Sophocles allegedly “died of suffocation after reading aloud a lengthy monologue from the end of his play Antigone without pausing to take a breath for commas or punctuation.” Iconic™ behavior. 📖
When you picked up House of Leaves I thought “Yeah, that’s a book that nearly killed me, if a person can die of confusion” Really enjoying the video 😁👍
Juan, I’ve only been watching your videos for a couple weeks but I was an instant fan. Your stuff has been instrumental in my search for under-discussed horror and transgressive fiction. I’ve been watching your older videos first and I’m constantly impressed at your recommendations, depth of knowledge, and how beautifully you express your thoughts. I’m looking forward to the rest of your videos and any future output!
Wow, thank you so much for such a touching comment. I really don’t know what to say! I’m just happy you’ve been finding the videos worthwhile, and that you are getting stuff that interests you out of them. Sincerely, thank you. ❤️
The kitchen tongs got me so much I had to pause the video to chill tf out from laughing ahahahahahhahaha 😭 Another amazing video! they really are one of a kind I'm so happy I found this channel 🙌❤️
I really brought the props and production on this one. 😂 Thank you! I’m so happy to hear you enjoy my videos. Sometimes I feel like I’m just rambling like a lunatic but hearing positive feedback from various people always motivates me to keep going. ❤️
Leonard Lake and Charles Ng (serial killers)were attempting to create their own Butterfly Garden after reading the book. I’d argue they were inspired by the contents.
Awesome video! There’s so much to think about here! I loved how you went from physical books to the actual literature. It made wonder also about literature like crime novels that serial killers have used as instruction manuals. Crime novels are just entertainment but it is scary how other people can interpret them! Amazing video!
Andy Meharg of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland has found arsenic in the green pigment in an early sample of Morris's patterned wallpaper, produced some time between 1864 and 1875. Such pigments were suspected even in the mid-nineteenth century of releasing toxic fumes if they become damp.
@@MegBatsBujos lol you would be surprised how much classic literature I have missed in my lifetime! I tend to like my literature a little more fringy and pulpy (unless it’s Virginia Woolf).
@@PlaguedbyVisions I was surprised at you not having read it not because it can be considered a classic, but because it revolves around text and how it influences and shapes life - that's why I thought you might be interested :) And, as a bonus, it has a great thriller plot and a fantastic mood!
Oh my goodness 😭 thank you so much for such a lovely comment! Funny enough, ContraPoints was one of my biggest inspirations for starting a UA-cam channel, so this means the world to me!!! Thank you thank you I sincerely hope I can keep putting out content that you can enjoy. Much love and warm regards ❤️
Also, not sure if it was just an urban legend... but I see that you mostly just explore literature that could kill from fear or shock, but I seem to recall someone dying from LAUGHTER from reading a book. What a way to go!
This video reminded me of the poisoned books of the Name of the Rose and the mysterious play of The King in Yellow! Books and words that can kill can be an edgy and poor trope, but when done well, it can surprise the reader... And make us wonder if we're damned as well.
The Name of the Rose is a title that’s been mentioned a couple of times in reference to this video, and I feel so ashamed that I still haven’t read it! The King in Yellow, however, is quite right and appropriate! I almost included the Macbeth curse as another possible entry. I agree. Words hold such a powerful spell over us. I do always wonder at the fact that it really just takes the uttering of the wrong set of words to crumble our stability and all of our relationships. Words really can kill!
This is straight up one of the coolest video essays I have every seen on UA-cam. Great work! I hardly EVER comment on videos but I just wanted to tell you how awesome this was. I loved it! I’m subscribed!
Holy shit! What high praise! Seriously! Thank you so much! 😭 I’m just glad you enjoyed the video! This is one of the videos I’m proudest of, so it really means a lot.
A book that proved me that a book can be dangerous was the room by Hubert Selby jr, it had affected me to the point of phisicals illness on multiple occasions throughout the reading at some point I was having a trouble breathing properly at another I felt literally like vomiting and at another I was almost sure that I can smell blood , a very powerful and vivid book.
