This is a very small horror book haul featuring the Boris Karloff Horror Anthology, Dead and Buried by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Fountain Society by Wes Craven, and The Worm and his Kings by Hailey Piper… with a special unboxing of D.L. Tillery's new poetry collection Thorns of My Heart. I'll talk a little bit about what I'm reading right now, what I just read, and about some reviews forthcoming. The Haunting of Velkwood by Gwendoline Krist may just be my favourite book of the year so far and we'll just wait and see to see if it becomes the favourite book of 2024. Well, I don't have a whole bunch of photos from my little tiny vacation I do have one Sunset photo included in this video which may be of interest because it is for seconds of pure relaxation. heading out to the library book sale this weekend so there may be some more Acquisitions to come but in the meantime here is some contact information for DL Tillery ~ thank you so much for watching have a new key spooky day!

What is my style of booktube? A booktube identity, as it were. A really good question to which I ask: is horror a style? I mean, on the surface level you could say there is a horror aesthetic that many fans embrace, and skulls often find their place in our decor. Horror novels and being a horror reader may not, however, be as obvious - especially when our bookshelves when only containing books look a lot like any other genre fan. So, for a little fun thinkpiece, we delve into six questions about what sort of booktube channel we have here. Questions discussed here are:: 1. What do you want your channel to be known for? 2. What content will people find on your channel? 3. What is the most represented genre of books? 4. What book are you known for championing? 5. What author is regularly featured on your channel? 6. What can people expect in the future? (reveal some exciting plans) 7. Tag people and state 'what you know them for?'. (wherein I just leave this an open tag) I watched this over at Reading This Life - Revealing My BookTube Identity: What I'm Known For #tag #booktube Revealing My BookTube Identity ✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ Bookworm decor is here! https://shop.typicalbooks.com/ ▹ All socials, the shop and news: https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever ▹ Read books I wrote: https://amzn.to/3k20OY6 ▹ A list of horror books out each month: https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror ▹ Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/typicalbooks to shop local! ▹ Music by ænorex: https://aenorex.com As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases when you use Amazon links here.

Twenty-seven books are coming out or are out already!

Like a dark and twisted Anne of Green Gables, this book was a welcome addition for me; and very well written for a debut novel. I was happily surprised at how much I related to the very odd and “unlikable” main character Ada Byrd. There was a great balance of late-Victorian references and modern sensibility, as well as a cozy atmosphere created by the diary style of the book. The ideas of intimate desire, reckless abuse and longing for friendship were so blurred at times, that there was a lovely sort of delirium created for the reader which mirrored the iceberg tip of the madness forming in Ada. Absolutely beautiful reading in Grey Dog, by Elliott Gish. I'd wanted to read this and was so pleased when ECW reached out with a review copy ~ thank you, Claire! While perusing catalogs of new books coming out Grey Dog caught my eye because of the contradictory nature of its cover. I was hoping that it would have something to do with sort of a body horror or some animalistic nature transformation and I wasn't exactly right although there is some sort of body horror... if you count the use of dead animals and a little skull within the story. The stark nature of what almost looks like a woodcut lent itself to the description of this book taking place in the 1900s so I caught a “botanical dark academia” flavour just from the illustration on the front. Much to my delight the author is from the East Coast and did find inspiration in Lucy Maud Montgomery and the Anne of Green Gables, so if you ever wanted that in horror form, this is one for you! This is the debut novel by Elliott Gish and I am looking forward to more. Pick up Grey Dog here https://amzn.to/3UgdlXe From the back cover copy: “The year is 1901, and Ada Byrd ― spinster, schoolmarm, amateur naturalist ― accepts a teaching post in isolated Lowry Bridge, grateful for the chance to re-establish herself where no one knows her secrets. She develops friendships with her neighbours, explores the woods with her students, and begins to see a future in this tiny farming community. Her past ― riddled with grief and shame ― has never seemed so far away...” ✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ Bookworm decor is here! https://shop.typicalbooks.com/▹ All socials, the shop and news: https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever▹ Read books I wrote: https://amzn.to/3k20OY6▹ A list of horror books out each month: https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror▹ Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/typicalbooks to shop local!▹ Music by ænorex: https://aenorex.com As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases when you use Amazon links here.

