Great line up, you two! Here's my spooky quest: The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby (I so want to say, Babe like Moira Rose, LOL), The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, House of Leaves, and Ordinary Monsters. I LOVE spooky, spooky is my every season, season.

One of the best literature gothic horror novels was written in 1897. "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. Reads like a journal with letters, diaries of increasing encounters with Count Dracula and the lives he put in despair .

Book 3 of the Lost Queen is out on December 3rd!

I think independent book stores are sooooo cool. I can't wait until my husband and I go on our next road trip, just so I can scope out some book stores. Hey, have you been to Powell's in Portland, OR? Oh, that place is a must stop, for sure.

I love you vids! Spooky season reads: The Woman in Black, The Heart Shaped Box, Weyward, Home Before Dark 💀🎃👻

Glad you're enjoying! And thanks so much for the shout out.

I love just sitting down and listening to you guys talk 🥰 Gotta watch Interview with a vampire!

I'm also planning to read Salem's Lot. 👻👻 Love Tayler's shirt!

Spooky books aren’t my thing, but I usually go back to Discovery of Witches for my re-read this time of year. It’s definitely an “autumn” book. And I’ll echo everyone else. You’ve become my favorite hang out every week 😊

I'm currently reading Erik Larson's The Splendid and the Vile about Churchill/WWII, etc. I recently bought The Demon of Unrest and can't wait to start it. I'm also reading War Outside My Window: The Civil War Diary of LeRoy Wiley Gresham (he's a teenage boy who lived in Georgia with his family who owned plantations and slaves). I have also purchased Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Just finished a re-read of Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, going to be starting the next book in that series soon. So many books, so little time!!!!!!!!

Glad you’re reading Joe Hill, if you pay attention there are some Easter eggs and crossovers with Mr. Mercedes, which I believe was written around the same time. And if I may make a suggestion check out Chuck Tingle and Grady Hendrix - I’ll be reading How to Sell a Haunted House next week.

There are so many book stores in Santa Fe. There was Geronimo's, Book Mountain, Beastley, Op.Cit, and in Albuquerque there is Page One and Title Wave.

How does it take you 4 days to finish a sub 300 page NOVEL when you're 2/3rds in?

Love the scary picks! I can't wait to read Bringer of Dust. I'm going to read The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson now.

Great haul guys! Taylor, I couldn't read the first Outlander book until I watched the show. Something about the Scottish words was difficult for me. I suggest giving it another shot, because the books are fabulous! Brandon, the Stand is one of my favorite Stephen King books! I have to say that his vampires weren't my favorite though. Now Anne Rice's vampires, yes indeed! Have fun guys, these are some great books! ❤

Taylor……did you know there is an extra chapter for Verity? If so, did you read it, if not you should 🤯 drive.google.com/file/d/1yMcoflllH6OhrFkpEVYm65c7Uypxw8H3/view?usp=drive_link

I read The Last House on Needless Street! Fabulous! 5 stars!

Please dress as King and Rice but man as woman and woman as man.

Loved your book chat! I am reading Frankenstein...never read it before. Starts off in a very surprising way, slowly building.

I love spooky season recommendation lists! I've been watching so many, and I've heard the Last House on Needless Street is wild. I'm moving that to the top of my TBR. Thanks for another great video!

Love this! Spooky Season is upon us. Yes to gothic, atmospheric and ghosts but no to horror - I'm a scaredy cat! I'll try to send some cooler weather over, it was 7°c here this morning. Enjoy all your reads.

I don't celebrate spooky season, but I do enjoy thrillers on occasion. Right now, I'm listening to Tress of the Emerald Sea (one of your recommendations, thank you! ) and I'm reading aloud Three Bags Full (another recommendation, thank you! 😊) to a friend who has developed vision issues.

I Love Anne Rice and need to read more Stephen King. I am currently reading The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly that a coworker brought me and told me I had too. Next for spooky season I plan on reading Dracula and Frankenstein because this is my year of reading classics, sprinkled with a few other things. You guys have inspired me to read more! So I’ve went from barely reading to it’s an enjoyable goal for my everyday now :)

I LOVED salems lot! I’m not a jumpy person but his descriptions are so well written there’s parts my heart was pounding along with the characters 😂 and as for the stand it’s giant n takes some reading but totally worth it, you guys are making me want to dig out my Stephen kings books again 😂

Love Anne Rice!

They made NOS4A2 into a series about 5 years ago. Something to add to your watch list.

I read Interview with the Vampire about 25 year ago and I finished it but it was a slog and I haven't picked up another Anne Rice after it. I know a lot of people love her novels but she just wasn't for me.

