So many fantastic fall & Halloween themed books!
Fall books are the best vibe! Thanks for watching!
I loved this!!! 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
I'm so glad to hear that you loved it! Your support means a lot to me!
I definitely recommend Joyland by Stephen King! It's a coming of age story with great old school amusement park atmosphere. It mostly takes place in the fall, so perfect for this time of year. And the cover is awesome!
I'm excited to read Joyland one day! Great to hear it has fall vibes!!! Thanks for watching <3
100?? Oh no my TBR is in danger 😅 no but for real thank you for all of the amazing recs!!🎃
😂 I own TOO many books! hahaha - thank you for watching!

Thank you, Kelsi, for showing my book Cruel Nature. There is indeed some Halloween-ish stuff in the last story. I do hope you enjoy it!
Thank you again for sending me a copy - I can't wait to read it this Spooky Season :) Thank you, also, for watching!
🎃🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻👻I'm so hyped for Spooky season, the summer heat still remains here in California though. I hate it.
eeee I'm hyped too! It's also hot over here in Louisiana - so I can TOTALLY relate, ahhh! Here's hoping cooler weather finds both of us soon!
☠️👻🎃
🧡🧡🧡🧡
I actually have the graphic novel version of the thief of always, and it’s pretty good. Oh my gosh.
cool!! I'll have to check out that graphic novel
🎃
🧡 :)
One of the most fun and thorough analysis I've seen. I can feel your excitement and love for reading ans media ❤
Awe!!! Thank you so much! That means a lot - I know my friend Kat would appreciate this comment too :)
I have The Autumnal on my TBR this year and I’m so excited! It looks really good! The Legend of Decimus Croome sounds fun! I loved The Moster Club! Adding Kill Yer Pumpkins to my TBR immediately. That sounds amazing. Great video as always! 🎃
I hope you love The Autumnal! That Decimus Croome is high up on my priority list because it sounds so fun and cute like you said! Thank you for watching!!
So many awesome books, I just want to shop your shelves! 😂 🎃
I need to shop my shelves more often instead of shopping for books elsewhere 😂 Thank you so much for watching! 🧡
Oh my gosh this list is EPIC! Not like I needed more on my TBR for fall but now I have more 😂 Alsoooo you NEED to read the first small spaces book this fall. You gotta!!
I definitely WILL be reading the first Small Spaces book! It WILL happen! Haha I'm holding myself to it! Thank you for watching, Lauren 🧡🧡🧡
Sooooo many added to my tbr lol
haha - so many books and so little time! Thanks for watching!
I love all of the recs! I have one for you. Check out Carrick Glynn by Tony Urban. It's a perfect Halloween, folk horror, novel. I think you would love it! 🎃👻
I'm excited to check that book out!! I actually had it on my list of possibilities for October (I just don't own it sadly!). It sounds GREAT though and hoping to get to it this Spooky Season! Thank you for watching and for the rec 🧡
Thank you for all the recs, Kelsi!! 🎃🖤
Awe! Thank YOU for watching 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
This was epic!! And I did need it!! 🎃👻 So many fun ones here!! Kill Yer Pumpkins was so fun!! 🎃👻
I'm excited to get to Kill Yer Pumpkins!
Amazing viedo. Wow tons of great books I want to read. Thanks for doing this type of viedo!!!
Thanks so much for watching - so happy you enjoyed :)
Meddling Kids was my squad rec :) hope you and everyone loves it as much as I do!

@@literarylove123 awesome! Hope you enjoy it :)
I remembered it was you like right after I recorded, ugh!!! Thank you for watching! I can't wait to read that one!