While I am not in the habit of posting poor reviews, I wanted to talk about these three books - even if I didn't like them much. I've rarely posted reviews of books that were not for me mostly because I chose narrowly from a narrow genre: horror. It is not to say they were poorly written at all, they are all good. I had waited for Waif and am so happy to own a copy; Nineteen Little Stab Wounds was a delightful find; My Throat an Open Grave is just a wonderfully complete package from pillar to post and beautifully written. They are all dark, twisty, horrific or weird. But... They were just not for me at all. Before I get too deep into that: here is the link to the radio drama version of Sticks by Karl Edward Wagner https://www.zbs.org/audio/Sticks.mp3 Now, be it the recency, or the fact that I wanted to like these books so much - I also still want to share them because I know they do and will have fans! Especially My Throat and Open Grave. Biblical connotations of the title aside, it was a Puritan nightmare! It's a really beautifully written book and beautifully bound. The one review I did edit heavily was for My Throat an Open Grave where I felt I was reading a subtweet for a hundred pages or heavily disguised Christian propaganda. It was a strange feeling because they have teen troubles that are not resolved in a wholesome way, the outcome is the opposite of an after-school special, and the whole problem started because of a cult-like Christian town. I am still not sure why I felt I was being sold snake oil throughout. On the other side of that, I felt the pandering to angsty teens was a little over the top and something I thought we had left behind over a decade ago. I will say the twist was unique and I loved how revenge played a big part in the first big resolution here, but I still felt at odds with the central theme as I came away with ‘women are bad and you should feel bad' when I am sure the opposite was intended. Anyhow! I'll be reading a few great books to come, and The Haunting of Velkwood!

My preorder, book of the month, and review copy horror novel stash had built up to eight books since November. So, here we are at the end of the month with a little unboxing. This also marks the end of my read-what-you-own challenge. I'll be updating that more deeply in another video as I did learn a lot over the last few months. I hope to incorporate more reading from my shelves and less book buying going forward, for sure, but in a subtle way. Here we have some excellent books!

Disturbing books are so often synonymous with horror fiction. While there are classics, nonfiction, memoirs and other genres that are 'disturbing' I've found horror tends to populate the tops and bottoms of these iceberg images that are popular online. Is there a level below, sinking deeper than the murky depths? I would say there is... I recommend In A Lonely Place https://amzn.to/3OXLDM5 for those who want to remain in the top two levels of books like this. There is the original version (I finally found it again!) of the image here https://imgur.com/a/3Y6UB5L as was posted by one 'shyplasterlord' on reddit a few years ago. It was in a thread on hundreds of them, but this iceberg floated to the top as it were :) For those interested in the PDF that goes along with the Degree of Horror video, it is here: https://nightface.ca/Peever-Writing-Horror.pdf and the video  itself is here: https://youtu.be/vdt9il9zoks ✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ Bookworm decor is here! https://shop.typicalbooks.com/ ▹ All socials, the shop and news: https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever ▹ Read books I wrote: https://amzn.to/3k20OY6 ▹ A list of horror books out each month: https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror ▹ Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/typicalbooks to shop local! ▹ Music by ænorex: https://aenorex.com As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases when you use Amazon links here.

I am culling the shelf in this video. Some of these I liked and want to pass on, some were not for me and one... I did not even read. Most un-haul videos feature tens of books, or over a hundred. I simply don't buy books like that I suppose, and have six to talk about. These are not slam reviews either, but honest points as to why I am setting these books free, to be hunted by others in the wild. Also, my progress on James Patterson's 'Virgin', a release day for 'All These Steps Lead Down' by Nelson W.

Pick up a copy here: https://amzn.to/48OdWoa - I may stick to pronouncing it Say-Guhr! I've heard a few interviews since and this is how it is said almost always when people speak with him. If this isn't a nouveau gothic, I don't want to know what is. Truly. I had a lot of fun with this and if you are not having fun with fiction then... The title of this book and the cover combined caught my eye. I'm not a huge fan of this orangish red and blue color combination but I do like a book with a house on the cover. The Only One Left as a title evokes a sort of gothic feel, some sort of familicide perhaps had gone on and that turned out to be true. The front cover with its colors evoked the title of a short story from ages ago ‘Orange is for Anguish Blue for Insanity' and I figured this would have to do with some sort of perhaps unreliable narrator which wasn't exactly the case. But be that as it may, the cover and the title of this book along with some of the pedigree of the author did its work to entice me to read it. I'd never read any Riley Sager and I figured this would be a good spot to start. Will I read more Riley Sager? Maybe.