The closest I came to what you read were Jay Kristoff's books (Empire of the Vampire). Next year I have Washington Irving. In the future, I'm interested in reading from King's son, Locke & Key (but I don't know what genre the series belongs to). As for what I'm reading this season, that thing is romance

It seems hotly debated whether NOS4A2 is a Halloween or a Christmas read. I look forward to your review and possibly your opinion on the debate as it is currently on my TBR.

My husband and I accidently watched the movie Poor Thing or whatever the name is. It was so weird but beautifully filmed. We kept asking each other what in the world were we watching. We watched the whole movie and weren't sure what we thought when it was over. I am glad to hear you talk about it and because of that I have fonder memories of it. Some of your book picks sound scary, good luck with them.I just finished a book I read because of you, CJ Sansoms Dark Fire. I like his books so much and glad you mentioned them. It takes me forever to read them and I don't know if it is because of the small print or that I am enthralled with them. Poor Cromwell just lost his head. Have fun being scared.

Read both unabridged The Stand and Swan Song and both are amazing! I had someone tell me about the Rage book and I looked and I have the paperback in good shape that includes it so I immediately got a book preserving bag to protect it 😂.

Like you, I like to read time travel books. Two really good ones are Kindred by Octavia E. Butler and The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis.

Interview with the vampire much better in book than the movie. Don't stop with that one though, hit book #2 Lestat. Thats where you really get an understanding of what Ann Rice was making. Read the series, very good. Much better Audio to be honest. Enjoy

Love that edition of “Salem’s Lot” 🤤!

I read The House of Needless Street in spooky season in 2022. I gave it 4 stars, spooky! Currently reading The Whispering Dead by Darcy Coates, loving it! Just finished Lost Man's Lane by Scott Carson for October book club, creepy premise but too wordy, didn't have to be 500 plus pages. The book would have been better if he had narrowed down his narative.

Good stuff! I’m rereading Bag of Bones by King for October. It’s a great ghost story; I highly recommend it. Horror is not my thing, but ghosts are good lol.

Douglas Preston has done numerous collabs with another author “Preston & Child” I have read numerous of their books highly recommend. I think I’m going to put this one by Douglas Preston on my to read list sounds very good

You two have quickly become my favorite booktubers! Tell Tayler that I am currently about 200 pages into Bringer of Dust and it is darker and more intense than Ordinary Monsters and I am loving every minute of it. Can't wait to hear her thoughts.

I’m a big Stephen King fan. I started reading his books in the ‘70s when I was probably way too young to do so (pre-teen & early teen). Of those early books, The Shining is my all time favorite. The next would be The Dead Zone. Tayler, if you like realistic time traveling stories that might be up your alley. It’s not technically time traveling, but the main character wakes from a long coma with a new psychic ability. I don’t want to say more but it might be something you would like. I remember being pretty scared reading ‘Salem’s Lot. With all of that said, I picked up The Stand when I was probably 12 or 13 and I couldn’t get into it. I was probably way too young for it to grab me. I’ve never returned to it, but I’m curious to hear what you think of it Branden. I’ve also read Interview With A Vampire. I loved it!

I will be interested to hear what you think of Poor Things. I don't read reviews on books.

Two recommandations: Uzumaki, a japanese manga. Super flipping. Never thought snails were scary before reading that. The Troop from Nick Cutter, he took inspiration from Stephen King. Highly recommend!

Also, The Exorcist is the scariest book and movie out there!

All excellent picks!! Of course Stephen King is always top of any scary list. A book I love is Ghost Story by Peter Straub, who was a co-writer with King on The Talisman. Suspenseful and I plan to re-read Ghost Story this month and I almost never read books again! And love Joe Hill, maybe I was one who recommended earlier ha. Confession- I started reading last house on needless street (I also see it as needles😂) and gave up as I just couldn’t get into the flow. I can’t wait to hear what you think.

If you enjoy fiction that reads like non-fiction Chasing the Boogeyman by Robert Chizmar fits that bill. The less you know going in the better it will be.

Shirley Jackson lived in my town (N. Bennington, VT) when she wrote some if her books. I cover The Lottery and We Have Always Lived in the Castle in my classes. I just bought The Haunting if Hill House. The movie from the 60s is one of my favorite scary movies!

Ahhhhhhh, I had to run over to Amazon to see if I could get the Shirley Jackson book. Only $.99 on Kindle, SOLD! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I put The Last House on Needless Street on hold with Broward County but I think my 90 day free library card will be done by the time it’s available!

I just started "The Death of Jane Lawrence"

I watched that lighthouse movie during a flight to Florida four years ago. I still think of that movie. Haunting and disturbing.

That’s what she said! lol. I have found my people.

Join us while we share the books we're looking forward to cracking into for spooky season! 👻
