One book that I suggest but isn`t very recent is The Scarlet Gospel by Clive Barker and this is the sequel to his Hellbound story[the Pinhead/Cenobite priest]. This is the final sequel and has a certain fantasy and supernatural feel yet is an incredibly addictive and satisfying read. I highly reccomend it to you.
The last two books I've read are Fairy Tale by Stephen King and Reborn by Stephanie Ellis. But I highly recommend Stephanie's book The Five Turns Of The Wheel. Folk horror at its finest and Reborn is a sequel to that.
I am also a fan of Ania Ahlborn and Jennifer Hillier and read most of their backlist. I would recommend “The Shuddering” (Ahlborm) and “The Butcher” (Hillier)… you will love those novels.
I agree completely on Clown in a Cornfield 2. I actually think I ended up liking it better than the first! This is a great wrapup, always enjoy hearing your booktakes as they always end up adding to my TBR!
I hadn't heard of any of these books before! The T. Kingfisher book sounds so interesting. Modernizing a Poe story is something you'd think more people would do!
"Creepy and funny", is a perfect way to describe Kingfisher's horror work. I haven't read any of these (Besides What Moves...) but that cover for Into the Sublime is incredible! Might need to pick it up just for that lol
I recommend reading The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum. This is a work of fiction, but is based on the true crime case of Sylvia Likens. This book will show you what horror truly is. This book is heartbreaking, and the writing and character development are amazing. The Girl Next Door is the most chilling book I have ever read. The story is told in first person from a man named David, and he is looking back on how horrific the event was. A 5 star read for me.
Started buying up T. Kingfisher after reading What Moves the Dead too :) Really liked The Twisted Ones and I'm almost done with The Hollow Places. I think I liked The Twisted Ones a little better but I'm quite enjoying Hollow Places too. I'll be picking up more of her stuff!
I read The Fall of the House of Usher by Poe immediately before reading WMTD, and it feels like T. Kingfisher carried over Poe’s tone for the story with the same basic premise: the MC coming to help the Ushers, brother Roderick and his sister, Madeline. Both are interesting stories with witty dialogue. The cool thing is reading TFOTHOU prepped me for WMTD, which added more characters to the story, filled in the missing info readers wanted from Poe, and gave us characters written in way that feel a little more relatable for a modern audience. I loved them both and will always recommend reading Poe’s story first (it’s less than 70 pages). I enjoyed Jar of Hearts and Things We Do in the Dark by Hillier, and I’m a big fan of Ania Ahlborn. The Clown in a Cornfield series is on my TBR! 🤡 🌽 Right now I’m reading Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. 🧛♀️
What Moves the Dead is the first book I enjoyed from T. Kingfisher. I'll be interested to know your thoughts on their other books. I've also read The Hollow Places, and The Twisted Ones, and I thought they were ok, but I really liked What Moves the Dead.
A bit off topic but I would like to suggest you Dabbe : Cin Carpmasi. It is a found footage Turkish horror movie. It's available on Netflix probably. Do watch it you won't regret
I then suggest that u watch the movie called Doctor Sleep. Its an adaptation of the Shining story that was done w/the guidance and overseeing of S. King himself and whereby the ending of this movie is true to King`s story, unlike the Kubrick production that had a different ending.
All added to my wish list. Love how you explain the books. Makes me wanna read them all NOW

I just finished Clown in a Cornfield 2 over the weekend, very entertaining and well written sequel. I hope there's a third book as well!
There needs to be a third!
I found that after reading the two Clown in a cornfield books that I’m no longer overlooking YA for horror books.
just found your channel and love it already! definitely will be adding these to my reading list!
Love your channel and another great video as always. I have just got jar of hearts from the library.😊

I’ve read it!
Good list! I haven't read Ahlborn in ages. I need to pick up another of her books.
I loved Brother! So disturbing and sad. It felt like a character study to me (which I love).
So excited to read Frendo Lives!
I’m sold on clown in a cornfield 2. It sounds great.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on The Fall of the House of Usher. I def want to read that story!
Love your hair color! It’s looks great with your skin tone!
This is perfect - reading ‘Imaginary Friend’ now and this helps prep for what’s next
That sounds like an interesting read!
@@mandysmorgueofhorror If you haven’t ready you must! It was held high by Stephen King and is excellent so far, but was a definite recommended read.
do not disturb 1 and 2 was about evil clowns (very gory though)
Ohhh I’ll have to look these up!
@@mandysmorgueofhorror they are very violent...i dint like reading it to tell ya the truth

Which one of those two would you recommend most?
@@mandysmorgueofhorror probably The Twisted Ones :)

Honestly the last books I read were misery n the shining..
Classics!
