It’s SO great to hear someone rave about From Below. Definitely one of my favorite books of all time and it just doesn’t get enough attention!! Subscribing based on our mutual love of this book hehe
Haha! Well, I'm to have you here. That book blew me away. I'm so excited to read her new book this year. It seems like her books just keep getting better and better.
From below is the single most unsettling thing I've ever read except maybe the southern book clubs guide to hunting vampires. It was so creepy and scary and horrifying I almost threw my kindle several times.
I am a HUGE Darcy Coates fan. I have every single book of hers, and have read all of them. If I have to pick one book that I would call my least favorite, it would be "The House Next Door". I really could not connect with that one, but it was by far not a bad book at all. Otherwise, they are all highly recommended reads in my view! I love the fact that you pointed out how her books feel, I thought I was wierd having those thoughts. I'm glad I'm not alone with this😊. Love your channel!!!
Just finished Parasite today and I get what you mean about switching characters after being invested in the previous story. I felt that way after Station 334 I wanted more Saul and Maren. But overall a very fun read.
I just found your page! I think we're the same person! LOL! I feel the same way about the short stories at the end of a book! I agree with most of your opinions on these books, but I love Darcy Coates. She is a phenomenal writer! My favorite book so far has been The Haunting of Leigh Harker! So good!
Calling her books pallet cleansers is perfect! The audiobook I just read was BRUTAL! Like hard to get through kind of brutal! So going back to Darcys books was perfect! She is kind of my "old reliable"
I liked From Below, especially towards the end. For whatever reason, though, I had a harder time connecting to the characters than I have in the other Darcy Coates books I've read.
I've read about 10 or so books by Darcy Coates. She's a little hit or miss for me personally, but I agree that her books are good palette cleansers. Her books remind me of a more adult version of Goosebumps sometimes, which isn't a bad thing. The ones I enjoyed the most were The Folcroft Ghosts, The House Next Door, Gallows Hill, and The Haunting of Rookward House.
I think that's a good description and probably why I love them so much (I still love me some Goosebumps). I haven't read any of the ones you've enjoyed besides Gallows Hill, so I guess I'll have to read 12 more this year. Thanks for the recommendations!
Well you finally convinced me. I just read Quarter to Midnight, her collection of short stories, and it was fantastic. Can't wait to try a full length novel. thanks for all the recommendations!!
great rankings! i've read a handful of darcy coates so far + my favorite has been the carrow haunt. there were a lot of good spooks in it + i loved bernard. he just cracked me up so much through out the book.
I just subscribed to your channel recently! You have inspired me to get back into reading again! I am a full time nursing assistant and also in college part time, so I have recently neglected reading which sucks because I love reading a good book. I usually lean more towards like fantasy, witches and vampires etc but I do love watching spooky stuff, so will have to read more horror 😊❤💜 xxx
Happy New Year! This video is incredibly timely as I'm just finishing my first Darcy Coates book (Parasite) and was wondering which one to read next. I was already leaning toward From Below, and now it's decided. Cheers!
Hey anda what about haunting of ashburn house?? Have you read this book?? I have this book in my tbr list for months but don't know if it's worth time or not 😢
I have The Haunting of Ashburn House and now I feel like I need to read it soon but Below sounds so much more interesting. Maybe I'll just have to read them both 😌
I loved calven manor soo much the characters just made me want to be with them and the manor reminded be of beasts castle from beauty and the beast. Im picking up from below tomorrow though wish me luck.
Haha i was looking up which DC book I read and really didn’t like. Couldn’t get through. It was Craven Manor, right as you picked it up I found it in my Goodreads. Glad I have plenty to look forward to.
Parasite is a good book ( still reading it) I would say if you liked Jhon carpenters the thing then you would like the book as in my opinion the monsters are similar. Hunted which is my favorite book i love because it reminded me of a Steven king book called the girl who loved Tom Gordon both take place in the forest and are books that seem like they could happen in real life
As of now I've only read the haunting of Ashburn house first and the haunting of Blackwood house after because I had enjoyed the haunting of Ashburn house so so so much, but Blackwood kind of let me down. The plot twist was insane and the house's background, but the main character was just so insufferable to me I just couldn't get around her. And the other characters too, I just didn't feel much connection to them, like I felt with Ashburn's main character. Idk, I'll re-read Blackwood again and Ashburn after because I feel like I didn't enjoy them like I should've, but yeah, blackwood's character kind of let me down
Ranking (for future reference): 12. Craven Manor 11. Parasite 10. Gallows Hill 9. Dead Lake 8. The Whispering Dead 7. The Carrow Haunt 6. The Haunting of Blackwood House 5. Hunted 4. Secrets in the Dark 3. Voices in the Snow 2. The Haunting of Leigh Harker 1. From Below
I LOVE HORROR, I JUST KEEP IT CLEAN. I WAS RAISED TO BE AN ATHEIST, BUT THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING AND AMAZES EVERYONE I TELL IT TO. . First, it is impossible that anything you can touch, taste, hear, see or smell on the face of the earth, be it lighting, tornadoes, rocks, life, minerals from salt to plutonium or anything that can be seen with the powerful telescope we have in orbit and beyond what we can see, that could possibly exist without having been created. Because of this, we can be sure that everything that is made had to be made where there was absolutely nothing to make it out of. PEACE.
My pet peeve while reading is when someone tries talking to me while I read
Craven manor is the only one of her books I have read and I LOVED it.
It’s SO great to hear someone rave about From Below. Definitely one of my favorite books of all time and it just doesn’t get enough attention!! Subscribing based on our mutual love of this book hehe

