books thus far but Horrorstor might still be my favorite!

[@peggywilliams8229]

I LOVE GRADY HENDRIX

[@brittneyreads]

Not enough people read horror here on booktube! Pleaseeee do this again! 😻 These have all been on my TBR forever and I can’t wait to try them - NOS4A2 is scary long but I loved another book by Joe Hill so we’ll see 😂

[@vonneigh]

The Troop was absolutely amazing, and I love everything by Grady Hendrix!

[@gabireinoehl]

you’re literally the cutest person alive & i love your videos 🥺

[@gabbyreads]

Gabi Reinoehl thank you 🥺❤️

[@Inushipo]

The Troop is one of my favorite books ever!!!

[@Nikzcyn]

Woohoo! Same!

[@jamiebell101]

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the Southern Book Club guide too! I listened to the audiobook, and it was fantastic! The narration was perfect, and I agree that this book really portrays the way women were viewed in the '90s. I really enjoyed that the author allowed each of the women to come into their own and really band together. The troop was something else. I listened to the audiobook for this to and it was very gory, horrific, and I loved every second of it. I really enjoyed hearing your live reaction to what you read in the book. Personally, the most terrifying part for me was Shelly who was psychopathic, and he creeped me out more than the worms. Even though the book was told from the boys' perspective it was so graphic and suspenseful in all the best ways.

[@stevenr2291]

I love watching your videos and horror and thrillers are my favorite genre. I have The Troop and that last book you read on my TBR, super excited for the Troop not so much NOS4A2. Please do another one of these books. My favorite thriller I have read is No Exit! So good!

[@PamsShenanigans]

Take a shot every time gabby says "EEUGH" Love it! Added The Troop to my TBR!

[@TheDopestMom]

I fell in love with N0S4A2 😭🙏🏼 and it’s cute the way you are spelling out the license plate

[@miquesbookvlogs372]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I purchased “The Troop” the other day!! Can’t wait!

[@gabbyreads]

Mique's Book Club yaaaasssss! 🙌🏻

[@chanellopez3895]

Aw I wish you can upload everyday! I love your reading vlogs

[@AliceGraeupl]

I literally read all these books this month. I had the same reaction to The Troop. So disgusting, but so good!!!

[@xyhanx]

I'm listening to The Troop now. Hoping to like this!!!

[@safira7643]

Gabby: The Troop is a 5 stars Me: imma buy that book now

[@pfftthatscrazy]

I'm definitely going to watch this!! I can't wait!

[@TheBookishMom]

I really want to pick up the Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. I love the time period and southern setting, it just seems like a really interesting book!

[@rasaslase]

I haven’t read a lot of Horror. To be honest I can’t think of any I read at the moment. I don’t know if I’m ready to do that, but I would like to try someday to know for sure if that’s for me.

[@GabrielTheMagolorMain]

I know this vlog is older, but curious if you’ve checked out the NOS4A2 show? I’m planning to read the book this season, but I’ve already watched the show. I thought it was so good, and I’m glad I did first because Manx was so creepy in the show and I’m excited to picture those characters and the town while I’m reading the book. It’s worth checking out if you’re in the mood for a new creepy show, I think it was on AMC, but who knows what platforms it’s on now, shows tend to move around.

[@bookishangie]

I’m reading the southern book clubs guide right now and really enjoying it! It definitely reminds me of steel Magnolias / fried green tomatoes. I love that it’s both creepy and comedic at times

[@kelceyblue1402]

Just judging by what I saw when you showed the chapter stopping abruptly.. I think the end of the sentence might be the title of the next chapter. Also, I’m excited and hopeful for you to read House of Leaves and hear your opinion.

[@Florida882]

I read all those. Just finished southern book club. My favorite was the troop. Definitely some power authors there. Great blog

[@gkkkkk96]

THE TROOP AND The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires WERE SO GOOD!!! GABBY GREAT PICKS! IM READING A GOOD MARRIAGE NOW!

[@javiermorales5106]

Love your reading vlogs!! I am so going to read The Troop after watching this video!!! Thank you!!