Here are some of the top new horror books out for January 2024. Okay, Rosemary's Baby is a reprint - but what a reprint it is! Here is a short clutch of books that caught my eye for January, starting with a few from Horror Writers Association authors. See more like that over at https://horror.org/newreleases/. There are not too many books coming out in January 2024 that really caught my eye. Certainly, if you look at some publishers lists there are more, but nothing that really strikes me as good old fashioned horror. I think we are all reeling a little from the speed at which 2023 seemed to creep up on us, shake us in its jaws and toss us ina corner. That is, if you read the news. If you were blissful and only the main character in tour own story I have feeling it was a rather quiet passing of twelve regular months. I was half of one, and half the other. Here are some very interesting books coming out soon, and some out already... -Shadows & Ink: Mastering the art of Horror Writing and Publishing Volume 1 by Joe Mynhardt -Metal Demon by Julie Hiner -Perverted Little Freak by Rick Wood -Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin with an Introduction by Chuck Palahniuk and afterword by R. L. Stine -The Bad Weather Friend by Dean Koontz -The Best Horror of the Year Volume 15, edited by Ellen Datlow -A Place for Vanishing by Ann Fraistat -The Winslow Sisters by Michael Aronovitz Right now I am reading - The Only One Left: A Novel by Riley Sager https://amzn.to/3tUI69V ✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ Bookworm decor is here! https://shop.typicalbooks.com/ ▹ All socials, the shop and news: https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever ▹ Read books I wrote: https://amzn.to/3k20OY6 ▹ A list of horror books out each month: https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror ▹ Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/typicalbooks to shop local! ▹ Music by ænorex: https://aenorex.com As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases when you use Amazon links here.

It has been a good year for horror, and while 2024 promises to be better, how will I get to it all while reading less books? To end 2023 I talk about social media and how I've been slowly ditching a lot of it, and podcasts. Between the fun that is making a horror film podcast on Dead Air, and this show which is a podcast itself (an award winning one at that), I listen to A Lot of podcasts. I also talk a little about stress and how I refuse to let it in the door... and kind of always have. As well, what I am reading of late and what you think I ought to read! Have a great end to 2023 and may the start of 2024 find you curled up with a good book!

Here are some of the best novellas I read in 2023. While I am on the hunt for books on my shelf I have not read yet, I thought novellas would be a good bet. Turns out, I've nearly read them all! Not a mystery as to why; they are great and short easy reads. Looking for something to read in an afternoon? Here we are. In the meantime, be sure to check out the new amusement park horror, Carni by R. Saint Claire! https://amzn.to/3sSt6ch as mentioned! In horror literature, novellas are perfect additions to any collection. Their short and digestible length make them perfect for one sitting, giving readers instant immersion into chilling narratives. Novellas serve as a nuanced introduction to an author's style, allowing enthusiasts to traverse the macabre landscapes of renowned talents without having to invest time or money into a whole novel. Shorter work used to be more popular in previous centuries, and horror novellas emerge once again as new treasures, with a new-found literary sophistication, in my opinion, and offering enthusiasts a swift yet profound journey into the realms of dread. ✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ Bookworm decor is here! https://shop.typicalbooks.com/ ▹ All socials, the shop and news: https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever ▹ Read books I wrote: https://amzn.to/3k20OY6 ▹ A list of horror books out each month: https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror ▹ Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/typicalbooks to shop local! ▹ Music by ænorex: https://aenorex.com As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases when you use Amazon links here.

Did you read a lot this past year? Or, like me, somewhere around a book every week or two? Did you read a book a month? Twelve books a year is the honest average and the healthy challenge ~ so many of us here on booktube read so much that some even dip into triple digits. It is all well and good, especially when you get the fun of ranking them to ferret out the top ten! While my goal is still around 30 books, I do hope to read more. Is that perverse? After admitting a book a month is the healthy pace? When I look at how quick I can devour a book I am enjoying, I could easily read a book every three days... but there is more to life than great horror novels. There is meeting great horror authors! I had the pleasure of having met a few of the authors in my top ten ,so come along and see who they might have been!

I'd read a few ooky spooky books in October but the stand out novel was Night in the Lonesome October by Richard Laymon. "There are others out there in the night, roaming the streets, lurking in the darkness―waiting to show Ed just how different his world could be. Some of them are enticing, like the beautiful girl who wants to teach Ed about the wonders of the night. Some are disturbing and threatening. Some are deadly…And in search of prey." A wild ride, like most Laymon, but tempered with the soft hush of a chilly night wind, and footsteps through leaves on darkened streets.

The Merrickville Book Emporium and a charity sale at my work had a few really wonderful books for me this week! Then, I'll be on a book buying break for now. On the 1st of November I'll choose the 25 books I'll be reading until... well, when I am done reading them I suppose. This is part of the 'Read what you own' challenge and it comes at a good time. For now, I'll show some of the wonderful books that ended up being part of my last book haul. Merrickville itself is a perfect little Halloween town, but the real horror was finding a wrecked copy of Stephen King's Night Shift at a charity book sale. I wanted to mend it but can't just take in every stray I see...

