So Much Vintage Horror! // BOOK HAUL

[@horrorangelspghettihead5801]

LOVE the vintage horror.

[@Cam_Wolfe]

Boy do I love vintage horror book covers 👌

[@Cam_Wolfe]

also, I get fatigued filming videos as well. Especially when I do more than one, back to back. Makes me wonder how television actors do it all day 😂

[@LibraryMacabre]

I could never be an actor 😱

[@j.n.cahill1086]

I agree about the spooky toys look. Someone needs to bring these vintage style covers back! Also stepbacks. Maybe Grady Hendrix will generate enough interest in it. I've mostly only read V.C. Andrews for vintage horror and a few others but I'd love to find more. 10:54 To shreds you say?

[@LibraryMacabre]

I hope they come back too! Step back art is a trend that shouldn’t have died.

Actually, I have one coming soon! 😅

[@jonathanjernigan8075]

Hey Cameron, how are you? I was just reminiscing about 1990, It movie. You remember the funny part of the library scene when Pennywise showed up to Richie and asked him if he wanted a balloon, but one didn't seem enough, so It made many balloons start falling from the ceiling. To be honest, one balloon is not enough for me, I need a thousand LOL. Have a scary day.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Haha Thats a great scene. Hope you have a good weekend!

[@chrisvega2061]

You them bomb. Always enjoy watching all the book you adding!

[@marcyreads]

Oh man, I need that Rockinghorse cover!! I agree with you on the Zebra covers, they are the best! I love this haul!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you, Marcy!! 🙌

[@HarpiesintheTrees]

That is so hardcore, you look for reading copies? Thats super rad! I don't get dizzy but I cannot have enough air in my lungs. I have to take a moment to breathe. I think Im trying to cram a lot of words into one breath and also anxious Dream House sounds really good, I hope its a killer doll lol PS Screw David Willus!

[@icethepolarbear]

I love watching Cameron’s book hauls because I get to know about those incredible books I will probably never be able to read(because 1. While I can read in English-its not my native language-, it’s almost impossible to find them, except online, where 2. They cost a small fortune...that my jobless uni student self just can’t pay 😂)

Another awesome video Cameron! A great way to start of the morning Tbh 👌😉

[@ReginasHauntedLibrary]

Amazing haul and video. I enjoyed your creepy story-time readings. Tiger Beat was a 70's teen fan magazine-David Cassidy, sigh...

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you, Regina! ☺️ It’s been cool to hear more about Tiger Beat. I need to look into it more and see if there were anymore horror books from them.

[@PlaguedbyVisions]

Not necessarily nauseous, but I definitely feel fatigued after recording. I always have to have water nearby because my mouth gets parched from my crazed ramblings. I think recording a video is mentally strenuous activity! I also feel very nervous while recording, wondering if what I’m saying is even making sense. 💀

[@Terminate1101]

I understand you, definitely

[@LibraryMacabre]

It is strenuous activity! I don’t feel nervous myself, but definitely drained of energy.

[@NakiasHideaway]

Oh no Cameron sounds like you need to take more breaks while filming. I don't feel nauseous, just very parched. My mouth is always so dry by the time I'm done. But I'm an actress so I'm kind of used to being on camera. 🤫😁 Love the shirt btw! 🎃

[@LibraryMacabre]

Are you really an actress?? How did I miss this?! 😂😂 You’d think after ten years of doing this that I’d be used to it by now, but Nope! 😆

[@NakiasHideaway]

@@LibraryMacabre Hahaha! You didn't miss it. I haven't talked about it much on my channel cause I've shifted gears away from on camera acting and now want to use my acting skills eventually to do audiobook narrating. Other than that there's evidence on my IG page. 😉 And 10 years?! Wow!!!! I hope to be able to do it that long. And I also hope you find some things that help make filming better for you. 🙏🏾

[@holbrookjr]

Hi Cameron! I'm sorry to hear that you feel yucky after filming! Thank you so, so much for making these wonderful videos even though it's not the most comfortable thing to do! You are very much appreciated!!😊😊 I'm an introvert too so, although I experience different symptoms, I totally feel what you're saying!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you, Russell! Those introvert symptoms are a doozy. Haha

