Enjoy!
Great to see a channel about scary books. There’s lots about scary movies and games, but I find books tend to be more ambiguous and therefore scarier.
Hey, I haven’t even finished the video yet but just wanted to say that your videos are great and you definitely have the best reviews and explanations for books that I have seen:) I hope you are having a great day and keep it up!
Thank you! I really do appreciate this!
Keep up the excellent videos!
Its a small thing but a huge thing that you hold up the book the whole time thanks for that
I love Book Tube and it’s so refreshing to have a male point of view. You’ve quickly become one of my faves🖤
Great review, Jimmy.
Great to see the video upload! Thanks for the spooky recommendations! 👻
Subscribed for the Stephen King collection, but you’re becoming one of my favorite channels for your recommendations! Im gonna have to check out The Chestnut Man, your description gave me the movie Seven vibes.
And Odd Thomas was the series that actually got me back into reading. I read the first one and within a month I was already waiting for my preorder of the 6th book that wasn’t out yet lol but I can get it not being for everyone. But that was where I fell in love with Koontz….until King took over my life lol
Hey! I just discovered your channel and I really enjoy your videos! I will definitively read The Chestnut man. I hope you continue for a long time and I wanted to let you know that you have a “french fan” from Montreal, Canada :)
Merci!
I really love your videos, man. Keep it up!
I *almost* bought The Chestnut Man yesterday but already had 5 books in my arms heading to the till. Looks like I'm making a visit to my favourite book store tomorrow! Your content is great by the way (:
Working my way through all your videos. Love how you don’t drag on and get right into the books. Question - could you make a video with a list of books that scared you or creeped you out the most? Be it short story or full novel. Very curious as to which books scratched that itch for you the most. Mine so far would have to be:
Summer of Night (that dead soldier, and the basement scene)
Dark Matter by Michele Paver
Burnt Offerings by Robert Marasco
The Woman in Black
I’m Thinking of Ending Things (something about the oddity of the world and people just creeped me out)
The Handyman by Bentley Little (the main antagonist is so unsettling)
I got your video about ranking Stephen Kings books recommended quite recently and fell in love with your videos.
I found you while looking for Stephen King’s recommendations, and I love all your videos! I am definitely checking out The chestnut man, it seems great! Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾
Awesome recs, Jimmy! I'm definitely adding The Chestnut Man and The Deep to my tbr!
Just FYI, The chestnut man has been made into a series on netflix.... it released about 3 weeks ago.
Man I love your channel!! I have downloaded most of the books you've recommended (cuz I read on Kindle exclusively). Your review style is so clean and accesible. I really love your videos! Keep it up! Big hug from Argentina.
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Thanks for the recommendation man, cool video coz bit of a spoiler but not waaaay over the top spoil still makes me interested
Very keen to check out the chestnut man! Was gonna watch the Netflix series but definitely going to read the book first!
Check out 'Intercepts' by TJ Payne as well! A great horror book if you like themes such as human experimentation, madness and delusions that is an absolutely page turner!
Thanks for the rec! I will look into that novel.
Hello sir I always enjoy your reviews. The Chestnut Man was stupendous.
Thanks! And Yes!…I was waiting to hear from someone who had read it.
I only read Odd Thomas. It was years ago however, I loved it a lot. It was the first Koontz book I'd ever read. I moved down the library book shelf and started reading King right afterward.
I’m so psyched I stumbled across your channel. I’m always looking for Horror novels to read. I love your reviews and you’ve definitely given me some great recommendations!
I just came across your channel the other day and I’ve already watched most of your videos. You have great content and recommendations! Absolutely love it
Thanks! I’m glad the UA-cam algorithm let it happen!
Great recommendations, I keep hearing good things about "The Deep" and Nick Cutter in general. Also, seeing that cover for "Midnight Under the Big Top" makes me want to (re)read "Something Wicked This Way Comes".
Love the collection man, just found you. excited to watch more
The Chestnut Man TV show on Netflix is good. I'll check out the book.
Omg, of course The Chesnut man is a book ! I have been waiting for it on Netflix but now I want to read it first 💯
So Netflix is adapting it? Do you know if it’s a movie or a series? I feel just a movie wouldn’t be enough.
@@jimmymango it says season 1, looks like 6 episodes. I'm hoping it's the one and same.
Hmmm i think ill read chestnut man. I like a good serial killer mystery book
the Odd thomas series is really good! your going to like the series, a particular favorite is Brother Odd.
Perfect! Thanks for the comment!
The Chestnut Man was outstanding....I will admit I did not pick who the killer was! I think I need to invest in some Nick Cutter soon.
If you haven't read it, Intensity by Dean Koontz is a fantastic read. Mostly thriller, as the name suggests, with some creepy and supernatural aspects. It really doesn't let up and is hard to put down. I definitely wouldn't consider it traditional horror but it will leave you unsettled and have your heart racing!
I have read it yes. Wasn’t my favourite Koontz novel but an exciting read for sure. Thanks for comment!
I think that twittering from the circus of the dead story you were talking about ended up as an episode of the Shudder Creeepshow series.
Brother Odd was way, way better than the first 2. If you ever have the chance, listen to the audiobook version of it, because David Aaron Baker is probably the best narrator I've ever heard.
Thanks for the feedback. That gives me hope for the rest of the series!
The Chestnut Man is one of best killer-thrillers I've ever read. A must read.
Hey, I'm a new subscriber. Your vids are great.! Thanks for the awesome reviews.
Question. Approximately how long does it take you to read a book of around 400 pages? Just curious if you do any type of speed reading?
Hey! Welcome! I don’t speed reading purposely but I would say it would take me about a week to read a book of that size.
Will check out 1,2 and 5
Might do midnight under the big top first
Sounds very interesting
Oooo getting chestnut man. Never heard of it. Love a good serial killer book. Hope it's as good as a Thomas Harris novel. Thanks
Have you read Ritual by Graham Masterton? I read it years ago. Not sure if it’s as good as I remember, but it’ll put you off your dinner for sure
What are those two beautiful books in the background? With the Cross and the lightning?
The one with the cross is my limited edition of Horns by Joe Hill and the other is Revival by King
@@jimmymango Nice. Thanks for telling.
Hey man I love your videos, but after the success of your Stephen King video I think you should put your face in the thumbnail more often. It helps people recognize your content and it's just what the most successful UA-camrs seem to do. But love the content anyways really reignited my passion for reading.
love!
I loved these two books but got a bit bored of the 3rd.
Intensity is my favourite book from Dean Koontz, if you haven’t read that get into it.
Where are you from? I’m trying to place how you say certain words but it’s tough! :)
Canada
Have you read The Terror by Dan Simmons? Would love to get a review if you have.
Great timing! I’m halfway through it right now. It’ll be in my next wrap up video.
Have you read The Baysitter? It’s nonfiction but a stand out of the year for me!
I don’t really read non-fiction. So no I haven’t.
*Hey, talk about the voyeur by gay TALESSE !! Talk about ok ?*
I unfortunately have read 30 or 40 Dean Koontz books. Don’t waste your time. They never rise above mediocrity.