[@GwendolynKensinger]

I officially had to take The Troop off my wish list because I don't think I can stomach the animal abuse scenes. However, I'm still interested in The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. Great vlog :)

[@katerinas4976]

NOS4A2 is also a tv show. I’ve seen the show and loved it, made me want to read the book to continue the story!

[@Rachelandmarley]

Charlie Manx & Bing Partridge are 2 of my fave villains, I loved NOS4A2

[@natgant8280]

I can’t wait to read these!!! Wow they all sound so good

[@theblondebooknerd472]

The Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires sounds so good 😍

[@ginniereads]

I have been watching your most recent videos and hear you talk about The Troop being a favorite. I have been looking for the video where you read it, found it and now I am SOLD> I added it to my Amazon wishlist! I was also curious about The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. I love me a good vampire story, especially if they are actual vampires and not sparkly ones... 😂 I am trying to dive back into the horror world, so this video was a great help. I shall start with The Troop soon. I think I'll even make a vlog on it too. I have been watching your videos for awhile and know that if you recommend something, it must be good. 😘

[@beautygeek718]

I want to venture more into thrillers and eventually horrors, but for now, I live it vicariously through you haha.

[@TurningPages90]

Great reading vlog! I’ve added both the southern book club and the troop to my amazon basket :-) (PS - as the other commenters are saying, Joe Hill is Stephen Kings son)

[@brewsbinds7975]

Ahh I hope I didn’t overhype NOS4A2 for you! Perhaps reading with a bunch of other people added to my enjoyment of it. Glad I got to read and discuss Southern Book Clubs Guide with you, and I’m sooo going to read The Troop in May! 😬

[@gabbyreads]

Brews & Binds no definitely not, I just didn’t connect with the story the way I was hoping to! I hope you enjoy The Troop! 😌

[@nicgray3582]

I liked Nos4a2 and loved The Troop. The Deep by Nick Cutter is great as well. Another super freaky book is Suffer the Children by Craig DiLouie!!

[@dcbeck1991]

Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix is soooo good. It read just like a horror movie and it was so scary!

[@megslibrary]

Hayy ! I’ve been watching you and Jacqueline for a while now and you both seem to have very similar taste to me ! If you want a horror book that’s gonna make you feel uncomfortable and action packed pick up The Jigsaw Man by Gord Rollo. I read it at night and felt completely... disturbed. It’s not a known book but I can say for certain you won’t regret it. Good luck and definitely putting two of these on my tbr.

[@shayydeniece]

I'm pretty sure with nos4a2 the sentences that stop midsentence are finished with the next chapter title. At least that's how I read it. Overall I wasn't a fan of this one idk why it's so hyped. Well actually I take that back it's because it's Stephen King's son.

[@stephc9934]

I love your channel! Please do more horror books. I also want to get into this type of genre. By the way what type of glasses do you have, I see they are Rayban but what style? Please let me know! Thank you!

[@CozyGamer92]

Yesss your reading vlogs are 👌👌👌

[@HNGuthrie]

Nosferatu is a classic early horror film. I haven't read N0S4A2, but I'm interested to read it and see if it has alludes to themes or other elements of the film.

[@herbivorehaunts]

since you liked Southern Book Clubs guide I’d recommend you check out “My Best Friends Exorcism”, by the same author. Same blend of horror and wonderful female friendship themes!

[@herbivorehaunts]

also, if you were interested in giving Joe Hill another shot, Horns is shorter in length and one of my favorites of his! He’s also got two short story collections, his newest one Full Throttle was a good blend of horror and dark fantasy short stories!

[@carsononeill8501]

So stoked to read The Troop now

[@ghostlyjas3791]

I recommend Clive Barker! He is a brilliant writer and his stories stick with me

[@kristybaptist8562]

If you want to give Joe Hill another try, I recommend Heart Shaped Box. I absolutely love that book, so much that I re-read it every couple years. I don’t think any of his other novels measure up, though his short story collection, 20th Century Ghosts has some definite bright spots.

