The Richard Laymon book I would recommend to you is In The Dark as it revolves around a librarian on a deadly scavenger hunt!
I am reading this one right now. It is also very entertaining. The main character does make constant questionable decisions but you can just go with it.
The movie version of The Bad Seed is well worth catching and has a uniquely bizarre ending! Can't say more without giving the game away but a book/film comparison would be fascinating and or compelling (couple of alternatives for "interesting"!)
The movie is amazing of I remember right but I forgot it was based on a book.
I love both the book and movie. Whatever happen to baby Jane is also a favorite of mine.
Good ol’ Hayes Code, ruining endings for decades.
As I understand it Richard Laymon was one of the early splatterpunk writers which is the subgenre that extreme horror comes from.
I'm glad you like The Cellar. I think it is his best book. You should read the sequels. The Beast House and The Midnight Tour
I second this. I enjoyed the first two but loved the final book
For another Richard Laymon pick I'd recommend One Rainy Night
DUDE. I would love to listen to you talk about books for an hour.
🌿I read Richard Laymon's Traveling Vampire Show many years ago. I loved it. I think you would like it. His books were wild rides in their time! 🌿
i love Richard Laymon books. Endless Night, Funland and In The Dark, Island are my favourites. Traveling Vampire Show is my next read.
I made it 20 pages into Endless Night by Richard Laymon and had to quit, It was A LOT lol
The Travelling Vampire Show is my favorite Laymon. Really excellent 🖤
I used to be hooked on Laymon he is so crazy, and not for everyone. Checkout The Woods Are Dark, and Island.
Island is my favorite by Laymon so far!
@@Alicia-606 mine too
Just finished The Chestnut Man, which I would recommend, and Those Girls, which I would not.
I read quite a lot of Richard Laymon when I was in high school. It's been quite a while since I've read any of his books, so I'm not sure how I would feel about some of them now. However, I remember really enjoying The Woods are Dark and The Stake, and I would (probably) still recommend those.
He was one of those writers who I have to try again. The first book of his I read was Night in Losesome October and maybe because I was use to reading Stephen King it felt plotless.
Your name is Resurrection Dreams, and you didn't recommend that?
Yes to The Bad Seed comparison!!👍🏼
This month I finally got around to reading fight club by Chuck Palahniuk. That book was such a trip, I did not expect it to be as trippy and weird as it was but I rly rly enjoyed it
The Glory Bus is another Laymon book I remember being pretty good.
I also read Then She Was Gone this month!
Read The Cellar way back in high school. Laymon is a wild ride.
I clicked so fast for Monstrilio.. It’s one of my favorites of the year so far!
The Bad Seed movie was awesome! Patty McCormack was awesome in that role. Creepy and dangerious kid.
I read the Cellar series by Richard Laymon, excellent. On The Fog by James Herbert, I think it was a point about (British?) horror books of the time, especially the animal attack books like Devil's Coach-horse, Scorpions, and Guy N Smith books where the authors would build back stories to victims so you can sympathise/hate them before they meet their fates.
I have just finished Certain Dark Things by Sylvia Moreno-Garcia and read Ramskull by William Meikle and just received The Gathering by CJ Tudor, I didn't realise she was British.
Agreed ! The fog by Herbert was such an incredible read. My top 2 writers is Richard laymon and James Herbert. For laymon it's "the dark" and Herbert is "crickly hall"
My favourite Laymon was Flesh. So seek that one out
ive only read 3 of his but thought after midnight was quite a good unique sorta thriller
@@KevinsKontentKorner that is a good too. Most of his books you'll have fun with. Mainly dialogue driven so quick easy reads
I LOVED Monstrilio…🖤
I would really like a video of books you really liked about grief. I also loveee books that talk about grief and mental illness that completely destroy me. I would love recommendations from you and what you found really heartbreaking and relatable
Endless Night by Richard Laymon, it's really good!
