The Home Library of My Dreams! (BOOKSHELF TOUR)

Let's tour my home library together! My private library consists of over 10,000 books spanning many literary genres, from fantasy and science fiction, to mystery/thrillers, gothic, occult and metaphysical, and the classics. But my favorite genre is horror. I have many bookshelves bursting with vintage horror paperbacks (as seen in Paperback from Hell), young adult horror books like Fear Street and Point Horror, Stephen King, and a large Goosebumps collection, just to name a few. I also have many leatherbound books, signed books, and rare first editions in my collection for those who enjoy the finer things in life, and many YA and middle grade books as well. I will also be covering all my home library decor in this video, with helpful bookshelf hacks to get the most out of your space. This is where I spend the majority of my time reading and writing, and I hope you feel at home too!

Hi creeps! My name is Cameron Chaney. I'm a horror author (see links above for info on my books) and I am also the host of Library Macabre, a BookTube channel focusing on horror, both vintage and new, indie and mainstream. Don't care for horror? No worries! I feature other literary genres on my channel as well. I just love books! You might even see an occasional video about horror films. If it's spooky, I'm here for it. :-)

[@rosiemon]

Your library is like a mini museum! Love the attention to detail you put in to it. Great job with the tour, it was so much fun!

[@tyjopopp2164]

Why aren't you popular?! Sheesh you put so much love and care in these videos. More than any other book youtuber i know.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Aww, thank you!!

[@PlaguedbyVisions]

Coming back just to leave that algorithmic comment: An incredible experience not just seeing all the literary beauty, but also learning a bit about your personal history and what a lifelong passion this has all been. Thank you for sharing your incredible world with us. ❤

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thanks so much, Juan! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and that you appreciated those bits about my past. 👻📚

[@ricktimus73]

This is definitely the coziest, most aesthetically pleasing library tour I've ever seen. Wonderful job with this video, Cameron!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you so so much!

[@ronaldokatwaroo]

The day something of mine ends up in your library I'll shed literal tears 😅 Nobody does youtube like you sir! The love you have for what you do will never cease to amaze me. Keep wearing your horror heart on your sleave Cameron! (Why you dont have 100k+ subscribers is BEYOND me!!!)

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you so much! Maybe one day I’ll have that many people watching, but I feel like KZbin doesn’t always know what to do with me. Lol

[@smileytonya]

Cameron, you have such a beautiful collection! Can't wait for season two of Library Macabre.

[@IWasaTeenageTeenWolf]

I absolutely love seeing these collection videos! Makes me feel better about splurging on way too many books whenever I go to Barnes n Noble (they get you with the membership discount lol.)

[@whatkaylasays]

This is absolutely superb. Your collection is a true labour of love!

[@briannavarro7487]

Seeing your collections is awesome, now I really want to have my own library room

[@jackthereader]

A CC video is always an event! You inspire me as a literature and genre fan.

[@JB-pl1iu]

I know you're a film collector also. Would love to see how you house those as well.

[@megan694]

Best home library! Very cozy and i love all the nostalgic books

[@CvilleTed]

Love the new library configuration and organization. Thank you for sharing!

[@NakiasHideaway]

Cameron, where do I start with how much I enjoyed this? I just love how you mixed in footage of old ads and childhood pictures to show how long you've had items in your library or where you love for an item came from. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I cannot imagine how much work went into this video but thank you so much. I loved every minute of it! 🖤

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you, Nakia!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and that you liked all the extra touches. I need to start including more vintage ads and pics! :)

[@ITCamefromthePage]

Wow....just wow. Incredibly immersive and impressive.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🙌

[@CS4Carr]

You have Angels Blood by Victor Miller! That’s my favorite book of all time. Not many people know or have that book. Miller is an excellent writer

[@ninaw3748]

Beautiful library! So many first editions, rare books, old books in the very best condition, wow!! And that Ruby Jean Jensen collection is amazing 😍 and so fun to see old photos of mini Cameron with Goosebumps books 😁

[@joesullivan9750]

I've almost completed Spooksville and Shivers series. Kills me every time I watch your tours I find new RL Stine books I didn't know existed. haha

[@LibraryMacabre]

There’s more Stine books out there that I don’t think anyone knows about! We’ve been researching some things here and have found some seriously deep cuts.

