I love this style of video. Some popular books peak my interest and immediately disappear into my TBR void 🤷♀️ this is a way for me to "read" them super quick and decide if they should move up on the list. Love you and this channel! ❤
Last week I went to Brian Keene’s extreme horror bookstore In Pennsylvania and bitch it was the best day of my fucking life!!!! If you’re ever in that area I couldn’t recommend it more, Brian is such a nice cool guy and his store is legit heaven for extreme horror fans. I spent over 300 dollars and I got so many new books and a bunch of them were signed! Also the prices were amazing, I got a signed Kristopher triana, a signed Aron Beauregard, a signed chandler Morrison, and a signed Shane McKenzie. He had all kinds of horror old and new so he also had like Judith sonnet and Daniel Volpe and more current writers. It was literally the highlight of my year and and in September he’s doing an extreme horror extravaganza with all the most famous extreme horror authors and I want to go so bad 😩!! The store is Called vortex comics and books btw
@@ReadingWithMeg it’s in a tiny town called Colombia, it’s the cutest town with all these little shops, it was like an hour and a half - two hours from Philly! I’m from Florida and I legit flew all the way there to go to this bookstore. If you went you should totally do a vlog for the channel, that would be so fun!!
Totally unrelated to this video but I started reading Psych Ward Blues by Judith Sonnet (because of how much you talk about her) and umm…. I’m concerned. Lmao! I love it! 😩😭
Off topic! But do you read manga? You should read Uzamaki, and there's also a manga called Goodnight Punpun that seems right up your alley! I love your videos!
This should be a proper series on your channel, I've read all three entries so far and let me share my THOUGHTS. Cows by Stokoe - for the smart extreme horror girlies, gross and absurd but plenty of social commentary. Decent enough but it's no Julia. Zola by McLusky - this isn't even a horror, it's just vile and gross with fecal matter and rotten cheese everywhere. This book is Sabrina Carpenter. Dead Inside - I think this book is HILARIOUS and definitely for the rom com extreme horror girlies. This is SO Julia.
A book I suggest which is good is Holus Bolus By William Pauley Jr, this book was great and I read it in one sitting 😊 I was hooked I have slowly been reading all this authors books now Description OUR PROTAGONIST is pretty sure he's just committed a murder. The body is newly dead, he's the only one around, and a quick look at the evidence suggests he's guilty as sin. Also, he's totally insane. A rare brain condition causes his memories to reset every day, and because of this, he often wakes up in strange places with no memory of how he got there. He can't even remember his own name. When he's not racking his brain over his shoddy memory, he's arguing incessantly with a disembodied voice that doesn't seem to belong to him, one he can only hear inside his head. He may not know much about the troubling situation he just woke up to, but he knows, without a doubt, that he's completely f*cked. While the odds are certainly stacked against him, there may be hope for our protagonist yet, for clutched in the corpse's cold, clammy hands is a handwritten tome that suggests not only his innocence, but also reveals some bizarre and dangerous secrets, leading him to believe his own apartment building may be to blame... or is, at the very least, an accomplice.
Sounds similar in some ways to "Crash" by J.G. Ballard, a notorious lit-fic exploration of humanities darker recesses. (The film adaptation is worth checking out too.)
I don’t care if this puts me on a registry of some sort or if the FBI is going to come take me to crazy town… I fucking love this book! It was my fav book I read last year and is one of my fav extreme horror books of all time. It is so fucking outrageous and ridiculous and it made me audibly crack up out loud, the part where he says something like “if the football was switched with a baby I wouldn’t have failed gym” had me SCREAMING! I know people rly don’t love this book but the satire just rly worked for me and it introduced me to chandler Morrison who is my favorite extreme horror author/ general author of all time
I read this book and I did enjoy it, but some parts were a little too much for me, dead Inside got me into this author and I have been reading more in his backlist now 😊
If you ever want to take a break from sad, unhinged woman books, I just finished a sad, delusional man book, and it's probably one of the best books I've read in a while. It's This Disaster Loves You by Richard Roper. I think I've found a lit-fic author I will actually read from again, finally!
Ha ha yea when I read Dead Inside, I was like what the hell but I could not stop reading it. Yea the drama of the relationship was kind of unique. Yes please dont bash the author just because you dont like the book and that you think its gross, you need to grow up and go read something else or go to you freaking safe place in the corner
I read this a few months ago after enjoying #thighgap by him. I liked both, although I did like thighgap a lot more. Have you read that one? If you did, do you have any similar recs? 🩷 I’m with you on finding a lot of extreme horror kind of silly, but it’s great on the rare occasion that it’s done well!
I have and it’s a good one! Totally different books lol tbh I have read all his other books except for the short story collection and western ones so far and I recommend every single one
I can’t thank you enough for making this video. Saved me a lot of time and money ❤
Love these spoiler videos!
Thank you! 🩷

This was my introduction book to this genre and I must say I will never be the same lmao
Oh yay. I've been trying to find spoiler reviews for disturbing books.
I think I will still read this book but thanks for talking about it! 😅 I had fun watching your commentary 😂
Thank you so much ☺️

I own Uzumaki and still need to read it I’m slacking!

I have slowly been reading all this authors books now

I wanted to read this!

Yes people have a hard time realizing that this is meant to be funny and not every book is the authors diary lol glad you loved it!
I read this book and I did enjoy it, but some parts were a little too much for me, dead Inside got me into this author and I have been reading more in his backlist now 😊
I get it! I hope you like his other books more!

Oooooh I’ll look it up!
As if life didn't have enough imponderable problems now I have to add "Can you be smothered by a ferret!?" to the list! More research needed!
Hahahah I legit googled it…..I mean I guess a baby makes sense if they can’t pull it off
@@ReadingWithMeg Though hopefully not by a tortoise!
I wish I had known going in that the book was satire, I feel like reading it as if the author was being serious just ruined it for me.
Yeah that’s why I did a re-read because at first I was like wtf and then I was like oh this is full satire lol
Great re-review with legendary censoredness but dang Chandler is a tortured dude.
Hahahah love him
Thank you!
...im late again sry but i would love still to see your unhinged video´s - i got an idea, seems "close to me" ha ha ha, O how i loved that song
The weirdest make a wish foundation
loved it...funny as hell
Thank you!!
Baby eaters are so misunderstood. 🤷
Ugh tell me about it
Ha ha yea when I read Dead Inside, I was like what the hell but I could not stop reading it. Yea the drama of the relationship was kind of unique. Yes please dont bash the author just because you dont like the book and that you think its gross, you need to grow up and go read something else or go to you freaking safe place in the corner
Yeah I admit to being one of the clueless people in the past and I don’t want anyone else to be that lolol
Omg after reading that you aren’t the same person 😅
I guess you could say I am now…..dead inside
I don't think so pretty lady