You’ve really intrigued me with From Below. I need to give Darcy Coates a try.
If you get a chance to read it, I hope you love it as much as I do!
Its amazing!!
The soft feeling of the books 😍 I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves that!
Haha. Definitely not the only one. I am more likely to buy them if they're soft 😂
i love the covers to
I love Darcy coats and I love the book what is so much like the book it
A great ranking video.
I've been curious about Darcy Coates lately. This gives me a much better idea of her work now. Thanks Anda!
I havent read any Darcy coates yet but want to this year. Thanks for a great video.😊
Hopefully you enjoy them as much as I do!

Thanks for all the comment. I read Parasite and I was really surprised of the good writing of Coates.

Exactly! They're very pleasant for horror books. You feel satisfied after reading them and that doesn't happen often in horror.

reading "Hunted" now...WOW what a great read it is!!! my first Darcy book and im going to go through them ALL...except Craven Manor
Hey Anda, happy new year! Just wanted to say that you need to read Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian if you haven't. You're gonna love it!!
I loved The Haunting of Leigh Harker x
It's so good! I still think about this book.
Well you finally convinced me. I just read Quarter to Midnight, her collection of short stories, and it was fantastic. Can't wait to try a full length novel. thanks for all the recommendations!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Beware, her books are addicting. Once you start, you can't stop 😂
small horrors was good to
great rankings! i've read a handful of darcy coates so far + my favorite has been the carrow haunt. there were a lot of good spooks in it + i loved bernard. he just cracked me up so much through out the book.
Thank you! Haha, he was a fun character.
Haunting of Ashburn House was the first one I read by her and is probably still my favorite right now🎉

Awesome review! I have From Below .. now I have to read it soon !! Thank you 😊
I really hope you enjoy it! It was one of my favorite books of the year.
Only read one Darcy Coates book so far, From Below and can't wait for what's next. Probably Hunted 🤞
Hunted is GREAT
I gave Gallows Hill 5 stars 😊
Happy New Year! This video is incredibly timely as I'm just finishing my first Darcy Coates book (Parasite) and was wondering which one to read next. I was already leaning toward From Below, and now it's decided. Cheers!
Happy New Year! Hopefully the video helped a bit. Thank you for watching and I hope you do get around to it and love From Below as much as I do!
Hey anda what about haunting of ashburn house?? Have you read this book?? I have this book in my tbr list for months but don't know if it's worth time or not 😢
I'm a big Darcy fan....since 2017. Just downloaded her latest book.
I can't put them down! I haven't purchased the new one yet.
Thanks for the spoiler in Voices in the Snow.
What did I spoil? I can go back in and edit a part out if I gave too much away.
I have The Haunting of Ashburn House and now I feel like I need to read it soon but Below sounds so much more interesting. Maybe I'll just have to read them both 😌
I haven't read that one yet, but it sounds fun! Better be safe and read both. haha.
I loved calven manor soo much the characters just made me want to be with them and the manor reminded be of beasts castle from beauty and the beast. Im picking up from below tomorrow though wish me luck.
Haha i was looking up which DC book I read and really didn’t like. Couldn’t get through. It was Craven Manor, right as you picked it up I found it in my Goodreads. Glad I have plenty to look forward to.
Haha. Don't judge her books based on that one! Her books get better each year. It's really cool to see her grow as an author.
Parasite is a good book ( still reading it) I would say if you liked Jhon carpenters the thing then you would like the book as in my opinion the monsters are similar. Hunted which is my favorite book i love because it reminded me of a Steven king book called the girl who loved Tom Gordon both take place in the forest and are books that seem like they could happen in real life

Idk, I'll re-read Blackwood again and Ashburn after because I feel like I didn't enjoy them like I should've, but yeah, blackwood's character kind of let me down

12. Craven Manor
11. Parasite

7. The Carrow Haunt
6. The Haunting of Blackwood House
