The audiobook for Pet Sematary is phenomenal!!! Michael C. Hall is extremely talented!

@nightmarishcompositions4536 Год назад

Having Dexter narrate a legendary horror story to me was an amazing experience.

Something about you saying you threw up made me wanna read it 🥲like I don’t wanna throw up but I wanna know why you did lmao

@haileyhughes Год назад

LOLLL ME! the curiosity gets me every damn time

@HeatherB81 Год назад

I know, right? I just read the content warnings and it says there is cannibalism… maybe that’s why?

@studyaccount4906 Год назад

I LOVE your taste!! This video had every single book I had on my to-read list. So good to see people in media talk about more then Colleen Hoover.

@Annieshauntedhauls Год назад

Just getting into the horror genre and trying to navigate what I like and don’t like so these lists are so helpful! I’ve definitely learned I don’t like body horror 😂

@nightmarishcompositions4536 Год назад

Sometimes I think body horror is so over the top gross that I think it’s hilarious, but I can totally understand why it’s not everybody’s cup of tea 😅

@mariarutz9842 Год назад

I’m not a Horror fan but I do enjoy an excellent psychological thriller with twist or turn/mystery. Looking forward to that video Hailey 🤩

@haileyhughes Год назад

can’t wait to film it! should be up in the next couple months 🥰

@littlemiss131 Год назад

Yes yes yes!!

@alwaysreading Год назад

Hailey please also do one for missing child trope too pls!! Combined with terror child trope is okay too 😊😂

@haileyhughes Год назад

oh hell ya!! definitely doing this 😌

@jimlarose633 Год назад

Invisible Monsters is one of my favorites and I didn’t know there was a Remix. So weird how we experienced the same story so differently, in a very cool way

@ReadingWithMeg Год назад

Every single person on this earth MUST read Brother and MUST give it a 5 star

@haileyhughes Год назад

EXACTLY 😌

@Taylorwintz Год назад

The ruins is my favorite book ever. I own a paperback copy I found at a goodwill, on audio book and a signed copy.

@haileyhughes Год назад

signed copy?! 😱 SO cool!!

@Taylorwintz Год назад

One of favorite horror books I read this year was The Clown in the Cornfield.

@haileyhughes Год назад

i love that one!!

@holliyates10 Год назад

I’ve never read a horror book but I’m intrigued. Do you have any recommendations/could you make a video on books to ease into the genre? I don’t wanna start off too crazy 😂

@Reyshy Год назад

I know the feeling. It happened to me with BL. Specifically Yaoi. I watched Gravitation and after the kiss scene in the elevator A light from the sky came down on me and the angels sang the song of the lord, I was like, mmmm I like this, lets see what else is out there...and I ended Up at The legend of the blue wolves. 20 years later I still have flashbacks of war about it T.T

@trishee7625 Год назад

Pet Semitary…The G.O.A.T. No pun intended!

@haileyhughes Год назад

this actually made me lol 😭💀

@adamnreader4599 Год назад

16:20 i LOVE pet sematary because the writing just so clearly expresses the futility of it all and the inevitability of it all. the scene where his wife is struggling to come back home because she KNOWS that something is wrong but can't gives me goosebumps!!

@nightmarishcompositions4536 Год назад

Great choices. I’ve read Carrie multiple times and it makes me extremely emotional every time. Being a socially awkward outcast raised in a terrible environment and subjected to constant bullying can make this book hit really close to home. Pet Semetery is one of King’s most hard hitting horror thrillers. I can imagine it hits even harder for fathers who have lost a child or have a fear of losing a child. The Ruins I didn’t care for. I thought it had a cool villain and interesting concepts but I hated all the characters lol. Best Friend’s Exorcism is cheesy but in a great way. It’s campy, heartwarming 80’s horror and filled with wonderful nostalgia. Loved the ending. I haven’t read the other ones but they’re all on my tbr (:

@Booknerd1 Год назад

I own Ruins I will eventually read it after I am done with the Grant County series by Karin Slaughter. I also loved Carrie and My Best Friends exorcism.