[@melbindsfics]

Great reading vlog. It's awesome seeing your horror reading journey. Great picks for your first horror center vlog. I really enjoyed The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. It's made me feel all the emotions. Love Grady's writing. Check out My Best Friend's Exorcist if you like his writing. Really loved that one also by him. The Troop was so disturbing and I loved it. It made me feel so uncomfortable. His book The Deep is also really creepy. It's more of aquatic horror. Really enjoyed his writting. Yeah one thing about Joe Hill writing is a hit or a miss. I enjoyed N0S4A2 but it's not for everyone. The name of the book is a play on the classic vampire Nosferatu of the silent film. Maybe you will enjoy Heart-Shape box by him. Really enjoyed that one more and was super creepy. A lot of people say his best work is Locke & Key his graphic novel series. I really enjoyed it. Very unique.

[@MoniqueChambers]

@gabbyreads I’m reading nos4a2 right now I’m on page 282 right now I’m going to read all of joe hills books I love your videos ty for amazing video I’m reading the troop on ebook now and I got to wait on the southern book club for 20weeks

[@kimpossible117]

I just finished im thinking of ending things which gave me sleeping paralysis idk maybe its been a long time Ive read this kind of book. Trying to settle things out with Behind her eyes. After this ill read the troop, will it be a bad idea? Hmmm. Im so excited to read it!!! Thank you for this!

[@giovanasilvera9630]

I really enjoyed A head full of ghosts and I'm thinking on endings things, have you read any of them??

[@gabbyreads]

giovana silvera I’ve read I’m thinking of ending things, but I haven’t read a head full of ghosts!

[@dianeknecht1859]

Okay Troop is going on my TBR list for next month.

[@user-ov8uq5gj9v]

Carter is horrible. 😤 and even his mom knew that. Coming back from hell to save her daughter in law.

[@wolfme4030]

I’ve only read the Locke & Key series by Joe Hill and thoroughly enjoyed it until he suffered his dad’s curse of rarely being able to conclude a story well. This surprisingly hasn’t put me off from rereading it as it is a good journey. Neither will it stop me from reading more Joe Hill or Stephen King’s novels.

[@nataliebessette3774]

Loved this!! ❤️

[@jamiemasters2464]

I flipping adorded how you said "it affecting their husbands and stuff" 😂

[@paperback.dragon]

I just finished The Troop and I completely agree about how incredible the imagery is. It was so descriptive sometimes I could almost smell what he was referencing.

[@TheSweetieDarling]

I wanted to read The Troop but now I’m scared! 😂 I’m not sure I’m ready for a terrifying horror book.

[@SaraMGreads]

TheSweetieDarling I didn’t find The Troop to be too scary. His book The Deep was one of the scariest I’ve ever read though.i guess it depends what your personal biggest fears are. For me deep water is scarier than monsters.

[@ashleyswshr]

I am currently reading Stephen Kings Revival. So far I am loving it.

[@ChelseaFace_]

man the troop does sound amazing. gotta find a copy

[@buddyro3581]

Just a heads up, "The Troop" audiobook is on sale for 3.99 on chirp.... along with "The southern book clubs guide to killing vampires" for 1.99!!!!

[@cupofjae]

LOVED Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. There was a point with the cockroach crawling into Patricia’s ear where I was like “WELL I’M NOT SLEEPING TONIGHT”. Among other scenes of course haha.

[@gabbyreads]

Cup of Jae omg SAME!! 🤯 So creepy ahhh

[@JoshsBookishVoyage]

I'm not a big fan of vampires either. That said, I would recommend Fledgling by Octavia Butler. I wouldn't call it horror, but it is a great unique take on vampirism.