[@rosiereviewsbooks72]

You have such a cool collection

[@NotSoProKitty]

Wow, This is fantastic! I'm incredibly jealous!

[@NotSoProKitty]

Also what a coincidence, I've been slowly putting completing my Animorphs and Remnants collection

[@KentuckyObjectivist]

Also, that straw with the eyeball in it?! Holy shit that is straight from my childhood. I don't even remember where I got it. Wish I'd kept it. That takes me way back 😅

[@LibraryMacabre]

It’s from Taco Bell! I had one as a kid. This one was a recent gift for Christmas which brought me way back. :)

[@rosaliebahe]

Love the Goosebumps shirt. Amazing. Thanks for sharing your incredible library with us!

[@stephanieregaliza]

This is an incredible collection!!! ❤

[@cindywingetbooks]

Your library is incredible! I also hope to own all the Fear Street books. I loved them so so much as a kid! Same with Babysitter Club and Sweet Valley.

[@MikeyandFriendsTNA]

Love seeing the evolution of your library. Till next season 🫡

[@LibraryMacabre]

See you next season!

[@IWasaTeenageTeenWolf]

Also....YOU HAVE HALLOWEEN NOVELIZATIONS?! Those are worth their weight in gold!

[@LibraryMacabre]

I know!! I’m very lucky to have some.

[@BrockStarNo5]

I’ve been waiting all morning for this! 👻 📚

[@austinrenteria]

Mega Cool! The best library I've ever seen.

[@horrorbookgeek8993]

Thanks for sharing with us! I love your library, and those photos of you as a kid, Ooft! Just too cute!

[@graveyard-reads.]

Great video, Cameron! Your collection is incredible. I'm taking notes for my shelves 😂. Btw, love your shirt too.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! Good luck with your shelves. I hope all my tricks work for you. :)

[@DarkVioletDreams]

The BEST home library I've ever seen. I'm loving all the nostalgic decor as well. ✨

[@NamasteBbooktube]

What a beautiful library. 🙂

[@franciscovega3936]

You are the best booktuber and one of the best youtubers in the platform!Saludos desde Mexico!!

[@mylifeinletterbox7283]

Awesome video! My book library is only one overflowing book case but maybe one day I’ll have one like yours! Gotta say, I stopped reading for quite a while, mostly listening to audio books on my commute rather than actually reading. But discovering your channel has reignited a passion for reading so I just wanted to thank you! Also, super jealous of the Halloween novelizations. I want to read those and own them so bad but the prices are CRAAAAZY.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thanks so much!! I hope you’re able to find all those Halloween novelizations!

[@mylifeinletterbox7283]

@@LibraryMacabre one day! One day! They’re holy grails for me haha!

[@klassicdad]

These videos of yours are always inspirational! I actually used your tier suggestion for a while, but then my collection outgrew my space so I had to forego displaying my books in favor of storage. Now I'm sure there are books hidden away that I've forgotten I own. I'll be happy to have a library half as glorious as yours someday!

[@austinkinzie9146]

I love it! You inspired me to start my own library, and yours is very much goals.

[@katsnoveladventures1863]

What a wonderful way to spend 20 minutes! Your book collection is AMAZING, Cameron. I love that you have an entire room for your library, and it is absolutely beautiful. I like the organization of your books. You have many author favorites of mine on your shelves. Thanks for the tour. It brought me lots of joy. 📚 😊

[@michaelsbooinbooks]

Hands down the best home library out there! Your collection astounds me. I’m just in awe. Love it!! ❤

[@fictionfanatic3469]

Man what a video!!! Creep you are awesome, your library is amazing, I will be rewatching this video over & over ❤️ As always, keep up all the great work you do Cameron it certainly is something remarkable!👻 🎃

[@Taralovescoloring]

This is amazing! As someone who was a kid/preteen in the late 80's/early 90's who LOVED reading, seeing your selection of all the scholastic books, R.L Stine and Christopher Pike books absolutely warms my heart and brings back a ton of memories of how much I loved those books. I hope one day to be able to remake the collection that I once had. And OMG you have all the babysitter club books 😍😍😍