[@holbrookjr]

@@LibraryMacabre That's for sure! 😁

[@icky_nikky]

Me, super spooked by the haunted/evil toy tropes because my grandmother kept a ton of stuff from the depression that just looked haunted: I need to read those haunted toy books.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Hahaha Your grandma’s toys sound awesome!! 😆

[@stanbrown32]

Tiger Beat was (is?) a magazine devoted to photos and news of boy singers and actors (think young Bieber), full of pullout posters and pinups. My sister got it and Teen Beat magazine in the 1970s/early 1980s. I guess they got into the horror craze, too, with that book you found.

[@LibraryMacabre]

You’re a well of knowledge, Stan! Thank you. Interesting that they got into the horror scene. 🧐

[@danamelton1738]

Great haul! I just found a copy of Jack in the box at a thrift store in great condition and I about jumped out of my skin. But it's a gift for a friend so I cant keep it but I'm in love with the cover. Also I have to say I absolutely love your shirt. It's one if my favorite shirts you film in everything about it screams Halloween. It's fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing again you got a ton of great stuff! Xoxox 🎃🕸🕷🕯🔪🤡🎈💀⚰🔦👻

[@LibraryMacabre]

Ohh, great find!! And thank you, Dana, I love this shirt 😁

[@SlimeAndSlashers]

Another great video and great book haul! Lots of awesome-looking covers! I'm sorry you feel ill after filming for a while! I have been doing KZbin videos and some live streams for years. I do feel worn out afterwards. Not sick but just worn out. The editing also wore me out because I used to obsessively cover all my cuts, which takes forever. Now, I've just been leaving the cuts in and uncovered lately because I see a lot of others doing that. But because of editing taking so many hours, I stopped doing so many edited videos and concentrate on live streams more often instead. It could be your light too. Looking at a harsh or bright light for a long period of time can disorient you, especially if you're looking directly at it or if it is the wrong hue. Apparently light hue is important and can affect how someone feels. Thanks for making your videos even though they make you feel bad! I have really been enjoying them. Lots of spooky goodness. Take care!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Yep, editing takes soooooooo much time. Each video I post is an entire day of editing. I’m still trying to think of new ways to speed it up, but it’s just such a time consuming process. Ugh. Thank you for watching, as always! 🙌

[@SlimeAndSlashers]

@@LibraryMacabre Yes, it takes forever. Keyboard shortcuts save a little time along with fast playback. But all together that doesn't add up to much time saved. You're welcome; I enjoy watching!

[@kikko]

Haven’t read Stinger but I recommend Boy’s Life. Not really horror though, although it does contain a few supernatural elements. I am actually reading Swan Song currently, which is often cited as people’s favorite McCammon book. It’s a long one at 956 pages! Nice book haul, Cameron!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! I actually have Boy’s Life so I could start there. :-)

[@waderoberts3701]

When I collected Johnstone's horror catalog, the cheapest way I could get Rockinghorse was in an ebay lot with a bunch of books I didn't want, so I ended up with some extra store credit. That's also the best way to get his later, rarer Ashes novels.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Oh, I’ve had to do that before, many times. I have boxes of books to get rid of from buying lots, but sometimes it’s the only way. 📚

[@dustintbrproblems]

Great haul, I recently picked up that same edition of Darklings. I've also never read Garton, though I plan to start with Live Girls.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thanks, Dustin! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Live Girls.

I like the new intro, but I’m not going to lie, I miss the old one. I gotta read Ramsey Campbell soon. I have a few books by him. STINGER IS MY FAVORITE, FAVORITE McCAMMON BOOK!!!! OF ALL TIME!!!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thanks man! I’ll bring the one one back periodically. I just saw on my analytics that most people skip it so I went with something shorter. 😎

[@Emily-Whitfield]

Ramsey Campbell is very good!! Stinger is one of favorites along with They Thirst and The Wolf's Hour!! Robert McCammon is such a great author ❤❤❤❤

[@timothytroutz6108]

Fantastic episode Keep on hauling 🏆

[@annoyedbyyourface]

I'm not a booktuber but I was a stage performer for years; it's possible you're not breathing enough while you're filming. It's easy to lose track of how much oxygen you're taking in while doing something. Like, scarily easy lol. Also, not sure if someone already said this but it's pronounced "pah-go-da" lol. I take it you aren't into Chinese architecture *or* that gold jewelry store in the mall lol.

