Man, you've such a likeable personality.

The statement that blood and gore in a book was the equivalent of a jump scare was brilliant. It's the same way for me. I'd rather have a creeping sense of dread, subtext and psychological horror. That's not to say I dislike blood and gore on occasion, but it doesn't belong in *every* story. :-)

When the film roll dropped from the book, that legit felt like the start of a horror story.

When the filmstrip fell out, it was like the beginning of a Creepypasta.

"What I find horrific is a mounting sense of dread." Was just thinking that. Subscribed.

Refreshing. Saw that King wasn’t included and immediately clicked. As much as I like king, everybody knows him so it is easier to find and experience new authors and novels.

The Ruins is an incredible book. It's gross, dark and super depressing. I admire the fact that it unnerved me so bad that I never want to read it again.

Thank you! This is an awesome list. My goal this year is to read more than last year & this list is perfect place to start. Great video.

Just found your channel, E. Great stuff! I totally agree with you on “Ruins”. I read it a couple years ago and some of those scenes are still with me. Also, I thing the author wrapped it up perfectly. Very satisfying ending, at least for me.

Thanks for your suggestion for The Ruins...listened to it on Audible and enjoyed it thoroughly. Enjoyed your video.

Love this! Just what I needed this year. It would have been helpful if you would have just held the book still in front of the camera for a few moments, but with pausing at the right time, I could catch a glimpse of the cover and author name spelling. Great list!

I'm so excited. Half of these are already on my TBR. You are the first person I hear mention the PiloFamily Circus. I came across this when researching circus books and immediately put it on my TBR. Also, I tried reading Ghost Story over 10 years ago but couldn't get into the writing style and DNFed it. Wish I hadn't unhauled it because I've been wanting to pick it up again.
