Vintage Horror BOOKSHELF TOUR (Pt. 4)

[@sarahellis347]

I wish publishers would go back to this kind of cover art.

[@kayhamilton3947]

Is it just me or has Cameron grown more confident in his videos and with his humor as of late? Awesome to see. Been really enjoying the content.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! I’m trying to loosen up a bit and be myself in my videos 😅

[@kayhamilton3947]

It’s showing. I’ve noticed in your other videos but it really hit me in this one 😂.

[@ninaw3748]

Ooooh I love that The Uninvited cover 😍 (04:35)

[@jenk5185]

I watch your videos with a pen and paper to add to my book wish list! Another fantastic video!!

[@LibraryMacabre]

That’s great 🤣🤣 Thanks for always watching! 😁

[@hauntingattiffanys2537]

Same Jen! So many books to read.. 😊

[@yamiyukiko7362]

Those are some really cool covers!! I love how you put Amityville in the nonfiction section. That's great.

[@Scott-sca]

The Phantom Flame of wind house looks good, i love the old creepy house on the cover, Gothic Romances are fun to read very atmospheric

[@NakiasHideaway]

"I never said I had good taste." 😄 I always enjoy your bookshelf tours! That Uninvited cover though... (shudder). 🖤

[@LibraryMacabre]

Hahaha 🤣 Thank you, Nakia! 😁👻

[@mackdaddprod]

These covers are all amazing, makes me want to read every single one! I love the old '80s horror paperbacks. Great collection!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thanks, Sean! 🙌

[@SlimeAndSlashers]

I love The Tale of the Midnight Madness as well! My gosh! So many wonderful covers. I'm so jelly (in a nice way) of your beautiful, immaculate copies! I wish I had written this comment as I was watching because there are so many covers I'd love to mention specifically. But, heck, they're all awesome! And, yes, Toy Cemetery is nuts, haha. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. If you want to ever borrow my reading copy, I could always send it to you if you eventually one day send it back. It's super beat up 😁 This video was a perfect way to start my day, but now I wanna go book shopping 🤣😅

[@LibraryMacabre]

Awww, thank you!! I may have to take you up on that soon ☺️☺️ I’m glad you enjoyed it! Sorry to make you want to do another book shopping spree…. But that means more book haul videos for me! 😆😁

[@SlimeAndSlashers]

@@LibraryMacabre Yes, you can take me up on that whenever you want. Just let me know! It's cool either way. It was definitely a wacky read. Haha, I'll use any excuse to go on a book shopping spree, hehe! And, as you said, that means more haul videos! Woo! Those are fun to film, and I'm glad you like them too. Haha, I'm addicted to buying!

[@Monsterblood]

Oooh I think that Witch Beast might be my favorite cover... time to go look it up on Goodreads and potentially add another to my TBR lol Awesome collection!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! It is quite the cover to behold haha

[@LordSubway]

Nice video again Cameron! I am currently book hunting and "collecting" for my new job. I will start working as a teacher and want to install a little "class library shelf" in the 6th grade that I am in charge of and will teach in History and English. I already have compiled some Goosebumps in English and German =)

[@LibraryMacabre]

This is so cool! Good on you for collecting some vintage books for your students. 😀

[@Emily-Whitfield]

Ive read a lot of William Johnstone back in the 80s!!! My favorite is Wolfsbane!! His books are totally batshit crazy!!! Great video ❤❤❤❤

[@kitkatbar2246]

Great collection. I miss when books had the colored end pages. It added to their appeal.

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

I made it on time. I love these bookshelf tours heaps Cam! The book covers look great!! 🖤❤📚👻 Tarot town and Toy Cemetery both look really interesting as do The Lucifer Child and the Stephen King paperbacks. Eye of the devil has an awesome cover as well. I must admit I'm a big fan of carnival stories as well.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you, Jen!! I’m glad you enjoyed seeing all the awesome covers 📚👻

[@ghostinthepages6628]

Every single time you share a section I just wanna come over and just hang out lol You have such an amazing collection

[@shanea632]

Hope your next video is the vlog. I love watching vlogs by booktubers. It encourages me to read the books.

Thank you! I’ll add it to the list :)

OH MY GOD I WASNT EXPECTING THIS AND IM SO HAPPY AHHH!!! My internet finally came back on and now I am watching all of yiur recent videos. Kepp up with the amazing work and I hope you have a lovely year/rest of your life just for making me happy We have a lot in common with book covers. I am trying my hardest to find horror hardbacks and paperbacks but theres a lockdown in my town.

[@LibraryMacabre]

You’re welcome!! I’m glad you were so happy to see this 😃😃 Happy book shopping!

[@tatumbyers]

So many great books with such fantastic cover art! Thanks for another awesome vid!!☺️🖤

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you as always for watching! 😁📚

[@DrScientits]

Those Amityville books 😫💖

[@horror-sickness]

Love this videos so much. Time to sip on my coffee and discover new amazing books. ❤ Let's see how many books I end up buying 🤣 Wow some of the William W. Johnstone covers are insanely good. A piece of art. Miss cool cover in new horror books. I remember The Devil's cat from Paperbacks from Hell and I want it so bad. Those ones with the cats like Cat's Cradle are for me a must as a cat lady. So amazing! So interesting to see how many authors decided to take pennames back in the day.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you, Kasha! I hope I didn’t suffer your wallet too much 😆🤣

[@horror-sickness]

@@LibraryMacabre Sadly it did. RIP book budget.