[@LibraryMacabre]

That may be it then. Thank you for your input!

[@DAVIDDOSBORNE]

Fantastic haul, really jealous of this all stores have been closed so my new haul is all from eBay and Amazon 😂.

[@DAVIDDOSBORNE]

Also yes I get dizzy after I make videos.

[@LibraryMacabre]

I’m glad I’m not the only one!

[@rosiemon]

I had the same copy of Out Of The Night when it first came out and made the mistake of lending it to my coworker. Found it last year on kindle and loved it all over again. Can you tell me the titles of the 3 stories in The Bone Yard? I'm not sure if I read it before.

[@spookshelves9834]

Bro! I've started to film videos myself and I feel the same thing. I'm not good at all right now so I had to do a ton of takes and in the middle of it I felt dizzy and just bad and had to lay down for a bit, I thought it was just me, sounds but it feels good to know I'm not alone

[@LibraryMacabre]

I’ve been doing videos for ten years and always feel this way after. I’d like to say it gets better, but... 😂🤣

[@SomeGuy-xl5uo]

Stinger is the first, and right now, only, Mccammon book I’ve read. It was a fun book and I would say it is a good place to start. U should know though, the actual action of the book doesn’t really start until after the 200 page mark. Once it does, though, it’s well worth it.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Awesome, thank you!! 🙌

[@markmorris2514]

Hey Cameron. Ramsey is brilliant, though I know some people who can't get into his work because his writing is very strange and unique, so be prepared for that. Ironically, though, Darkest Part of the Woods is the only book of his that I *haven't* read, the reason being that I was gearing up to read it when his publisher asked me if I'd write the introduction to his following novel, The Overnight, and so I ended up reading an ARC of that one instead and then never got round to going back and reading the previous book (although I do have it on my shelves). If I was being honest, though, I'd recommend reading his short stories first to get a flavour of his writing before diving into a novel. A great collection of his is Dark Companions, so if you can get a cheap copy of that I'd recommend going for it. By the way, do you still have my list of 'Wants' that I sent to you a year or two ago? If so, have you spotted any of the books on it while you've been out and about? I appreciate, though, that most bookstores have been closed for most of the last year, so I'm guessing not.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Hey Mark!! Thanks so much for the feedback, I’ll definitely try to start with his short fiction first. And yes, I still have all your books and I’m thinking I’ll go ahead and send you what I have. I know we were waiting for me to find more, but I haven’t been finding much from your list at stores. Most of my shopping has been online or trades with friends. Send me an email at [e-mail] and I’ll follow up with you on your address and make sure I send you all the books you wanted. 😎

[@NamasteBbooktube]

Great haul!

[@sassysarahreads]

I tend to get adrenaline rushes after filming videos, so I’m the exact opposite. However, I teach all day and have the same feeling of fatigue and tiredness at the end of the day that many of the commenters are saying. Some mentioned presentation fatigue which is definitely a thing since you are focusing your energy on a giant task. I always drink lots of water and take brain breaks by watching a video on KZbin or a tv show to rest my brain after doing something that causes extreme bouts of fatigue. Napping is good, too, but I know not everyone has time for those (I usually don’t except for the weekends).

[@LibraryMacabre]

Yeah, it seems like it’s presentation fatigue. Taking naps after videos always puts me behind on stuff, but I’m going to have to start looking at them as part of the filming process. 🤷‍♂️

[@zdogg3943]

Just got onto your channel (love it btw) but can you do a video where your talk about scary Halloween horror books?