[@KentuckyObjectivist]

No booktuber has videos of this quality. Not even the really big guys. Impressive as always. Love the way you've tiered the paperbacks. That's a good idea. Curious though, how do you go about organizing on the tiers? So if authors starting with A end on the first row of books, do you start with B on the back row? Or do you start with A on the back row and B on the front? 😅

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the kind words. Good question! A’s would start in the back, B’s in the front. That being said, sometimes when I’m organizing they get switched by accident, then I have to redo them. So frustrating when that happens! 😣

[@jenk5185]

I immediately saved this to one of my playlists, so I can rewatch it whenever I want inspiration for my own library or just a calming watch! I absolutely love your library!! Totally agree that V.C. Andrews needs to be in everyone's library! I noticed that you have a Munsters book in your collection, because I just found a copy of The Last Resort at a local antique store. Just a fun addition to my collection. Thank you for such a fabulous video!!!!!!

[@marytormey4522]

Hi an amazing collection and very well organized ,I love horror too ,very cool ,thanks for sharing ,

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

This is such an incredible collection of books Cam- your library looks wonderful. 📚💕 I personally really like your bookspace/library and I'm looking forward to the upcoming season of Library Macabre.

[@orwwan]

Omg that library is heaven! 😍😍😍

[@shanslife3953]

You have such a great collection, I would sit in here ALL DAY!!! such a comfort, congratulations to you for having such a great room 💫

[@CallumRickard]

A really fantastic tour, Cameron. Such a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing your Scare-Filled Sanctuary with us. Truly: an astonishing collection, built across a lifetime. I hope one day, when you own your own home, that you can build a space to really show off your decorative taste to go with your books.

[@taytaysinger]

Such a great video and tour!! (As always)

[@MissyLovesToRead]

LOVE your collection!!!!

What an amazing collection! 😍

[@AmzieLoo]

I wish I could like this video more than once 😩 what an incredible collection 😍 and another great video!

[@rlstan963]

Amazing! No joke I know I’ve said it before but you got me into vintage horror paperbacks. I started with goosebumps and fear street but you got me into bonechillers, shivers, AYAOTD, zebra horror, point horror, Christopher pike and spooksville, fright time, etc. and I’m so greatful for the time and energy you put in your videos. I hope to have a library even a quarter as big as yours one day. I’m at about a little over 1,000 now and growing. Thanks again man and keep up the good work! And can’t wait to get autumn crow fresh hell! 🎃 I also took notes and double stacked my shelves with cardboard that I cut and taped to size and it saves so much room, thanks again!

[@scotthammond4381]

Awesome collection can't wait for the next video I also have a goosebumps collection myself

[@glendyc22]

Such an amazing library, love it. So many of my childhood favorite books, love Goosebumps, Fear Street, Sweet Valley and all the Apple paperbacks. Also Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my favorite shows ever. Thanks for the library tour it's awesome.

[@mikeprewittmovieandbookreviews]

Very impressive collection I really enjoyed this video. And it's pure nostalgia.

Great viedo!!! Can't wait to read you new book. Wiah I had room for that many books amazing collection.

[@bertorosso5377]

Your beautiful Library Macabre keeps getting better & better all the time! So many things to this great video that I could comment on that I'm just kind of, well, overwhelmed and tongue-tied on where to start. Ruby Jean Jensen books (Big yes!)... Beverly Gray at the World's Fair (wow, you found one! Yay!)...Gothic romances now (good. good.) Neato stuff galore!! I'm basically loving it all!

[@spo0kyxspice]

Killer editing and production value, Cameron! Not to mention a collection that rivals a museum exhibit 🥳

[@never_ending_studiokkswani85-3]

No reference section? I only have 1,097 books, and I have almost every genre LOL! Looks awesome dude! Great library and video!

What an incredible library, Cameron! You should offer in person tours and charge for them! Like a museum. Do you have any tips on how to optimize shelf space with hardback books? They definitely take up a lot of space but I just can’t get rid of them.
