The scariest moment in Gavin Reads It All history

@mauditebalvenie 4 дня назад

I think the problem with some of extreme horror lit are that authors care more about writing something edgy/shocking and not put the same care in the craft of writing itself.

@jungtothehuimang 3 дня назад

I feel like that's all that Cows is, it's not horror in the "stay up with the lights on" way it's more like just horrifying to read something so nauseating and unpleasant. Idk, it kinda has almost edgelord vibes, just sort of yucky.

@0sleepninja0 3 дня назад

It definitely seems to be overrun with authors that simply want to see just how gross and gory they can make it and couldn't give 2 craps about developing any plot or characters.

@haley5803 День назад

That's exactly why I don't read it. Very eloquently put!

@meikusje День назад

That's definitely the biggest 'issue' with the genre. On the other hand, that's also what the genre is, so you could also say that if you don't like shock for shock value, maybe the genre just isn't for you. I don't like most extreme horror for this reason, so I generally just stay away from that genre.

Gav: "His elderly neighbor with dementia is still there. The batteries are about to run out." That's a very accurate metaphor for dementia, Gav. 😂

I have 100% cooked myself a whole garlic baguette before, and eaten the entire thing by myself, it’s a mood.

@ragdollrose2687 4 дня назад

Why haven't I ever done this before?! I'm a full grown adult, I should use my grown adult power for things like that, it's such a good idea

Hi, long time viewer first time commenter. Regarding your upstairs hall furniture drama: I think what you're looking for is a sideboard/buffet; it's a long, narrow hutch/cabinet. Ikea sells several, but you should be able to find them at a decent flea market*/swap meet* too. *Apologies if those are VATs (Very American Terms). Swap Meet is kinda like a Boot Sale; a Flea Market is essentially a Bazaar.

@LittleDogsHouseholdStaff 4 дня назад

Ugh! Gavin please please please read Penpal! I know you said you were gonna hold off for now but if you were haunted by the people horror in The Reformatory, you will get major creeps from Penpal! It’s SO good. I read it in one sitting. It’s short but also compulsively readable. I now read it every October because of the creepiness and atmosphere.

@ulrika44 3 дня назад

I second that. Loved Penpal! ❤

@eviechatsandchapters 3 дня назад

I third that!!!!!

@fanpiresam482 4 дня назад

I simply had to stop what I was doing to enjoy Vlogoween. Since I'm celebrating my Hobbit birthday (33rd) I had plans to rewatch the lord of the rings shire house vlog and read the appendices with your Read with me video. Thank you in advance for the peaceful night I'm about to have.

A few things, sir… Jealous of the gloomy rain clouds at 1pm weather, need the Halliwell Manor sweater, and I am soooo happy that your thoughts on The Reformatory aligned with mine!! Still one of my favorite books of the year. Oh, and as a professional music director - your choice in music for this vlog *chefs kiss* OkayLoveYaBye

@haley5803 День назад

My god, when you showed those sections of Cows, my brain went immediately to "MY EYES! MY EYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!" from spongebob.

@bethbergeron5840 3 дня назад

Ok I’m gonna suggest something. I hope it’s ok. What about a long shelf above the tv (same length as the entertainment center)for the Titanic? It’s such an interesting piece and I loved the pop of color in your living room.

Cows was definitely an "experience" thats for sure.... lol.

@Kim_Music_books_racing_fan 8 дней назад

Commenting as I watch, so I may edit. The Reformatory is on my TBR because I'm pretty sure it's based upon the real life Florida School for Boys (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_School_for_Boys?wprov=sfla1 ). I live barely an hour away from it, so while I'll know the book will probably pack a punch, especially given just how true it is, I'm always a fan of reading local stuff.

@melissas_cozy_corner 3 дня назад

If you are looking for a book to scare your pants off, I just read Crypt of the Moon Spider by Nathan Ballingund. It is only 100 pages long, but 100 pages is really enough. Creepy, crawly, and filled with some of the most beautiful writing as a horror novel. Just beware, there are 🕷

I temporarily DNFd the reformatory, but after finding it in a little free library, I am motivated to continue!

@ravenleigh9155 День назад

I actually threw up in my mouth reading cows. But I encourage people to experience the trauma so I can talk to someone about it 😂

@GavinReadsItAll 3 дня назад

I use command strips haha I’m so sorry they didn’t work for you! I’m hoping you can find a better alternative

@hayleycat4899 3 дня назад

@@GavinReadsItAll I hope so lol maybe they didn’t work because It’s so hot where im at! Louisiana heat is no joke lol! But I have been watching your videos since you first started and I think you have to be my favorite booktuber. I just love the amount of creativity you put into your videos! 💕

@emmal7510 4 дня назад

Given what I know about Cows, please don't let the internet convince you to read Hogg, by Samuel R. Delany, if you haven't read anything else by him. Or, probably, at all.

@asmergoli249 2 дня назад

Please read Wetlands by Charlotte Roche it was published when I was 15 and it disturbed me quite a lot 😅

@ClosTintedWorld 7 дней назад

The Reformatory is amazing, I read When the Reckoning Comes by LaTanya McQueen around the same time and that was also incredible, one of my favourite reads of last year. Highly recommend if you haven’t already read it! I read Cows recently and whilst I like extreme horror, I did not like this. It was just grim and I hate horror that’s just gross to be gross 😂

I would never read any of these books I am too easily disturbed by things. Although I must say when you showed the excerpts from Cow in the coffee shop portion I genuinely laughed out loud because I don't understand how anyone would write that and publish it. Nasty.