Enter Boogeyman was sent to me for review by Acheron International: Thank you, Melina! While I am late in getting the news and review out, there are still 4 days left to go if you want to fund the printing of this anthology. Poppy Z. Brite wrote an illuminating introduction... and we will need it to see by down these dark halls wherein the boogeyman dwells. There are 18 stories about various boogeys ~ and four of the eighteen stories are reprints: the ones by Stephen King, Joe R. Lansdale, Ramsey Campbell, and Richard Chizmar. If the introduction and knowledge doesn't chase the haints away, it glows in th dark too, so that may light your way. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acheronint/enter-boogeyman-the-horror-anthology I also get into other boogeymen: from the recent film from a story by Stephen King and even The Halloween film franchise. From wikipedia, "The Boogeyman is a 2023 American supernatural horror film directed by Rob Savage from a screenplay by Scott Beck, Bryan Woods, and Mark Heyman and a screen story by Beck and Woods. It is based on the 1973 short story of the same name, by Stephen King.[6] The film stars Sophie Thatcher, Chris Messina, Vivien Lyra Blair, and David Dastmalchian." It is on Hulu and Disney and I rented it on Itunes. We even get to talk once more about "Becoming the Boogeyman" by Richard Chizmar which is "genuinely chilling and something brand-new and exciting” (according to Stephen King) and comes out October 10 as the follow up to the successful "Chasing the Boogeyman". Chizmar also has an entry in Enter Boogeyman. It all came together after a little Carpenter movie marathon and I realized I'd not said, read or heard the word boogeyman more in the last few days than I had over my entire life. So, what's a few more!

The Night House by Jo Nesbø is the author's first foray into horror; and what a debut it is. A mad trip through small town Ballantyne ends up at the edges of sanity, if not beyond, but we start out innocently enough with two boys on a riverbank. From the first page to the last I had a great time, so thank you to Penguin Random House for sending this along, and Jo Nesbø for tackling the beautiful genre. Have you read The Night House?

The Devil's Promise by Celso Hurtado follows his debut novel The Ghost Tracks about paranormal investigator Erasmo Cruz. Dealing with his grandmother's illness and the continuous struggle with his roots, Erasmo takes on a case alone and it may be his darkest yet. Soon, a skeptical Vero joins him and with the help of a few locals, then old friends, he comes to terms with true evil and how it ties to his own past. A young adult horror that speaks to seasoned fans of cult and occult horror like few can; Hurtado outdoes the first book in this series with a stellar sequel. Thank you to InkShares for sending this advance reading copy along, and thank you to Celso for writing such a great book! Highly recommended, so let me know if you have read either book.

Vish has returned from boarding school to a life upside down in The Grimmer. The premise, the artwork, the music, and a debut in its demographic from Canadian author Naben Ruthnum; I was very excited for this. Thank you for ECW for sending the advance reading copy along! “The small-town mysteries … made modern with a dash of Stranger Things in this spine-tingling supernatural horror-thriller” as Google Books puts it and I would say a YA Grady Hendrix in the making as well. Also suitable for some middle-grade readers as there is no sex or brutality. It does mention drug use and alcoholism, though nothing overt is on the page. A fine occult dark urban fantasy with horror elements and a fun way to start my autumn reads! In my effort to avoid spoilers for this and Helpmeet, I had not heard the correct pronunciation of the authors name until after recording - so now I know! It seems to be Naben as 'nah-ben' which is much nicer than my 'nay-ben' and Ruthnum has more of a 'ruh' than a 'roo'. From ECW “Bringing together scares, suspense, and body horror, The Grimmer is award-winning author Naben Ruthnum's first foray into the young adult genre. Set in Kelowna, B.C., it follows metalhead highschooler Vish as he battles with an interdimensional invasion, all while dealing with being one of the only brown kids in a small town. This gripping ride through the supernatural is loaded with vivid characters and frightening imagery. Although this is YA, Naben is such a great author and the book deals with complex issues such as grief, racism, and addiction that make it an accessible book for readers of all ages.” Let me know if you have read this one! ✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ All socials, the shop and news: ⁠https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever⁠ ▹ Read books I wrote: ⁠https://amzn.to/3k20OY6⁠ ▹ A list of horror books out each month: ⁠https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror⁠ ▹ Bookshop: ⁠https://bookshop.org/shop/typicalbooks⁠ to shop local! ▹ Music by ænorex: ⁠https://aenorex.com⁠ Bookworm Central on Patreon ▹ ⁠https://www.patreon.com/typicalbooks⁠ Learn more with the welcome video ▹ ⁠https://youtu.be/DGXCa-Bz0o4⁠ I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between.