[@sandylewis1459]

I loved The southern book club guide to slaying vampires! I didn’t like The Troop and I’ve not read the Joe Hill book but it’s been recommended multiple times by different booktubers. I may have to break down and read it. I read Heart Shaped Box from him and was very disappointed

[@dorothypradela8360]

It's 2:26 am here in the Philippines, idk if I'm ready for some horrors but it's you so 😂❤️🔥🔥

[@Magicme79]

You should read twelve night at rotter house! It’s the most self-aware horror book ever and it’s one of my absolute faves

[@Nightfeare]

Try books by Ania Ahlborn. My favorites are The Bird Eater and Brother. Horror is my favorite genre. And its Nosferatu lol. I loved that book. Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill is amazing too. Great video.💖💖💖

[@Nightfeare]

The word at the end of the chapter leads into the title of the next chapter so it's all connected.

[@InTheFoxDen]

N0S4A2 sounds like Coraline and honestly I'm now even more excited to find and read this book

[@robyn8221]

I’m not a horror fan , but I’m looking forward to reading The Southern Book Club’s Guide. I read another book by that same author called My Best Friend’s Exorcism. It was slightly campy, in my opinion. So, I’m guessing his new one isn’t too scary?

[@gabbyreads]

Robyn yeah it’s not too bad! It has a few creepy and intense moments but it’s a fun book overall

[@imnotwadewilsonsee3656]

I would suggest dead of night series by Jonathan Maberry. I would probably classify it more as suspense but it is technically horror too.

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

Haven't started the video yet but im really really hoping you loved southern book club's guide im so hype for it

[@ACourtofHooksAndBooks]

WELL, listened to your spoilers and I'm GLAD because that whole between her legs thing sounded so fucking disgusting I don't know that i'll be picking this one up....

[@Te3time]

The troop is amazing made me happy to see someone else enjoy it as much as me lol

[@rubyq]

Ok now I have to have all these books lol. Great video 🥰

[@angelgarlinger6370]

NOS4A2 isn’t that great, my favorite Joe Hill book is Heart Shaped Box. It’s a great ghost story. I have been wanting to buy and read the other two so bad, I’ve heard great things about both of them.

[@LittleGreyDove]

What's really creepy about NOS4A2 and the playing the Christmas music all the time.... We have an ice cream truck that's SUPER old and CREEPY AF and he drives around my neighborhood and ONLY plays Christmas music. So after you said this about that book, I'm so terrified now about the creepy Christmas music playing ice cream truck lol

[@gabbyreads]

LittleGreyDove lmao that’s terrifying 😅

[@Miszrye]

I can only pick one. WHICH ONE DO I PICK?! The troop!? Help!!

[@gabbyreads]

Ryan Wolf the troop! 🙌🏻

[@trombaba]

I haven't read NOS4A2 yet, but The Fireman by Joe Hill was fantastic!

[@lectershunt]

i think that you probably know that by now but: NOS4A2 = nosferatu = vampire there's also a movie (an old one) called nosferatu :)

[@annabanabanana]

Have you read brother by ania Ahlborn (I think that’s his last name)? OMG that book is up your alley. It’s so disturbing! I highly recommend you check it out. I just added the troop to my cart.

[@tjl594]

joe hill is stephen kings son. nos4a2 has a tv show on amc also. if you enjoy short stories you should look into joe hill-20th century ghosts.he writes better short stories than novels in my opinion. grady hendrix has another great book called my best friends exorcism. that one is amazing. i had to dnf the troop.. because i got it from the library and it was due and i was like well.. cuz i only got to page 77 and wasnt feeling it. when my library opens back up i definitely wanna try to re read it now since i like your taste in books and you love this book so much! it sort of sounds like the movie cabin fever with rider strong from boy meets world

[@christelsmit9223]

You probably figured this out by now but NOS4A2 - Nosferatu is a famous vampire classic based on Bram Stoker's Dracula

[@jessicabruce4831]

1. Pet Semetary 2. Salem’s Lot 3. My Best Friend’s Exorcism

[@mr.frightscare356]

Definitely give The Elementals a read. It's terrifying.

[@remarkablylisa]

WAIT THE TROOP IS SET IN CANADA? fml LMAOOOOOOO but i want to see how scary it is after your review HAHAA

[@gabbyreads]

remarkablylisa yep hahahah! You should read it!!! 😅