[@frankdewtie9949]

Great video, Cameron!! I also walk away with plenty of titles to look into. Thanks 😊🙏

[@lindsayshermer3810]

The spell book that whole group by the two authors sound interesting!

[@d.christophertatum2936]

I blurbed that Michael Laimo book back in my “Dark Realms” magazine days. His book “Deep in the Darkness” is good, sturdy horror.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you for your expertise, sir! I definitely need to check out his writing.

[@nicholasjohnson5944]

Oh yeah- such fun, fantastic books/covers!!! :D Thank you for sharing even more of your collection!!! Keep the superb content coming and have a delightfully fabulous Sat. and Sun., spooktacular Mr. Cameron!!!!! :D

[@cel168]

The Amityville Horror is what got me into reading for fun , I love that book and the copy you have is super cool! Haven't read the sequels though.

[@LibraryMacabre]

I’ve only read the first one myself, but the sequels look insane! 😂 The movie sequels are pretty crazy too. A lot of fun though!

[@cel168]

@@LibraryMacabre The movie sequels are amazing!! One of those franchises that you can watch back to back over and over :)

[@hutchshangout8209]

I love that cover of Where's Mommy Now so much. It delights me every time I see it. I just really enjoy the color palette for covers like it and Tarottown and Darkly the Thunder. That's so disappointing that Christmas Babies is not in fact about babies during Christmastime. That UK cover of Witch Beast *chef's kiss* and the front and back cover to Baby Grand is so good. I know I'm forgetting a bunch of cool ones, but just goes to show you how great 70s through 90s horror covers really are (even if they don't always have anything to do with the story itself).

[@LibraryMacabre]

Right? The covers are just so good on their own, just for the art. It’s like having an art gallery for your shelves 😅

[@kikko]

Was wondering when you were gonna get back to this series! As always, I already bought some of the books you showed, lol. Agreed on the covers of Night Show, Demon’s Fright and Campfire Story. So, sooo good. Btw, you need to check out the rest of Ronald Kelly’s books. Hindsight, the Possession, Something Out There, Moon of the Werewolf… he was one of the more reliable horror authors of that era. Looking forward to the next vid! PS- you’re gonna love those UK Richard Lewis nasties. Spiders was awesome! I can’t wait to read his sequel, the Web. Night Killers was very disturbing. That book scarred me… so intense and a constant dread builds up in that book. Plus some truly horrific deaths that have never left me. Damn cockroaches…

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I always have my eye out for more Ronald Kelly. A great author and a good guy! I think I have copies of all those Richard Lewis books coming. I say “I think” because a friend of mine knows a seller who is getting rid of their Lewis books and my friend is negotiating the sale. I can’t remember which titles they are exactly, but it’s quite a few and I know for a fact Spiders is one of them 😄

[@theGillybean_Chronicle]

I really enjoy these videos. So many great covers.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! 😊

[@bertorosso5377]

Very lovely vintage horror collection. So many beautiful copies! It was interesting to see you show a gothic romance. That genre of the 1960s & 70's has been one of my occasional "guilty pleasures" for many years (though I stopped feeling guilty long ago). Great atmosphere: mansions with hidden passages, misty statue-strewn gardens, foggy seashores, etc.,. Many have awesome covers too, usually featuring the obligatory image of a woman running from a spooky castle or mansion with one lit window. Some favorites: Monica Heath, Dorothy Daniels, Miriam Lynch, Marilyn Ross, etc.,.Though I love the mystery & gothic elements of the stories, I really don't care for the "romance" (which often involve the heroine predictably falling for some domineering guy who treats her like sh*t). I just thought I'd comment on that genre since I don't hear others talk about them much.

[@LibraryMacabre]

If you don’t follow her, look up Regina’s Haunted Library on KZbin. She has a great Collection of Gothic books and reviews them frequently. :-)

[@bertorosso5377]

@@LibraryMacabre Yes. Thanks Cameron. I do like her channel and follow it.

[@Chessie]

As soon as you started talking about horror movies in cinemas, in my head I was like yes, all steming from the AYAOTD episode Midnight Madness, and then you said it lol. It's one of my favorite episodes, although I think my all time favorite is Tale of Dead Mans Float.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Dead Man’s Float is another great one!

[@hutchshangout8209]

Great video as always. :) So many cool covers. I especially liked the William W. Johnstone ones, the cat books in particular. Well in the spirit of telling you how to pronounce something so you can forget the next time it comes up lol, Klavan is pronounced Clay-vin (vin as in vin number or Vincent).