This is the first month in many years I've opened a Book of the Month box! It hasn't been available in Canada for over a decade, and since the restructuring, they have returned north of the united states border so I thought I'd try it out again. Sure, they won't have the sort of horror I like to read most of the time, but there are loads of Stephen King and V. C. Andrews book club editions everywhere for a reason! So, here is my chance to get the BOTM back and make it horror. Do you have BOTM? Other book box services sound great, but are they worth it?

First though, we went to a local library sale and Black Squirrel Books so I have a few new 'curios'. The prize so far is either topping off my V. C. Andrews collection, or this amazing limited photo book of Lewis Carroll's letters to his child friends.

While I am not normally on the hunt for definitive seasonal reads, I came upon what is the best summer horror I've read in ages. While not a slasher or rural terror that I normally associate with the blazing sun and ne'er do well teens, it has shades of both in the background. Wasps in the Ice Cream by Tim McGregor hit my love of dark Canadiana, Addams family oddities and just a plain good story.

I picked up a lot of books on my summer travels! Ira Levin, Brian Keene, Tim Lebbon, Tim Waggoner, Tim McGregor, and if I could come up with another 'Tim' horror author, I'd have bought their books too!

There were widely mixed reviews for Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw and I am very late to the game. I will always think of this as one of the best presented books in a long time - the cover art is beautiful. I also enjoyed the story, and the more I think on it, it strikes me as a manga-style, 90s teen horror cycle tale told with a far more modern take on language, with more than one cardboard cut-out character. But that is fine, since we have our hero Cat to guide us through this; whether it be in our search for true horror or fan-service easter-eggs. Looking forward to reading their next book, The Salt Grows Heavy, sooner rather than this much later!

So many books, and so little time as they say. We get into the books I bought during my trip to Apport Books and what I picked up just the other day. Then into what I read this month and the reading pile to come. It was Independent Bookstore Day this past Saturday and while I did not get a chance to get out, I will be visiting my local bookstores soon, Like Perfect Books and Black Squirrel Books, and of course Allison the Bookman. So, while it is not a small local bookstore I did visit the closest Indigo! A chain bookstore always has so many non-book items but I still find the inside cozy, and this new location is made of reading nooks galore! Still, there is never enough horror for my liking.

Do you love short stories as much as I do? After receiving American Cannibal in the mail I recalled some of the best anthologies I've read in the past few years. Here are some of the top modern horror collections on my shelf: When Things Get Dark https://amzn.to/3L3ZOO0 There is no Death, There are no Dead https://amzn.to/43DU4BW Daughters of Darkness https://amzn.to/41xqImU Dreams From the Witch House https://amzn.to/3KEGJjV Splatterpunk's Not Dead https://amzn.to/3GILCYk The Best Horror of the Year https://amzn.to/41v62f5 Horror anthologies are collections of short stories or novellas that explore the darkest and most terrifying aspects of the human experience. These books have been a staple of the horror genre for decades and continue to play a vital role in shaping the modern horror fiction landscape. By featuring multiple stories from different authors, they allow readers to experience a variety of different writing styles and perspectives on the genre. They also offer a platform for emerging and established horror writers to showcase their work and for editors to blaze a new path. Horror anthologies provide a unique opportunity to explore the depths of human fear page by page, story by story. ✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ All socials, the shop and news: https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever ▹ Read books I wrote: https://amzn.to/3k20OY6 ▹ New horror each month: https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror ▹ Music by ænorex: https://aenorex.com Bookworm Central on Patreon ▹ https://www.patreon.com/typicalbooks Learn more with the welcome video ▹ https://youtu.be/DGXCa-Bz0o4 I talk scary books, extreme horror, classic, gothic, and everything in between.

Books I read, books I will read in March and one questionable special edition? I've just finished reading Poking Holes by Juan Valencia so that will be in the next one as well, and am in the middle of Where the Ocean Was by Nathaniel A. Giles. Next will be Bad Blood by Tobin Elliott and Cuts by Richard Laymon. For the questionable one... was it William Hope Hodgson, Richard Laymon, or Dennis Cooper? I try to be factual but the disappointment in this one hardcover was very real. Or was is awe? Surpassing disappointment into the realm of nearly being impressed by how messed up the production of the book really was?

If you're a horror book enthusiast, you won't want to miss the top picks for the most promising new horror books hitting the shelves in March 2023.
