“Her hair was cut into a bob” I’ve been laughing about this for a solid minute 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cute profile picture 😍😊
Also I teach high school English & mostly teach horror lit & film. Yesterday I accidentally said “hor-ROR” while teaching 👻
"Heated up like a hot pocket" LMAOOO
I think Last House on Needless Street would qualify as Neuro divergent.
Honestly, I would almost rather just listen to you describe books than to read them.
Same 😂
Michael McDowell also wrote the screenplay for Beetlejuice 👻
Because of you Jordaline, my horror books now need their own shelf hahaha ❤
Echo is a slow burn but has amazing payoff. It is definitely a possession story and once the threads come together, it's absolutely wonderful
camp damn-ass-kiss sends me every time
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You MUST do ASMR, you’d be so good at it!!
For the neurodivergent prompt I have Andi C. Buchanan's Sanctuary. It's not horror but seems to have cozy spooky vibes, and is about a queer neurodivergent disabled found family, who lives in a haunted house with all their ghost friends.
that sounds so good. tnx for the rec
You describing Now You're One Of Us had me in TEARS!! Oh Frank.....poor Frank
Clive Barker is the GOAT!! In the Hills, the Cities literally lives in my head forever now. I've never had a story stick in my brain like that one!
Dude that was my favorite of the first three volumes as well! Beat out Pig Blood Blues, which was also truly Wild
I finished Tender is the Flesh yesterday and you are absolutely correct about the ending.
The way you described how you felt at the end of Tender is the Flesh is spot on, I still have not gotten it out of my head and its been like months lol and yes Mary literally finished it 2 minutes before watching this. Absolutely loved that book!
When you started describing Off Season by Jack K. And you said Hot Pocket I started laughing uncontrollably. 😂 you're always so funny. I love it. You make uncomfortable book descriptions lighter with hilarity.
Agreed! 😂 I'm always cackling at her descriptions
There’s a horror anthology by neurodiverse authors about their experiences: Rewired, edited by A.R. Ward. Haven’t read it yet, but sounds good.
I'm glad I found your page. I love everything thing about it. I love how I can get good book reccomendations. ❤
Randy!! I’m screaming. My grandma already knows, don’t worry
'bianca torre is afraid of everything' by justine pucella winans fits the neurodivergent and nonbinary categories. it's more of a mystery-thriller but it scared me + made me laugh.
I love the smell of books too!!!
For the queer and ND prompt you can read The Many Half Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester. The MC is Austistic and Nonbinary. I loved it. Also 16 souls has a queer, disabled MC. They’re both YA thriller/mystery
And fall has begun ☺️ rip Randy lmao
I read Echo and absolutely adored it. I’ve never been more afraid of a mountain. This is one that stuck with me and still gives me shivers even though I read it last year. Highly recommend!!
Just jumping in to recommend I'm Thinking of Ending Things on audiobook. There's one part that is massively elevated by being audio. It blew me away.
The fact that you mentioned Exquisite Corpse as horrifically soul crushing when that was my choice for "books that you're afraid to read" for the SSBR got me double fucked up 💀💅🏻
It's fine... youll be fine... 😭🥺
I love your summary of Now You're One of Us!! Cracked up with the "Frank" and close-up. I read that book a few years ago and I still think about it, that ending was absolutely bonkers. Also 😂 Tender is the Flesh ending reaction my gosh, my heart stopped!
LGBTQ2+ and neurodivergent Canadian (I believe still currently resides in Toronto) author David Demchuck (“Bone Mother” 2017 and “Red X” 2021 - are both fantastic works, both satisfying the cannibal and M4M romance literary criteria you’re seeking.
Also, the late Timothy Findley is (a fellow LGBTQ2+ Canadian author, criminally underrated, and in many ways perhaps ahead of his time) is Demchuck’s stylistic, more refined (in my estimation, at least), and certainly more prodigious superior whose oeuvre primarily comprised works mainly in the historical fiction genre - subsequently pioneered the literary sub genre of “Northern Gothic” horror. Of note are “Headhunters” (themes around mental health and cannibalism) (1994) and “The Butterfly Plague” posthumously published in 2006 (the latter includes a homosexual, hemophiliac film director; his pregnant sister, newly returned from a mysterious sojourn in Nazi Germany; and a transvestite bastard whose search for his unknown mother culminates in her death..)
I love the spine on the spine of Goddess of Filth.
I read the books of blood when I was 15. A few of the stories were a bit over my head at the time, but I loved them. I now own signed first editions with the wrap-around art covers. That is what I would save in a fire.