That’s quite a reaction! I admit the book was quite unsettling to me, but not to that effect. I truly wish a book could have that effect on me, however!
This was such a great video! Really well thought out, well researched, and well said! Usually with videos like this the title is super intriguing but then the video is so bland you don’t even realize it’s over because you zoned out the entire time. I’m so happy to have a video that delivered! Awesome work here!
Wowza, thank you so much! I am unworthy of such high praises-but I’ll take ‘em! I realize now, the thumbnail and title just scream “clickbait.” 😂 Thankfully, I’m much too dimwitted to use such trickery.
That sounds absolutely horrid, but I’m sorry. I laughed. 😂 I honestly can’t imagine being an audiobook voice actor and being assigned to perform Haunted.
@@PlaguedbyVisions Hahahahahaha! I remember I was on my way to the movies, to meet my friends. And I arrived white HAHA and my friends thought I was atacked or something. lol
Such an interesting video! Reminded me of the murders and kidnapping cases that were inspired by The Collector by John Fowels, which is funny to me because of how irritating and annoying the main character is in the book, to the point where victim feels bad for him (if I remember correctly), but I also think the movie influenced cases as well which I have not seen, I still quite enjoyed the book tho d:
I believe you are referring to Robert Berdella, who was as much a narcissistic, pathetic, and monstrous a being as the protagonist of The Collector. I do find the way in which media influenced psychotic minds, although tragic, also endlessly fascinating, and horrifying
@@PlaguedbyVisions yes definitely, anyone that does that kinda stuff has to be all them things, I'm not sure on specifics but I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of cases and stuff linked to the book and film. But I mostly find it puzzling that someone as narcissistic and horrible to do this stuff aligns themself with a character that is portrayed so obviously pathetic, but that probably says allot about these people. If you liked the collector you could maybe consider looking into the Dumb House by John Burnside if you haven't heard of it before. I read it around the same time I read The Collector a few years ago and it gave me the same vibes, although I think I enjoyed Dumb House more :)
RE: the toxicity section - I'm reminded of the part in *SPOILER* The Name of the Rose where the poisoned pages of banned books are the method by which priests are being killed throughout the abbey.
Great vid as per usual, always interesting subject matter you go into and discuss, i dont mind waiting a week or 2 for a new vid if they are up to this quality!
Also, I'd like to recommend 2 video ideas that might be interesting subject matter. First is books that have been banned due to subject matter or something else and the second idea could be books that are supposedly cursed or that have a sort of eerieness about them
Hi, Jake! Thank you for coming back! I always enjoy reading your comments. And thank you for the suggestions! I kind of covered “banned books” briefly in my “The Book I Cannot Read” video but I would definitely be down to make a full video on the subject. “Cursed/evil books” sounds like a fascinating subject but I’ll have to do some research first, as I don’t know of many. Thank you for watching and commenting! Always appreciate it.
“Haunted” is a collection of Chuck’s that I haven’t read (yet). I really enjoyed “Survivor” and “Choke” but didn’t enjoy “Damned” and I really wanted to. ☹️
I have actually never read his most popular novel, Fight Club, along with all the ones you mentioned here, except for Choke, which I really liked. The only other one I’ve read by him is Invisible Monsters, which I really enjoyed as well. I remember the entire “Hell” premise of Damned sounded really intriguing-sad to hear it didn’t live up to expectations for you!