Awe come on Uncle Andrew!!!!
@@SlimeAndSlashers hahahahahaha
Fantastic video! I am adding so many of these books to my TBR now. Thank you, Kelsi!
🧡🧡🧡 Thank you for watching!!! Appreciate it
I have Red Rabbit on my wishlist. I need to make a note of Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. I've always been intrigued by We Need to Talk About Kevin. Cliff mentioned on his channel that it's a tough read. I love nature vs nurture scenerios. Five Deaths for Seven Songbirds has a great cover. Cool way to read it by pairing it with atmospheric music. Maggie's Grave sounds hauntingly great. Might be a good one to read for Halloween-A-Thon even with immaculate peen destruction. 🤣Terrific wrap up, Kelsi! 📚
oooooh I do think you'd enjoy Maggie's Grave (especially more than Dead Girl Blues). Thanks for watching Kat! I think you'd find We Need to Talk About Kevin a great discussion-worthy book! I'm still thinking about it even weeks late! Appreciate you watching <3 love you!
Awesome list!!! I’ve heard such good things about Devils Night-maybe I’ll finally make time for it this year!
Me too! I really want to get to that one! 🧡🧡🧡 Thank you for watching Crystal :)
👻🎃👍👍
🧡🧡🧡 Thank you for watching!
🎃🎃
🧡🧡🧡
A great list! Have you heard of the middle grade book "The Haunting of Aveline Jones"? By Phil Hickes, I believe, and it takes place at Halloween time. I read it last year, and really enjoyed it. Good, spooky fun. I believe it is the first of a series of books, but this is the only one strictly set around Halloween.
I just heard about that book for the first time! I'm adding it to by pile of possibilities! Thank you so much for the rec and for watching! 🎃
🎃
🧡🎃
This one was a marathon. You did a great breakdown of so many book. I think you must have mentioned The Halloween Moon last year because I read it and enjoyed it last spooky season.
So glad to hear you enjoyed The Halloween Moon - I'm SO excited to get to it!
Loved this! 🎃💀👻
🧡🧡🧡 So glad you loved it, Amanda! And thank you for watching! Appreciate you!
Have you ever seen The Halloween Tree movie, Kelsi?
YES! It's one of my favorite seasonal movies! It's a great adaptation. I also love the Something Wicked This Way Comes movie too. Both are so perfect for fall / autumn time!
👻
🧡🎃 Thank you for watching!
I’ll give some fall watches that are pro wrestling related: 1. Undertaker : He buries them alive . ( this old coliseum vhs but has had several official dvd re-reales so should be easy to find ) 2. Randy savage unreleased(the madness knows no bounds Halloween or Christmas Randy savage is man for all season ) 3. Extreme legends mark callous the punisher (you can find this on you tube ). 4. The wwf wrestling classic 5 wrestlmaina 4 6. The macho man Randy savage & Elizabeth.
Thank you for recommending Mina and the Slayers! I need to read so many of these on your list.
Of course! I always try and rec your books every chance I get :) 🧡 Thank you for watching!
Halloween Night and Halloween Night 2 from R.L. Stine/Point Horror are two of my all-time favorite books.
Point Horror books are so nostalgic! 🎃 Thank you for watching!
🤡🎡🎢
🤡 Appreciate you watching!
Awesome haul and what fun to find horror friendly bookstores! Jurassic Park! 🦖🖤🦕
Jurassic Park represent!!! Thanks for watching!
I just added a Flood of books to my Goodreads TBR after seeing this collection! I also love Clowns and spooky carnival settings! 🤡🤡🤡🎈🎈🎈
I love clowns and carnivals too! so glad you liked this video! thanks for watching!
So excited for this. You did an amazing job with all of the templates and setting this up! Looks fun!
Thank you so much! That means a lot! 🎃🧡
I think I just found my new favorite channel!
Awe! This is so kind! Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video!
Had graveyard school as a kid - no idea they had so many
There really are quite a few! Thanks for watching!
Great insight! Im reading the 1200 page edition...as a writer, love all books and TV versions to determine what is too much compared to what is essential as narrative...great insights you gave...thanks
Thanks for checking this out! Much appreciated!
awesome! can't wait!
Thank you!!! I'm excited too! 🎃
So many fun books!
Thank you! 🤡
"The Funhouse" by Diane Hoh, "Friday The 13th: The Carnival" by Eric Morse, "Taggard Point: Clowns" by Mark Rivers, "Carnival Of The Dead" by Laurence Staig (Point Horror Unleashed), "Nightmare Hall: Dark Moon" by Diane Hoh are some 90s YA featuring carnivals and clowns that I can think of off the top of my head.
The Carnival by Eric Morse is a wish list book of mine! Hope to find it one day even though haha that is a slim chance! Thank you for all the awesome recs!!!
Danger at the Fair by Peg Kehert is soooo good! I do recommend reading Terror at the Zoo first as it's sort of a first book and then Danger at the Fair is the sequel. They're both so much fun! Also, for the Spinechillers books, Dr. Shivers Carnival is unfortunately one of the worst in the series, but Birthday Cake and I Scream is one of the best! I recommend reading the version NOT in the 3-book bind up as it has some differences to the bind-up edition that I think are better! Also, one other carnival AND clown themed book is a middle grade book from the Darkside series by Tom Becker, book #4: Nighttrap. It's a little hard to find in the USA, as it was only published in the UK. But that whole series is so much fun. I would recommend reading the other books in the series before book #4 as the story does build from book to book. They're a lot of fun, kind of a steampunk horror Sherlock Holmes in an alternate version of London where monsters are real and lurk in the shadows!!
Had no idea it was a second book - so thank you! Sad to hear Dr. Shivers Carnival isn't great but excited about Birthday Cake and I Scream! I'll read the edition you suggested! Thank you again :) Also excited to check out the Darkside series!
Have always loved carnival and clown themes, so I'm in awe of your collection! Will definitely have to check some of these out. The Forbidden Game trilogy is one I remember enjoying in the past, but sadly don't own any of those awesome original covers (yet)! 😅
Glad to hear you remember enjoying The Forbidden Game trilogy! I'm excited to get to those at some point :) 🤡 Appreciate you watching!
Thanks for sharing! All these horror books about carnivals and circuses got me wondering have you seen the movie Carnival of Souls? Really great spooky 60's low budget horror movie that's really brilliant and has multiple long sequences set at an abandoned carnival/dance hall that looks like it should be on the shore of a lake but the water is gone so you get all this great imagery of this huge abandoned dance hall that's desolate and piers that go to nowhere.
I haven't seen that movie - I need to check it out though! Thank you! I love movie and book recs! 🤡 Appreciate you watching!
I really liked DARK JOURNEY and THE FUNHOUSE of the books you showed. FUNHOUSE really adds a lot of backstory to the Tobe Hooper horror film. A couple carnival/clown books you might want to look for are MANITOU DOLL by Guy N. Smith and DEAD WHITE by Alan Ryan.
Great to hear you enjoyed Dark Journey and The Funhouse! I can't wait to check those out! Thanks for all the recs and for watching!