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! Hope you keep enjoying the videos. I will definitely be doing lots of Halloween reading recs around the beginning of October or end of September 🎃

[@tatumbyers]

I am not a booktuber, but I used to be a partnered streamer (for games), and for a variety of reasons, I would feel the same way towards the middle/end of my stream. I do have ME and POTS (both illnesses that make you feel all sorts of things with periods of sitting and standing and engaging!). Also, if socializing can be something amps up any anxiety or overwhelming feelings for you, it can certainly make your body start shooting out all sorts of stress hormones (whether for positive or negative reasons), and give you adrenaline surges and more. Socializing is actually a very high energy-consuming activity- more than most may think! All of these can lead to dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and flu-like symptoms! Another thing that affects those is blue lights! I don’t need glasses to see day to day, but I often wear prescription glasses with filters on them for light sensitivity issues and they have help remarkably. They just leave a little tint on the lenses and soften the world around you! I could see you rocking those! I’m not sure if any of this helps, but lol... that’s just my own experience!

[@tatumbyers]

Sorry for all the typos! 😬

[@LibraryMacabre]

Oh wow, this is super helpful and makes a lot of sense. Thank you!! I have been meaning to get some of those glasses for a while because screens hurt my eyes, so I can wear them during videos too 😁

[@tatumbyers]

@@LibraryMacabre oh, no problem! I really hope the glasses help some! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

[@elizabethstranger3122]

Hi this is probably weird, but i am diagnosed with ME / cfs recently, even though ive been sick for many years, I just never knew why i would feel so unwell after the smallest of activities, and the first thing i thought when Cameron described how he was feeling was it sounds like how PEM feels to me. Ive been bedbound for 7 months now, and I get anxiety a lot in the evening, but watching booktube videos help calm me down.

[@tatumbyers]

@@elizabethstranger3122 It is not weird at all! I’m so sorry that you’ve been bedbound for so long. I can completely empathize with you! I also thought this description sounded a lot like PEM too, which is why I definitely wanted to chime in! Booktube is totally a way for me to relax too, and a great escape when your bound to bed and four walls! Many, many hugs to you!!

[@ElizabethSagewood]

YUP! I call it "presentation fatigue" I get it when I do videos (especially multiple videos) or if I'm on really long zoom meetings where I have to talk about a project in depth or fight for a timeline to be met. I think it's partly because of the concentration and wanting to make sure you nail all of the points you want to get across.... and a bit because even though you probably don't realize it, it has an element of anxiety to it......and the lighting doesn't help (we don't blink enough when presenting). After I"m done, I'm always super exhausted, a bit nauseous and need to have a meal, lots to drink and a bubble bath after removing my makeup and then can't do much for the rest of the evening...so it's almost like an adrenaline crash. I don't think it's uncommon. Also it's a whole other layer when you're an introvert like we are!!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Oh, the joys of being an introvert 😂 It’s true, we really don’t remember to blink! I didn’t think of that either.

[@bt9686]

I broke into Ramsey Campbell through his short stories, specifically "Alone With the Horrors", a collection that covers a big swath of his output through the decades. I tend to read short story collections first, if possible, with writers I am reading for the first time. I find I get more of a sense of them and their styles that way, instead of jumping into a novel and realizing 150 pages in that I'm just not digging it. However, with Robert McCammon I've only read "They Thirst" which was fun but also kind of predictable.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thanks for the tip!

[@andreamichelevincenti]

[@FrankMillersEvilHat1]

Night Walkers is a YA novel but I think only the hardcover edition listed on the book state it is YA, the writing style is very much YA. I read it about 2 and a half years ago and didn't realize it was a YA novel until I started reading it.

I would not be insecure about not reading everything. Alot of this stuff was written before we were even alive. We have more literature to read than other dudes did 30 years ago. The books keep growing, so, it's harder for the younger generations to have "read everything by" so and so.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Totally agree with you. Well said! EDIT: Literally the next comment after yours says shame on me for not having read them yet 😂

[@d.christophertatum2936]

Hey Cameron, do you have a public email? I’m going to go through my books over the next few months and if I need to get rid of any, I figured I’d give you first shot. Regarding Ramsey Campbell - nice guy, but his writing is dense. He creates an atmosphere like no one else but it’s not light reading. I haven’t read that particular book but his novel “Ancient Images” was accessible. “Stinger” was the first Robert McCammon book I read and I think it’s a great book. A lot of fun. Overall McCammon reminds me of a less vulgar Stephen King - still adult but not as in love with profanity.
