Top 10 Best Horror Books! - 2024

[@CliffsDarkGems]

An excellent video Benjamin! Let The Right One In is phenomenal and would definitely make my list. I highly recommend the movies. There are a number of these I have not yet read.

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

I really should check out the movies. I also want to re-read the book again, just talking about it got me excited.

[@lesliepowell-mccarty7067]

Cliff, thank you for telling us about Benjamin's channel!

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

@@lesliepowell-mccarty7067 wow thanks so much Cliff! Welcome I hope you find something to like :)

[@anotherbibliophilereads]

An interesting list. I have read six out of ten and DNF House of Leaves.

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

House of Leaves is deffinitly a love it or hate it sort of book. Thanks for watching!

[@teslagoth9401]

Glad to have found your channel… had to skip ahead on ‘let the right one in’ because it’s in my tbr and I already know too much. Heart Shaped Box was fun!

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

Thanks so much! I'm having a lot of fun :) Please make sure to remember to come back after you've read Let The Right One In and let me know what you thought! I still need to watch the movie, maybe I'll get to that tomorrow.

[@teslagoth9401]

@@BenjaminsBookclubwhoa didn’t know it was a movie! Neat! Have you read My Best Friend’s Exorcism or Hörrorstor by Grady Hendrix? Those were fun. Just finished Mary by Nat Cassidy (it was wild!) and am halfway through Camp Slaughter by Sergio Gomez :) I added some recommendations from this video to my list. I have House of Leaves in my drawer at work… eeek not sure I can get to that for awhile, it makes you work too hard 😂

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

@@teslagoth9401 House of Leaves is definitly one of the harder books ive read, but it just sits with me for ever, I loved that book. I've read Horrorstor and quite enjoyed it. I havn't got around to any other Grady Hendrix, but I think I have basically all his books on my shelf.

Joe Hill Nosferatu is like reading a SKing book. In Dr. Sleep characters from this novel are mention. The villains from Dr. Sleep mention the Villain from this book

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

I am saving it for a Christmas Read :D I am excited to get to it though!

[@lesliepowell-mccarty7067]

Hi Benjamin! I enjoyed hearing your list. I have read most of these but I definitely need to read The Fisherman. I have heard such good things. Salem's Lot is my favorite King book too!! I read it for the first time 46 years ago. 😮 Good luck with your channel! Yes, I subscribed. 🤗

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

Thanks so much!

[@Crizzybooks]

Great list, I have so many of these on my TBR and now I’m even more excited. I’m reading The Fisherman next. I love both Let The Right One In and Let Me In so I guess I need to read the book too.

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

Thanks so much! Hey if you read the book I'll watch the movies, we can report back 😁 Based on your reviews, you will love The Fisherman! Hope to see a video on it!

Hello :)

[@creepyquills7092]

Penpal has been on my shelf for years! I need to read it. Salem's Lot is also my fav King novel! I splurged and purchased the Cemetary Dance Edition off Ebay. It is Gorgeous! I need to reread it. To me, that is how I like my Vampires. =) House of Leaves was amazing. I remember the part where I had to grab a MIRROR to read it. That book was just ....an adventure to read and I loved the challenge (I considered it the most intimidating book on my shelf)

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

I completely forgot about the mirror section. I always think of one section where the text box gets smaller and smaller as though it's moving away. What an odd read it is, so good though. I've only recently started looking at special editions, and my wallet would love if I stopped doing that

[@creepyquills7092]

@@BenjaminsBookclub yeah I do not scare easily, and House of Leaves really freaked me out. Don't mess with my space! lol. oh, and I hear you. I walked away from one e-bay buy of Salems Lot. Then, months later, someone had it cheaper and still sealed! Since I had recently gotten a nice time and a half paycheck..I treated myself!

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

@@creepyquills7092 awesome! I think I might pick up the nice Dune Hardcovers as a great as well!

Hi thanks for sharing some horror books you like. I can’t say I’ve ever really read horror. Maybe soft horror more gothic style is as close as I’ve got. 🤣 I do like to challenge myself see if I can expand my horizons. Dark Matter sounds really good, I’ll have to book mark that! I don’t think I’m into extreme blood guts gore and shock factor -thrashertype of horror that’s what I thought the genre was. Interesting 🤔 Oh shit! Mexican Gothic!! I loved that book!! The body horror so gross!! First introduction that sort of story. Body horror. I agree it was jam packed with multi layered with history and mystery. Plotting so well done! You’ve convinced me to give Stephen King another shot. And I forgot I did read House of Leaves. Yes it got I’m under my skin it’s hard to talk about! I get chills just thinking about it. 🤣

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

Thanks for the comment! Yeah Mexican Gothic was amazing, if you're looking for horror without the blood guts gore I think a surprising amount of the genre doesn't have a lot of that. If you like Gothic softer horror you would probably like "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson (It's very different from the show!) and "The Women in Black" by Susan Hill. I think you'd like those ones! My Stephen King reading is shockingly lacking as well, I have only read about 4 of his books, I need to knuckle down and read the rest!

[@mishelly]

@@BenjaminsBookclub my first Stephen King was Fairy Tale but I didn’t finish it. I’m not sure liked his writing style in that.

[@toniblessing4624]

Well done.

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

Thanks so much!

[@chrisreadingcorner3816]

Hi Benjamin, great video and some good books I've not read yet.

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

Thanks Chris! Going to check out your books to read in 2024 video before bed tonight! Looks great!

[@chrisreadingcorner3816]

@@BenjaminsBookclub that's great I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for not playing dumb music or lofi beats while you’re talking. ♥️ it’s so distracting 🏆

[@johnnythepillpopper1974]

Salem’s Lot was my first horror book, actually first book I read

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

It's so good. its a wild first book to read though I love that!

[@johnnythepillpopper1974]

@@BenjaminsBookclub I saw the series on tv, then somebody told me it’s a book…..that’s when I met Mr. king. That kid flying by the window,haunted me for a long time.

[@johnnythepillpopper1974]

@@BenjaminsBookclub let me tell you something else about 20years ago my father was in the hospital and one day when I went to visit him , I would go every day, he told me “there’s a little clown floating outside the window every night “ everything came back 😂….I told him we are on the ten floor . Till he’s last day he swore it was true. I made sure I left before it got dark every day.

[@devantegrinstead2436]

I know it’s not a book but read the manga berserk

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

I adore beserk. I'm up to like volume 9 of the big ultimate volumes.

[@devantegrinstead2436]

@ dude nice I never collected just read online i want to start soon though

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

I read a lot of it online many years ago, but started getting the big editions a few years ago, they are absolutely worth it, and the huge pages show off the art amazingly.