Her hair was cut into a Bob 😂😂 you are honestly hilarious
As an autistic person, I love the prompt you created and (a) don’t mind that your recs were mostly “neurodivergent-coded” and that you were setting a convo and challenge in the bookish community and (b) mentioned mental illness within the same prompt. I consider anxiety, depression, etc as under the neurodivergent umbrella because we all work towards awareness, acceptance, resources and fight to make people understand the social model of disability. Having a neurodivergent brain and not having a comorbidity of mental illness is extremely rare and that’s not an insult to anyone, it’s a comment on society. Anyways, full support here!! I’m going to read the indie “Brutal Hearts” by Cassie Daley (2022)
I am here for the book descriptions, I don't even read horror 😂
Yesss! The Amulet is a total bloodbath!! Love it! 🩸❤️
Your makeup is fucking amazing! You look absolutely gorgeous.
Your fur baby just wanted to be involved in making the video too!😂❤
Holly, a recurring King character who is on the spectrum.
For the nerodiverse prompt I would suggest both of Andrew Joseph Whites books "The Spirit Bares its Teeth" and "Hell Followed with Us" they have good ASD rep and it is own voices
I read Echo this year; and I freaking loved it! But this Tiffany really likes character driven stories!
Mary is being delivered today 😂 all because of you
The description of Exquisite Corpose was so accurate
Bahahaha thank you. Sometimes the pain is so east to articulate 🥺
You popped up on my stream as a recommendation and watched this video. Awesome video, reviews, and humor. Totally subscribed.
You are the reason I just fleeeew through Mary. Oh. My. Gawddddddd. I was laughing, screaming, on the edge of my seat. ❤️❤️❤️
To Be Devoured by Sara Tantlinger is PHENOMENAL, and covers neurodivergent main character and LGBTQ+. It covers a 3rd category as well, but that would spoil the book-- if you have ND and LGBTQ+ books and nothing else, you can pick it up 👀
I'm Thinking of Ending Things is one of my favs of all time
I love when your videos come up be cause you make me laugh all the time. The way you discribe books, love it. I hope your doing better, I miss you. 😊💜
That Randy story hit close to home! My stepdad's name was Randy and he passed away this June 8 days before my birthday and fathers day. Its all good though but I sure do miss him. Watching you though makes my day better.
Years ago I watched a video of yours where you recommended The Good House & I read it and it became my FAVORITE book of all time and Tananarive Due became my fave author of all time, so I need to read every book you recommended🤞🏽
I have Tomie by Junji Ito, Skin Thief by Suzan Palumbo, & What Stalks Among Us by Sarah Hollowell on my TBR!
The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White is great for the neurodivergent prompt!
I feel like ChatGPT should talk to me in exactly this manner. ❤
ChatGPT suddenly starts calling everyone Tiffany.
The worm and his king hailey piper is about a trans character who also may be neurodivergent. The Devil of Nanking by Mo Hayder may also be a neurodivergent character. The broken girls Simone St. James is about trauma done to woman but may have on neurodivergent character. Lastly the Nesting C.J. Cooke the main female character may be neurodivergent. Liked every one of them. I also just finished Swan Song which is an excellent book but like white authors in the early 80s there is some problematic moments. The character Sister may be neurodivergent. Either way all good books! Hope this helps.
You quite literally make my days, Jordaline 😆❤
I absolutely love your whole vibe! You are awesome! Thank you for your badass recommendation
Awesome suggestions. I got some more spooky scary stuff this year pushing the boundaries!! Guaranteed I'll have the lights on!!😂
Don't know if it's considered horror but it's definitely creeeeepy and has a neurodivergent character: The Collector by John Fowles
Needed this video today!
Thank you for the recs! 🖤
most accurate description of exquisite corpse i have ever heard. 5 stars
Such a top quality video. Excellent recommendations and also entertaining. Also recommendations are so genuine and unique, and great critique. Recommendations you can trust.
I love your synopsis's!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a fun vlog, You really are such a good reviewer of these books! Thanks!
Thank you for introducing me to Michal McDowell. I am always looking to celebrate the art of those who were lost to the AIDS epidemic 🥺💕
Dnf good Indians and heart of chainsaw 😢
Yessssss I've needed more horror recs 🥰
another jordaline slay for tha WINNNN
Looking stunning as ever babe!!🖤🖤 love being in the horror season even tho it’s year around for us!!
Your videos are awesome! You have a fun personality!🎉❤
damn killing the girl you like every night is another level of crush
Something potent's emitting off our souls.
Is that the glowing on our home the Earth?
the ring of breaths; balloons that we’ve let go,
the blue emissions astronauts observe.