@@PlaguedbyVisions Well, I just finished listening to a reading of “Guts” and I am wondering if there’s something terribly wrong with my mind. I found it very suspenseful; I could feel my heart beating harder and faster, while at the same time, holding my breath. I did not find it frightening, repulsive, nor did I feel like I wanted to faint. I must explain at this point, that I was a trauma ER respiratory therapist for 33 years, and have seen just about every gross and disgusting thing you can imagine. Over the years, I’ve become anesthetized to gore, which could explain why the story didn’t seem over the top to me. Rarely do I have a strong visceral reaction to the written word, but this story did it masterfully. I remember the original news story about 6 year old Abigail Taylor, who met her demise when their pool filter took out most of her intestines. So tragic. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve gotta get back to reading more Chuck. I’m going to do “The Necrophiliac” next.
Glad to hear you enjoyed this recommendation, Sandy! Sincerely. I had a similar reaction to you when I first read this: I thought it was humorous at points, thoroughly gripping and extremely well-written, but not the grossest thing I’ve read by any means. Definitely, I think it’s just a natural reaction following desensitization from graphic fictional violence. I work as a paralegal for criminal defense, and the things I’ve sifted through within discovery and police reports… Fiction pales in comparison. Ah, the Necrophiliac. There’s a title that’s quite similar: Beautifully written, but disturbing beyond belief. I hope you find value in it!
Very nice video. The strength associated with books is quite interesting. I share the same opinion in regards of "books (media) are not to blame for someone's actions", the person must already be inclined (strongly, perhaps) towards such actions. The Bible is truly a strong book! The many possible, and often wrong, interpretations of it can trigger violence and/or self harm on an individual level, or be used to justify atrocities on large groups of people, like on the crusades. That is all covered on your comments, but if I can, I would like to point out yet another aspect of how deadly it can be. Because of the power it holds on people, the Bible was once forbidden to be translated and owning such Bibles could put you in trouble. Jan Hus, William Tyndale and Jacob van Liesveldt were all killed because they translated the Bible, while Thomas Hitton, a catholic priest, was killed because he smuggled two copies of the Bible to Tyndale. I guess we can say that the Bible holds the record for most different ways it can lead to death.
Very intriguing insights, and some history I was not aware of! Surely, the mandated respect for certain texts has also been a death sentence for many people. Yes, as far as fanaticism and weaponization, religious texts are in a league of their own.
omg. these props?! let's talk about them!!! *I don't wanna spam so I'll put my comments here HAHAHA* Wow, now I want a documentary about Dr. Kedzie!!! If I were Palahniuk, not sure I would be proud keeping count... I mean, kinda cause I guess my work had an impact. OMG! The way you related literature to fake news is so genius!
Gio, I’m always looking forward to your comments on my videos now lol. Feel free to spam at your leisure. I brought the budget. I brought the production. Dr. Kedzie sounds like a real a**hole if you ask me. I almost died laughing when I read he just randomly sent libraries books full of arsenic for literally no reason. What a legend. I think Palahniuk is exactly the kind of person who would thrive from bragging about such things. Like I said, I would do the same if it meant elevating my mystique as a writer. Thank you so much for watching, as always! Your compliments always make my day. 🤙🏽

@@PlaguedbyVisions I'm a slow reader. Usually I finish a novel in a little over 1 month (2 weeks for very good reads), but I'm cautious in expectations.
I would imagine there may have been a similar cultural effect somewhere along history, although I’m not sure how many young couples would actually have been exposed to Shakespeare’s plays back in Elizabethan times (certainly not in written form). I think maybe theater had a very different cultural resonance than novels did (novels just became this “empathic phenomenon” which is why I think its readers were much more passionate about the subject matter, as opposed to Elizabethan theater which was perceived as much more “base” entertainment).

Thank you!!! Hope you enjoy the rest of it!
House of Leaves could kill you from the whiplash of trying to read some of its pages.
Chloë...I’m with you there.
At high school, during a falling-out, an ex-friend of mine smacked me around the head with a chunky hardback bible. I'm still annoyed. True story.

Yes, those two clowns and Berdella were inspired by it. I also forgot to mention Jeffrey Dahmer and his fixation with William Peter Blatty’s Legion.
@@PlaguedbyVisions I forgot about Legion!
