Highly recommend Home Before Dark by Riley Sager! It's about a woman whose family lived in a supposedly haunted house when she was a kid; her dad wrote a book about what happened there but she doesn't remember any of it and so goes back to the house as an adult to investigate. The book is divided between present day from the woman's perspective and chapters of the book the dad wrote.
I recently listened to The Final Girls Support Group by Grady Hendrix and it was honestly so fun while also being an interesting commentary on violence against women. Highly recommend 🙌🏼
Definitely read the Hannibal books! They're sooo good! I reread red dragon not too long ago and it's still a book I read cover to cover because I cannot put it down. Anthony Hopkins is amazing as Hannibal but the books are fantastic. Cheers!
I really want to read NOS4A2 (it sounds brilliant) but every time I go to read it, I pick up a Stephen King book instead as many of the older ones I need to read. I wasn't a big fan of 'final girls sg' but the authors other books are still appealing, especially Horrorstor. I'm told you need to get a physical copy to enjoy it fully so I'll get to it eventually (I'm a ebook/audiobook user for most of my reading).
So funny, I just mentioned that one! HORRORSTÖR is weird, but a lot of fun for an IKEA fan. You definitely need a hard copy though, because it adds so much; it’s set up just like a catalogue, and the images on the front and back covers are eerie!
Hanninal Rising is the prequel to Red Dragon, which is followed by Silence of the Lambs, and then ends with Hannibal. All great. Also, imagine being so badass you write a book and then nearly 150 years later, you're the main character of its prequel haha.
I thin you would enjoy Thomas Harris' books! If I remember correctly they had some differences. Enough to be worthy to read and see the movies ^^ I love your recommendations but I'm such a scared cat. So I only dare to tiptoe around the "horror line"
I would definitely try reading Dracula before the prequel if you can. I’d really recommend a recent version of the audiobook that features Tim Curry, Alan Cummings, and some others; I think they all read it really well, and made it quick to get through. Also, thanks for the rec’s! I really want to read Hendrix’s “Southern Book club’s Guide…” soon! I read one order of his books, HORRORSTÖR; it was weird, but definitely has a lot of fun references for anyone who remotely appreciates IKEA 😄
@@morganalisonstewart I think it’s a good idea to get a sense of the original. I haven’t read Dracul yet (but I definitely want to!), so I don’t know if it’s going to hint at anything in the original, but it wouldn’t hurt to have the full story. 🙂 I also love that it’s written by Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew! What a fun family tradition 😆
The show for NOS4A2 was fine but not great... I loved the book so the show didn't hold up like I wish it would have. If you haven't read Wraith, I would recommend that! It's a graphic novel that's the backstory to Manx and how he got that way.
I read Red Dragon and the Silence of the Lambs in July. I'm gonna be honest... I found the writing in Red Dragon to be very choppy and bad, and hard to follow in some places. It caught me by surprise because I didn't really see anyone mention the bad writing. The Silence of the Lambs improves quite a bit, and I gave it 5 stars. Just FYI 😂
Not related to the video, but what do you do with books you don't want anymore? I wanna give it to somebody I know who'll read it, but I also want to donate it to a library
Excellent recs for this spooky month! 🎃
Thank you!
I’m currently reading the classic Dracula and 10000% recommend! Such a page turner for a classic!
I need to grab myself a copy!!
the smoke when you blew out the candle was more atmospheric than the candle itself
haha I wish it stayed like that!
Love these recs!! One of the books that scared me the most but I still carry with me is The Patient by Jasper DeWitt

Thanks for the recommendation!!
you should read my best friend’s exorcism by grady hendrix!!💕
I hear that one is good too :)
Omg girl!!!! Ive been collecting the silence of the Lambs books and after the practical magic series thats what im diving into! I can't wait yay
I recently listened to The Final Girls Support Group by Grady Hendrix and it was honestly so fun while also being an interesting commentary on violence against women. Highly recommend 🙌🏼
Ooh excited to hear a positive review!
I have the final girls one on my tbr, looking forward to read it :D

NOS4A2 has been on my list for so long, but I always talk myself out of it. I'll have to make some time to check it out finally.

This ...Horrorstor sounds super intriguing!

Just read the haunting of hill house myself. Loved it.
Long live the algorithm!
Woo!

Hey is that lady Dracula 🧛♂️
Haha yesssssss!!
love this list!

Oh this is good to know! Maybe I should look into readign Dracula first then!

I’m on the last chapter of The Haunting of Hill House right now. It’s great! 10/10 spooky time.
SO GOOD! Perfect amount of spook IMO.
NOS4A2 is very good.
I'm reading Dracula right now...it's a struggle. I am enjoying some of it but it's a little bit of a slog
Hm, now I'm debating lol
@@morganalisonstewart well I finished Dracula last night. It was pretty good. I think it's worth a read.

Haha this is good to know because I wasn't sold on the show. The only reason is morbid curiosity...
The haunting of hill house was so good!! Finished it in a day lol.
Algorithm power!

I donate them if I don't want them!
@@morganalisonstewart Thank you!
NOT THE PONYTAIL
NOOOOO!!!!
NOS4A2 the show was infuriating to me. I didn't care for it at all, the book however is one of my faves.
