Scary Horror Audiobooks | Book Recommendations

[@kevinsbookcase59]

Thank you for your review. I've been dealing with books for the past 43 years!!! And I am just now thinking about getting into horror audiobooks and your video helped me to give some a try. Thank you so very much!!! 😁

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Glad this was helpful!

So many books I want to read now. I have read (eyeballs) the Newfeed Trilogy, and have read (ears) NOS4A2 thanks to your previous recommendation. But all the others are new. That something followed them novel is one I really want to read. I came close to dying this winter when I went through a crack in the lake ice with my backpack and gear and couldn’t get out. After struggling for several minutes I thought this was how I died. But by a bit of lucky (or divine) inspiration I figured out a way to get out. For the next few days though I felt like something had followed me home from that black crack in the lake. The feeling was strong enough I didn’t go outside at night for my usual walks or winter bike rides. I’m ok now but I bet that book will give me deliciously creepy vibes because of my experience. Oh, I also woke up in the night that week feeling like I was suffocating and there was something black near me. Sigh. The perils of an overactive imagination. But I think I could use that experience to write a short story-the lake even has spooky legends going back thousands of years according to the Ojibway/Cree people in the area.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Ooo that definitely sounds like the makings of a good horror story

[@jjnewbold]

And The Trees Crept In is joining NOS4A2 on my sort list!

[@gleamogirljoelle]

The audiobook recs are always my fav videos that you do. I will come back and give you some of my favs.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Awesome

[@CoralTheWitch2023]

Thank you for the audiobook recommendations!

[@seiryumiko]

I loved Feed, Head Full of Ghosts and NOS4A2. I'm mostly audiobook only reader so will have to check out the others on this list. Especially Strange Weather as a fellow Trekkie+Joe Hill fan :) Thanks for the recommendations!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yay for finding another Trekkie!

[@alaskalove1071]

I just finished mind of winter and the ending knocked the wind out of me. absolutely loved it.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yes... it's a gut punch for sure

[@stufox1678]

My favorite audiobook ever is World War Z. The huge cast narrating are hard to beat: Alan Alda, John Turturro, Rob Reiner, Mark Hamill, Alfred Molina, Simon Pegg, Henry Rollins, Martin Scorsese among many others.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yes such a good one!

[@CarolinaBury]

Last week I received a notification fromy library saying that the audiobook And the Trees Crept In was available, and it took me same time to remember why I had ask for this book. But as soon as I start listening I concluded "it must have been from Rachel's audiobook recommendation ". It really is a great production! Very entertaining.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

It's definitely quite the production!

[@TheCountrySquireRV]

Devolution was a great read and a.pretty good audio book. I enjoyed the book so much last year that I wanted to share it with my husband. We listened to it on our road trip this summer.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kittyshiv]

awesome, been looking forward to this.. thank you!!

[@krisprepolec5616]

I am listening to Strange Weather on CD, from the library, in my car right now. Snapshot was really touching. On loaded right now and really liking it.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Glad you're enjoying it

[@cucina_kristina]

The majority of my reading nowadays is via audiobooks and I added every one of these to my TBR. LOVED this video!!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Awesome

[@GarrettOsha]

I always recommend the NOS4A2 audiobook! Mulgrew really made it for me. I don’t think I’d have been as impressed just reading it myself.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

She is amazing

[@hillsha40]

Thanks for the suggestions

[@theresatruitt1167]

I love audio books, so I was thrilled to see this pop up! Great suggestions!

[@biznis9965]

Yes! My favorite booktube channel crossing into Star Trek 😁 Would you recommend Joe Hill for readers who don't like Steven King?

[@TheShadesofOrange]

As someone who does not love King, I would say, yes, still try Joe Hill

[@christianlaforet6093]

I tend to avoid audio books...but, N0S4A2 is so damn good, and with the added awesomeness of Kate Mulgrew (my fav Captain!), I'm gonna have to give it a listen!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yes Captain Janeway!

[@millymollymrst3537]

I always used to be very against audio books but recently I have been getting into them. Thanks for the great recommendations.😊

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Glad you got into them

[@brockyhorror]

i loved N0S4A2 i think i’m due for a reread (or re-listen!) this winter! thanks for the recommendations.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Next Christmas for me!

[@Darrkness]

I love audiobooks. Thanks for the recommendations! 👍

[@ElizabethSagewood]

Thanks for this list. I'm always looking for great horror audiobooks, I'm very picky with the narrators.....so I'm going to give some of these a try.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Glad it was helpful Elizabeth

[@Florida882]

I loved feed and dread nation. They are much better on audio. I have read them both ways. ❤️ Love them ❤️

[@TheShadesofOrange]

So good!

[@TheMike28212]

Love the recommendations! I have And the Trees Crept In, Feed, and Strange Weather on my tbr. I will be sure to check out their audio when I get to them. 🌳🧟‍♂️⚡️🎧📚

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I'd definitely reread Strange Weather & Feed

[@mathewchan6327]

I’m not an audiobook reader nor horror but I do love horror podcasts so I might check these out! But I’d love to recommend some horror podcasts I love: The White Vault Among the Bones and Stars (scifi horror/thriller) Video Palace

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh yes I love Video Palace... I should check out your other recs

[@Nixx0912]

I've read "Mind of winter" and "Head full of ghosts" before I've started listening to audiobooks, I did listen to Nos4a2 though. You're right narration was fantastic, I listened to "Fireman" afterwards because she also narrated it, and it was Joe Hill. Unfortunately I found this book disapointing story vise. It's not horror but more post-apocaliptic novel with the deadly virus, there were interesting parts but it was overstretched and had much to many miraculous rescues happening.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yeah I love Mulgrews narration but I was so disappointed by Fireman

[@Nixx0912]

@@TheShadesofOrange It's not just me then 😁

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

Thank you for adding to my tbr list ha haha 😂 hope you are all well please stay safe and enjoy your reading 📖 prayers and thoughts for you and your family love your family friend John xxxx

[@BerithVT]

I've found that I can no longer sit and read a book so I'm very happy to get some audio book recommendations 👀

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh good!

[@alexandrakeckmontanari5180]

I absolutely loved A head full of ghosts on audio my favorite!! Also have you read Come closer? I have it on audio but yeah Im chicken lol

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Oh I have. The audiobook version is great

[@cindywingetbooks]

Who was the author for Snapshot? I want to read all of these!

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Joe Hill!

[@bookishsix]

I loved Feed audiobook, and the second book….but was not a fan of the third one.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

Yeah I heard mixed things about the sequels

[@stevenvenn]

I just started the audiobook of Thomas Olde Heuvelt’s “Hex” and I might tap out already. The narrator’s Mom and teens voice impressions sound like Bruce McCulloch of Kids in the Hall doing his various “kid and lady voices.” Are there other versions? This guy bugs me.

[@TheShadesofOrange]

I love Hex... but oh man I can't do that audiobook. I've tried it twice... it's rough

[@stevenvenn]

@@TheShadesofOrange It gets worse when the real estate buyers are voiced by the same guy - yet more Bruce-sounding characters! I think I want to go read the book and formulate their character voices in my head. The main narrator also sounds like William S. Burroughs drank too many coffees, really “announcer-y” as well in his tone (as someone who works in radio I’m especially sensitive to certain voices that sound “put on”). Hard pass! Sorry, TOH! Reading your book instead!

[@zubaerchaudhari8267]

Hello

[@Asmrmii]

Sounds like I NEED to get the Suicide Forest audiobook. Idk why I struggle with Joe Hill 🥸

[@TheShadesofOrange]

What you don't love Joe Hill? I find his books way easier than Kings
