A Stephen King tier tanking would be fun. I enjoyed this video too. It was fun seeing your views of these books.
Ooh maybe you can do a tier ranking for Old School April next year.
I'm sure I'll do a King ranking one day!!
My keyboard is broke after I spilled water on it, hahaha, so no long comment, but this kicked butt!
I KNEW you didn't like Nightwing! Hahaha!
Hahaha you can give me grief because #justicefornightwingandGILA
hahaha I DID LIKE IT! 😂 3.5 doesn't mean I hated it hahaha
Can’t wait for this video! Add it to my watch later when I’m getting cozy with some tea 🥰
❤❤❤
Really enjoyed this video! So glad to see Richard Laymon getting some love…for once haha
Haha I really enjoy Laymon so always trying to give him some love 🤣🙌
Great video!! I love tier rankings and I hope you do more in the future!
I can't wait to do more rankings!
This was a great video and now my tbr is just stuffed with vintage horror lol. Would love to see you do this but for King novels like you suggested that would be super fun.
I'll do it for King's books one day! Thanks for checking out my video! :)
Great vid - you might enjoy Wulf by Steve Harris (it was a random coming of age type read and I really enjoyed it), also Blood Games by Richard Laymon is never really mentioned on booktube but thought it was great. Love the tier ranking, lot's of great rec's, thanks!
I think I own that Steve Harris book! I'll put it on my potential TBR!!! Oh! And I will have to check out Blood Games! Thank you so much for the recs and for watching!
Of course Gnelfs is top tier for you 😂 I haven’t read any of these except the exorcist, the pack, jaws, and the amulet. This video was epic! As I was watching, I had an idea for a future video concept if it interests you - “paperbacks from hell book recommendations for beginners” because I notice you having to give a lot of warnings or caveats about the subject matter for many of these. Could be nice to have a video for vintage horror newbies to find their footing!
couldn't not put Gnelfs in my top tier 😂
Got my pencil and bujo and ready to make a list, lets go!!! 😂
😂❤✏️
Was surprised you were so hard on Funland and Body Rides. Neither are among my favourite Laymon's, but I found both to be highly enjoyable.
I just found Body Rides kind of boring and tedious. Funland was definitely better but still just not the level of enjoyment of other Laymon books I've loved. Too many characters I didn't care about in Funland. It's totally cool if you love them; they just weren't my personal faves. Overall, though, I usually have fun with most Laymon reads! :)
This really makes me want to read more vintage horror! I added more Richard Laymon to my TBR after reading The Woods Are Dark haha. I need more rumps and nipples in my life apparently 🤷
hahaha we all need more nips and rumps 😂❤ jk hahahaha
This was awesome!! I just love tier ranking videos. They’ve quickly become my favorite to watch here on the tube.
I can't wait to try and do more tier rankings!
I’m going to read more animal attack books. They seem fun. I’m enjoying the vid! 👍🏻📚📚📚📚
Animal attack books are definitely fun!!!
You do such great videos
eeeee
Flowers in the Attic and would definitely be top tear for me, too.
I actually like Rosemary's Baby better than The Exorcist (though for the film adaptations, it's the reverse).
Excellent ranking! I really need to read more vintage horror.
I wish I had liked Rosemary's Baby more! Thank you for watching! Flowers in the Attic for life!
This was great!!
thanks!!!!
“Whatevs! I’m so effed up!” 😂 Same! This was a fun video! I’m so behind on Paperbacks from Hell. I read them as I find them at thrift stores. It’s gonna take me a hot minute since I struggle with reading on screens.
I like reading them physically but I also get scared about messing them up more 😂
Fun video Kelsi 📚🔥
Thanks Melissa! ❤❤❤
I think Ghost Story by Peter Straub should be in the top tier. I'm currently reading The Light At The End by John Skipp and Craig Spector. I'm loving it so far.
Ghost Story was great. And I'm so happy to hear you're loving The Light at the End!!!
This was so great!! Book of the Damned 4 Life! 😂😂😂
yaaaaas hahah I love that book
Flowers in the Attic defintley belongs in the top :) good move.
Flowers in the Attic rules!!!
Did I hear correctly that you loved a ghost story?! The book really scared me but the movie terrified me 😂
This is so epic! I loved it! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I did love Ghost Story! It was so atmospheric!
Girl I messaged that guy about a book I read and crickets. It’ll probably be a splatterpunk/possession small town horror. It’s driving me nuts. I thought I it was ghouls by Edward Lee but 😑😑😑
Dang you’ve read a ton of Paperbacks from Hell! 😳🙌👏
I know! I'm surprised I've read as many as I have!
❤
❤
4th circle of hell - whatevs 😂
hahah just the whatevs tier hahah
I'm surprised that Let's Go Play... , which in another video you rated as the #1 most disturbing book you had read thus far, that in this video it get's placed in the next to lowest category. I think LGPatA is a underrated and misunderstood book. I tried to add an update on Wikipedia's article on the Sylvia Likens true crime case in the section of fiction based on the case and in a couple days the update was removed. I was told that there is no solid evidence that Mendal Johnson was inspired by the true crime case when writing LGPatA. So I wish that reviewers would stop repeating the apparent false claim that it was. (Illusory truth effect?)
I think it's more likely that LGPatA was inspired by the following:
1971 Stanford Univ. Psych dept Prison Experiment which had to be cancelled early because it went off the rails, sort like the situation in the LGPatA novel.
1961 Yale Univ. Psych Dept Milgram Experiment where some test subjects needed therapy after the experiment.
And various WWII women prisoner narratives.
Leading to how otherwise good kids can, in isolation, commit adult evils. Much like the 1954 novel Lord of the Flies.
"Whose laughing now? Not William W. Johnstone. He dead."
hahahaha "he dead" - I'm so mean 😂
I loved, loved, loved When Darkness Loves Us!
You’ve read so many! I’ve added Toy Cemetery to my Garbaugust list 👀 THE SHED SCENE. I loved this! I’ll be referring back to this list for recs 🍁 🔥 🍆 🪠
Poppin balls 🤣
Honestly Toy Cemetery would be the perfect GarbAugust read! SHED SCENE FOR LIFEEEE
😂