[@LibraryMacabre]

Hahaha thanks!! 😆

[@stephanieregaliza]

I love the lighting in this video

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! 😁👻

[@sunshinelorena]

I love vintage King books 🤩

[@troytradup]

Yay -- more adult horror paperbacks! You know, I feel like I've been somewhere recently where there was a whole shelf of Johnstone paperbacks. I'll see if I can figure out where that might have been.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Ohh, let me know if you do! I still have a couple I need and I’ll reimburse you if you find any 😂

[@spinstercatlady]

I really got into the vintage gothic romance/mystery genre for a while. I still have tons of old Barbara Michaels and Victoria Holt books haha!

[@lindsayshermer3810]

The phantom flame of wind house looks good. Did you ever get to it? I love gothic romance too!

[@fictionfanatic3469]

Toy Cemetery is available digitally if you don't want ruin your physical copy. Trust me it's worth it lol

Thanks for letting me know! :)

[@8remy5]

[@DianeC1975]

Nicely creepy. The covers are really scary. This was so interesting. I'm not sure I could sleep with all those scary books. Does any thing go bump in the night?😉 Have you read Riley Sagers book Home Before Dark? It's about a haunted house allegedly, (fiction). Anyways, you have a great collection. 👍

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you, Diane! If anything goes bump in the night, I sleep right through it… usually 😳😅 I haven’t read that yet but I want to!

[@NamasteBbooktube]

Fantastic!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! 😁

[@mvinson8706]

Does William Johnston also do westerns? I’m Jw cuz I’ve looked for him but all I end up finding are westerns. Great video!

[@LibraryMacabre]

He does! He mostly wrote westerns but he tried his hand at horror quite a few times :)

[@miriamfalk7139]

Cameron, I'd love to see your Animorphs collection. Is it in any of your videos?

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you, Miriam! I’ll do a collection video soon. :)

[@mistyharris7463]

Dean Koontz also wrote some gothic romance under Deanna Dwyer. I have a couple of his Brian Coffee ones and at least one Deanna Dwyer one.

[@LibraryMacabre]

I definitely need to find some of those!

[@j.n.cahill1086]

Missed that intro!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Glad you noticed! 😁

[@BeckiEngland]

Have you read the book my best friends exorcism by Grady Hendrix ?

[@LibraryMacabre]

I actually haven’t yet, but I’ve loved many of his other books :)

[@jamesbrewer4310]

What ever happened to part 5 of your bookshelf tour I really loved them

[@UncDroop]

Good video!

[@alexcampos8014]

If you enjoy cinema horror novels, pick up a copy of Joe R. Lansdale's The Drive In. Absolutely wild and awesome, a real love letter to b-movies. (And Lansdale is a genre unto himself, everything he touches is gold)

[@Benjamin4242]

"Demons" is a great movie (although I think I like "Demons 2" even better). I'll have to check out "Popcorn." Have you ever seen "Anguish" with Zelda Rubinstein? I wouldn't exactly put it on the same level, but it's another memorably weird take on the movie theater horror subgenre. There are moments that make me squeamish, but Zelda's over-the-top performance is something to behold.

[@LibraryMacabre]

I haven’t seen Anguish, But I love Zelda Rubinstein! I definitely need to watch it soon. Thank you, Benjamin!

[@alynam82]

Never realized how many William Johnstone horror books there are. I always thought he was a western writer. I've still not yet read anything by him, but want to

[@LibraryMacabre]

He was a western writer, but he definitely tried his hand at horror. So many! Haha

[@TheDragonman104]

If you love cinema-based horror movies, I suggest to check out “Midnight Movie”. It’s a slasher flick where a supernatural killer wearing a skull-mask traps people in a movie theater and kills each one of them.

[@LibraryMacabre]

I have to check that out!!

[@occasionalreader]

Hey creep , how do you summon the CandyMan? (cool shirt)

[@LibraryMacabre]

I wouldn’t recommend summoning him 🤣🤣 thank you!

[@ricktimus73]

Looking up these books it's always cool to see some of them still in print, but it's also disappointing because they tend to give these recent editions TERRIBLE covers. The Johnstone books are a good example of this. Which, you know, ultimately don't judge a book by it's cover, but it's such a huge part of the appeal that you can't help but feel let down when you come across a bad one. Great video as always, Cameron!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Yeah, it’s really hard to license the original artwork, unfortunately. Great that they’re still in print though! Thank you, Rick!

[@jonathanjernigan8075]

The Amityville books are fine right where there at in your horror fiction, Cameron, no need to put them in nonfiction.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Haha Thanks, Jonathan! 😁

[@djavatar68]

Dead Souls by Laimo is excellent.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Good to know! Thanks! :-)

[@penelopiadblues4542]

Why we no longer get such gorgeous prints as the 90s and the 80s? The publications need to rethink and recreate those paperbacks available to masses again!

[@waderoberts3701]

I read The Devil's Kiss first the Johnstone horror line. The first four books are very good for what they are, at least Toy Cemetery makes them look like masterpieces in comparison. Many of his horror novels are loosely connected in what I call the Devilverse, which all portray on a "game" played by God and Satan, focusing on one of God's chosen warriors. God likes His warriors. Carnival was unfortunately a chore of a slog to read with a villain with an inconsistent alignment. Toy Cemetery is nuts, full of problems, but you barely mind them.
