i also didnt think about plant horror as like a genre...... i should def look into that ! i do rly like how those evil roots/horror story/anthologies look, with the black covers and then a highlight colour..... 🧡
i've been attracted to creepy plant stories since i was tiny, so glad to learn there are a lot of them out there ~ i haven't seen any others in the series, will keep an eye out 👁
I have the same feeling about Daphne du Maurier! I've only ever read Rebecca and while I have her other books, I only feel lik I can always read her some other time. I always see her books whenever I browse used bookstores so there's that element of reliability as well
yeah i feel like publishers jsut went wild for her at some point in the last decade or so, unless i was just blind to her bookshelf presence when i was a kid...
I felt this way about the Box Man! I tried for such a long time to find it in stores in the US, but found it in the first store I walked into in Amsterdam🇳🇱!
it's a good feeling, right?? is that the one by Kobo Abe? i guess for some of these older classics they got published in English in either Europe or America decades ago and haven't been revisited since, so the only way to get your hands on them is by A) paying your inheritance to internationally import someone's family heirlooms off ebay or B) travelling across the Atlantic Ocean...
@@apocalypsereading7117 yup Kobo Abe. I didn’t like it as much as Woman in the Dunes, but I also think I just need to reread. I feel I normally let books find me, rather than I find them. If they want me to read them, they’ll seek me out hahaha
I love these kind of finds in libraries. And I love a great library!
the Vancouver central library is one of the best i've ever been in, just my favourite place to be probably 📚
I discovered your channel through this video. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍
thanks - hope you like it here 🌻

@@apocalypsereading7117 I think publishers are still kinda crazy with her in recent years 🤣
I love a serendipitous book find!

Gotta love a library.

i have had my heart beat a bit faster on coming upon some books at booksales that have been like seeing an unexpected loved one in a crowd.
yes, that's the proper way to describe it, absolutely. i think i need you to script some of my rambley videos =)
nice video
thank you!