@andreavelez4968 Год назад

My bff exorcisms is also an all-time fav cried at the end 🤣

@kimberleymonroe1157 Год назад

Loved this book, it's a shame the movie couldn't capture that same emotion

@krislynfoley1098 Год назад

i loooovveee your recommendations. I can't WAIT for the slasher reccs

@danhickey5707 6 месяцев назад

I am late to this video, but very cool choices and I appreciate the expansive idea of the Horror genre. I'm gonna check out that Marisha Pessl book... I liked her debut (?) "Special Topics in Calamity Physics", but, for some reason, I never picked up "Night Film". And, although it's not exactly Horror, I highly recommend Jeff Vandermeer's weird, unsettling "Southern Reach Trilogy". It's a TRIP.

@sbrdragonfly Год назад

nuh uh how tf did you know about the lost tapes thing. I feel like you were somehow there in those late nights while I strained my eyes looking at a glowing screen watching a lady on aboat or the chruch with an owl man. unlocked memories I forgot I had, man

@tylerpeck9754 8 месяцев назад

Never even heard of “Brother”… now I’m intrigued

@Uchoobdood Год назад

You might try reading some Aron Beauregard books. I recommend yellow, or the slob. It is splatterpunk and obviously pretty extreme. Hope you like it!

@gracekami4655 Год назад

I read The Ruins and honesty, it frustrated me more than anything. I didnt like any of the characters. It wasnt a bad book, i just expected something different. As for Brother. I absolutely LOVE that book. Its one of my favorites. That ending. AMAZING.

@nightmarishcompositions4536 Год назад

Felt the same way. It had some really cool concepts but I hated all the characters and ended up not liking it.

@arunimadutta04 Год назад

@spanky3610 Год назад

Carrie’s actual story is great, but all the extra stuff King mixed into the book threw me out of Carrie’s story every time. That is the reason I did not enjoy the book as much as I wanted to.

@cindywingetbooks Год назад

Same! That is how I felt about Cujo as well.

@dannyjorde2677 6 месяцев назад

I disagree, the interviews and testimonies are the best things in the book, and it helps you to understand the story better. Plus, it's a very original way to show you what happened.

@spanky3610 6 месяцев назад

Remind what book I made that comment. Sorry I don’t remember.

@SG-kt3vj Год назад

I know it's not your thing but I love your recommendations so please please please do a Fantasy/Magical book list! Doesn't your bestie love that genre? Do a video w her?! Love your channel 💛

@whatruthreads Год назад

These are perfection!!!! Just got Chuck Palahniuk to read out of this list 😍

@libby10318 Год назад

Totally agree about the Pet Sematary audio book, Michael C. Hall is phenomenal reading it. I read Survivor last year due to you and Mique raving about it and it was so disturbing! Some parts were very difficult to read but like you said, you also feel empathy and sadness too. It was well written. I own a few of these so definitely going to get to some more this year, love your horror recs 🥰

@haileyhughes Год назад

oh yay!! that makes me so happy 🥹💗

@shimerrill967 Год назад

i love horror ❤️ movies and books Always looking for something new. i like to imagine what the characters would look like in my mind and if i like a character enough, I’ll put them in a video game to see how they’d react in that situation

@cindywingetbooks Год назад

I just bought Brother 😀 I also reread Pet Sematary last month and it was just as great the second time around. Probably even more effective this time around now that I am a parent 😉 I don't think I could stomach either The Ruins or Survivor. My BF Exorcism is great! I liked the book club vampire one a tiny bit more however and I can't wait to dive into How to Sell a Haunted House!

@Dogloverplus2 Год назад

Do you think someone should read the original before reading the remix?

@america_grace 11 месяцев назад

@@Dogloverplus2 the original is definitely easier than the remix because it’s in order, so you don’t have search for the next chapter/page to read, so for that reason i would say original first, unless you enjoy that challenge!

The Ruins is one of my absolute favorite books. The movie changed one of the scariest plot points (for me) in the book but probably for the best because it’s just so unsettling 🥲
