Rest Stop sounds so great. I'm also really looking forward to She's Always Hungry! The UK cover features photography by one of my favorite contemporary artists, Juno Calypso. Check out her work to see more photos from the vintage tub series titled The Honeymoon. One book I'm really looking forward to, which is not mentioned in the video, is American Rapture by C. J. Leede. I loved Maeve Fly and the cover art looks equally awesome.
I am very intrigued with She Is Always Hungry and I love the UK cover! There were some other books I plan to check out as well. Thank you for sharing these with us!
King Lear is by Shakespeare, but you don't need to know anything about it to read Private Rites, which was excellent. I order a lot of books from Blackwells online, especially when I prefer the UK cover. Shipping is free and it's often cheaper than US sites and stores.
Self made monster absolutely sold me when you said “body parts that won’t stay attached” 😂 Also, I don’t think I have read any medical horror and now I’m very intrigued in this sub genre! Will be on a look out Whoever made the cover for Sugar needs a raise 😍 Curious on She’s always Hungry by Eliza Clark. I loved boy parts but wasn’t a fan of Penance 😬
That's the line that sealed the deal for me too 😂😂 And right!? Literally the most perfect cover ever. I haven't gotten to penance yet. I'm curious if I'll have the same feeling since I really enjoyed boy parts too.
I had no idea Nick Cutter was coming out with something new! So thank you for this!! Also I just read a Richard Chizmar and I was so impressed by the concept so I might have to check out memorials. 🍓🍓🍓💕
I might need to add Coup de Grace to my list. I haven't heard of this book before but am intrigued now 👀 Okay but Self-Made Monsters sounded like was made for you! ♥ I don't pick up short stories but even that book description is drawing me in! Added The Demon to my list pronto! My ears perked as soon as I heard Filipino 🍓🍓🍓
It's sounds so bananas. I hope it's not too wild and loses me 😂 And right!? Self made sounds so up my alley lol Ooo yes if you read the demon I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
@@WickedScorpio hopefully not! it's so disappointing when that happens. I experienced this recently with a highly anticipated book I picked up for a buddy read. It really does! Now I can't wait for you to read it and to hear your thoughts. I'll definitely let you know. The weird thing was that I couldn't find the book when I tried doing a search....but I was also multitasking while at work so it was probably a me error 🤣
Oooo what book was that 👀 And self made monsters is indie published so you have to be very specific in searching it since it only shows on like one website lol
@@WickedScorpio Long Live Evil... I was so excited to read this book, but it wasn't what I expected at all. Still so upset about it lol thank you for the tip! I was like why can't I find it!
I second the Lakewood by Megan Giddings recommendation and theres also Comemadre by Roque Larraquy (at least the first section) for the medical horror. On my own tbr I have Honeycomb by S.B. Caves which is a medical experiment reality tv show? I have Violent Faculties by Charlene Elsby as well but it sounds more like philosophy experiments so not too sure about that one. I hadn't heard of And He Shall Appear but it sounds so good to me definitely adding it to my tbr.
I just read a witchy book set in Appalachia .. generations of a family in a small town.. magic and drama and secrets.. it's called Strange Folk by Alli Dyer. I love the cover.. I wish it had more atmosphere but if you like character-driven stories, this is definitely that. Some dark things are happening.. the synopsis does not really get into all that so there is definitely more going on than I expected. Maybe check it out from your library like I did. 😊 I'm obsessed/fascinated by anything Appalachia. I even watched a bunch of videos.. I need to read more books with that setting. I have The Bog Wife on my Library TBR.. they bought it because of my purchase request 😄
Thank you for the rec! It sounds super interesting. I feel like there's been a wave of curiosity surrounding Appalachian life, so I have a feeling there will be a lot more books coming out in the near future with that setting. Yay for libraries 🙌🏻🖤
I've heard of Coup de Grace before. It's such a cool idea. I want to get my hands on that when I can. Self-Made Monsters and The Fatal Mind also sound great. I like medical horror too.
If you haven’t read Revelatory by Daryl Gregory, maybe that’s an Appalachian folk horror you could give a chance. It mixes quite a bit of real Smoky Mountains history with spookiness.
My copies of The Bog Wife and Coup de Grace turned up early the other week, so I have already read the latter, and I loved it! I read Private Rites and liked it but didn't love it, despite being a fan of all of JA's other work. But I seem to have a minority opinion on that one, so fingers crossed you love it as much as you're hoping. I'm really looking forward to getting to The Bog Wife, then Model Home and Self-Made Monsters, and I hope She's Always Hungry is as good as its cover and synopsis suggests! I've also added a few others from here onto my list... so, thank you!
Yay! So happy to hear coup de grace was good! I can't wait for it. Hopefully private rites still works for me 🤞🏻 You have some great ones you're looking forward to 🖤
It comes out October 15, but I think you would like “The Specimen” by Jaima Fixsen. I’m looking forward to reading it! It may fall under your liking for “medical” that you mentioned 🍓
Have you read The Island of Dr. Moreau ? For a medical experiment book .. I haven't read it yet but it is on my Master TBR.. not sure about The Daughter of Dr Moreau but that might be an interesting spin-off.. don't really remember the synopsis lol
If your looking for medical horror I really liked Lakewood by Megan Giddings its a literary horror about medical trials and has some great commentary about racism and generational trauma. I'm really intrigued by Coup de grace, it sounds so good.
Thanks for another great video! I think self-made monsters wins best cover of this video 🍓🖤🍓 (Thanks again for stating an emoji to put - helps my anxious brain post a comment 💝)
Oooh!!! I'm so excited for Model Home!! I actually think you'd love Sorrow land by Rivers Solomon! It's mushroom body horror/ cult story! Private Rites has me so intrigued! King Lear is a play by Shakespeare 🤗 Awesome list!!! Thanks for putting these on my radar 👀🍓🍓🍓
I'm just going to drop a knowledge bomb on you and say that if you have the premium subscription for Spotify you can get a bunch of horror novels and short story collections on Spotify Because audio is the way to go for short story collections
I can introduce you to a medical thriller and its author it's called coma by Dr Robin Cook Robin Cook has done many medical thrillers but I don't know if that's where you want to go with the medical genre there may be some medical horror in Grady hendrix's book paperbacks from hell so if you want to check that out jump Right in
Speaking as a former theater kid King Lear is one of the prominent works of William Shakespeare about a king and his children I weep for your generation My Sweet Summer child Didn't they teach you any Shakespeare in your English language arts class?
Not that one. And I'm not interested in seeking out those works at this time in my life. & it has nothing to do with generations but rather the inconsistency and inequality of the educational system in the US. Not every school/educator can or wants to teach every William Shakespeare work to exist.
Fair enough Educational system here in the US is willfully inadequate even when I was in school I had to seek out books that I liked that were classics and also Shakespeare is one of his tragedies, and I prefer his romcom much more