It did so when in picnics went our time,
the ones Monet adored enough to paint.
It did so when Egyptians kholed their eyes,
and will tomorrow when we yawn and wake.
That human glow shall not become eclipsed;
our separate subtle hues now shy to buzz
because a job will want your soul to dim.
Thy heart, remembering what shining was.
Like those that took to arms against tyrants,
our souls still buzz. We can be just like them.
Molly Southbourne sounds EXACTLY like Junji Ito’s Tomie 🧐
Neurodivergent: The Last House on Needless Street and The boy on the Bridge
Thank you 👍🏽👍🏽
Hell Followed with Us by Andrew Joseph White for the neurodivergent & LGBTQIA+ prompts!
Who Haunts You by Mark Wheaton is a new release YA horror that I just heard about with an Autistic main character
was waiting for this! also have been soo terrified of Mary bc of the bathroom scenes & shit so i was gonna read it for the books i'm actually scared of prompt lol and for neurodivergent i'll probably read The Spirit Bares Its Teeth! the rest are up in the air hah
Well…time to dig out the Ouija board…my grandmas are all dead.
I seriously need to read Hex this year
8:39 you are so good at animating when you talk it makes you so engaging and fun to watch because of it. You should be so much more popular. I know you will be. Not that it matters but you know. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Camp Slaughter and The Watchers are both free on kindle unlimited. Also Pumpkin Season is 0.99.
I'm pretty sure I've heard a lot of times that the MC on My Heart is a Chainsaw is neurodivergent.
Also in Witch: This Book Will Kill You (reccomend the narration made by The NoSleep Podcast), I feel has characters that can be considered ND but I'm not completely sure.
For Cannibal or LGBT totally would recommend Benny Rose. The Cannibal King by Hailey Pipper. Really exited for this years SSB ❤
“I’m thinking of ending things” was such a horrible and confusing show but I’m willing to give the book a shot bc of the title alone
not me watching this at 1am the night before 😅
Love ur videos❤❤❤
I love this video.
The Spirit Bares Its Teeth is a new release with an autistic main character !!
neurodivergent prompt suggestion: hell followed with us - it's apocalyptic young adult horror, and it's super gross. JFKSFJKBSJF also fits the lgbtq+ rep bc mc is trans and there's an achillean romance! the love interest has autism.
also i recommend maeve fly for autumnal vibes!! it's set in halloween
A really good LGPT book is Hell followed with us by Andrew Joseph White
Idk if we recommend comics but there is def Neurodivergent in Locke and Key. Rufus, Mrs. Whedon’s son.
@JordalineReads ...but what happens when Molly Southbourne "surfs the crimson tide"?? 🤓
Subbing your giving the gworls the energy have an amazing day hun
My grandma is dead but I told her anyway. 😅
shit, not Randy! I really need to read now you're one of us. Thanks for reminding me. Queen of teeth was a wild ride. Hope you get to that one!
Grandma is too busy rolling around in the ground with Graham, soz! Jordaline, you are a spooky horror queen and I also really struggled with finding a neurodivergent MC in a horror book but I have narrowed it down to Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant for myself (one of the two MCs is an autistic lesbian), and I'm also planning on reading Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White which has its gay trans teen protagonist fall for an autistic boy who leads a badass group of queer kids through the apocalypse.
I’ve just started Good Bad Girl and it seems to have OCD rep in it. Could someone confirm?
I might wait until the readathon if so
5:22 😂
I can’t with you 😄
I'm using To Be Devoured as my neurodivergent MC prompt bc idk what's going on with baby girl but it seems like she cookin something in that noggin 🤷♀️
Yeah I wasn't a fan of the resurrectionist. It was pretty obvious the dad angle
10:00 🫦🔊
Doesn't say explicitly but definitely gives neurodivergebt vibes from 2 main characters and the wit in it was *chefs kiss* is Botanical Daughter by Noah Medlock 👌🏻 also queer representation with the characters so ticks 2 promots
I'm late to this party. Oops. But a few thoughts:
1. I didn't like The Good House because why was everybody so horny while awful stuff happened. Like if I ever witness [that spoke free thing with the boat], I'm becoming bone dry for life 😂
2. Definitely agree about We Have Always Lived In The Castle - one of my faves
3. I added like 12 books to my TBR. That bitch is never hitting 0
4. I'd like to add these recs for other late comers:
"Out There Screaming" edited by Jordan Peele and many other BIPOC authors
"Five Midnights" by Ana Davila Cardinal, a latinx author
"What Moves the Dead" by T Kingfisher features a NB protag
H@ve you seen Possibly in Michigan on UA-cam? I think you’d like it.