Im very excited for coup de grace! I’m getting in my Nightworms package so I’m going to try and read it soon!🍓
That's how I'll be getting it too!
What à time to be alive! I am looking most forward to Coup de Grace, the Bog Wife, Memorials and Private Rites
Great picks 🙌🏻
added Self Made Monsters to my Master TBR!
Good titles 🎉
I just started The Black Hunger and I’m liking the vibes so far. I’m only like 30 pages in, so it’s too soon to say much more. 🍓
I hope you continue to enjoy it! 🖤
🍓 some fun ones to add to my tbr!

We Are the Beasts sounds intersting 🍓
hmmm bummer that Barrowbeck is UK release. Can't find anything about US release date :(
If you order through websites like Blackwells you can still get UK releases :) it's free shipping too.
@@WickedScorpio I was thinking about it!! But I'm an e-reader.
@unhingedwoman ah gotcha! I wonder if you had a VPN and could buy it off amazon uk 🤔
It comes out October 15, but I think you would like “The Specimen” by Jaima Fixsen. I’m looking forward to reading it! It may fall under your liking for “medical” that you mentioned 🍓
That looks so good!! Tysm for putting it on my radar. Sounds like the perfect cozy fall read too

Yesss tysm 🫶🏻 that sounds amazing.
💚🖤🍓 Ok so not much if a horror reader but....the demon sounds good
If you read it, i need to know your thoughts!!
Have you read Black Phone by Joe Hill?! It’s amazing! I wish it was more than 30 pages lol
I have not read it but I actually saw the movie and really enjoyed that! I'll have to try to get to the book at some point
Idk, if it was Goodreads that forgot to edit or Angela Sylvaine herself. But, wonton is a dumpling, I believe she meant wanton. 😁
Hahahah yeah, I thought so too, but it's on the authors website and goodreads like that, so I must quote it as it is
Have you read The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley? As always, thanks for the list. A lot will be going on my Tbr.
I haven't, but I will definitely look into it now! Thank you
Intercepts by TJ Payne is a good one experiments
I read that and really enjoyed it!
Have you read The surgeon by Tess Gerritsen ? Lots of medical horror
I have not, but adding it to my list now. Thank you!
Thanks for another great video! I think self-made monsters wins best cover of this video

@@WickedScorpio yeah the 15-hour limit on audio books that Spotify does is totally stupid, especially if you want to binge your audiobooks