I loved the cellar. But it’s been since the early 90’s since I read it. 😂
part of me wants to read the bad seed, but a much stronger part of me hated the little girl in the movie so much that i dont know if i wanna put myself through that again lmao
Rizzoli & Isles is my all-time favorite series.
I would totally be up for a movie vs book of The Bad Seed 😁
Knew you would love laymon
If you like Richard Laymon you will most likely enjoy Brian Keene as well!! Both have a similar writing style although Keene may lean a bit more towards "Extreme". "Island" is a fun read from Laymon and "Castaways" by Keene is a trip!!
I loved Castaways!
@@lesliepowell-mccarty7067 ME TOO!! Sick and twisted and totally fun!!
@@kurtwoods7546 Exactly!! 😎✌️
Pretty sure she's read Dead Sea by Brian Keene recently.
ramble away my friend, it'll be therapeutic for you, and joy for us ❤
Talking about Bad Seeds I'm going to recommend And The Ass Saw The Angel by Nick Cave again. I'm going to keep recommending this book until you read it dammit! :D
I absolutely loved the Cellar but didn't read any others in the series, will you be reading more of them??
When you mentioned the idea of pallet cleansing with going from something like Necrophilia to a Cozy Mystery it got me thinking about how I read books. I often find myself reading more than one book at a time. For instance, I am finishing the Dead Forest by Cixin Liu (an amazing book by the way and I really look forward to how Netflix will deal with it in season 2 of The Three Body Problem). And then there are times when I will put down Forest and pickup another book - currently The Power Broker.
These novels could not be further in genre from one another; One is hard science fiction and the other an autobiography about Robert Moses. I know this process may not be unique but wanted to share how I ingest my books now. I don't know if it makes sense or not, but I find that it simply helps keep me (more) invested in both titles.
Love your hauls as always. Where did you get that sweater love it?
I’ve only had 5 five star reads this month 😭. Murder Road and The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James, Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell, One of Our Own by Lucinda Berry, and Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
I read Monstrilio last month and really enjoyed it. Also read The Necrophiliac this month and...well, it was an experience. The best book I read in April was The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. About a young woman dealing with suicidal depression, but the way it's written is beautiful. I couldn't put it down.
The Bell Jar is a tough one but a really great read!
I recently read This Thing Between Us and I thought it had very excellent quotes on grief. I think you'd like it.
There have been a few bad seed movies the original from 1956 is probably still the best but the 1985 is okay and then the bad seed and the bad seed returns with Mckenna Grace and Rob Lowe take it another direction
If you can watch the original The Bad Seed, I think you would like it. Thanks for the recommendations!
Vivian
"Extracuricular Activities in the Corpse Department" would make an excellent title for a book.
Those are interesting books❤
please talk about books for an hour i loved this video make more pls pls pls pls pls!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve just read Flesh by Richard laymon. Think you’ll enjoy it 🎉
Laymon characters aren't known for making great decisions. My favorite of his was the first one I ever read, Midnight's Lair. Endless night is also pretty bonkers from the start.
@Anda Kent, could you tell me where you got your skulls sweater. Thanks!
Where did you get your reading journal from? Currently am looking for one myself :)
Grief horror rec: Green Fuse Burning- Tiffany Morris.
Anda, did you read Blood Meridian yet? I'm waiting to hear your thoughts. Amazing book. Possibly my favorite.
Not yet, but I promise I will get to it sometime this year!
I just finished the cellar last week. And I also couldn't stand the mom. I feel like she was deliberate kinda oblivious to everything around her. The daughter is far smarter. I kinda didn't like the ending either.
I read my 1st Stephen King novel this month, The Eyes of the Dragon. It was alright. I couldn't really figure out the story telling method. Like, who is the narrator? Is it Stephen King talking to me as the reader? Someone in universe telling me as the reader or as someone in that universe?
I thought the story was fine but really couldn't get on board with the writing style.
First to comment. Yay me. We love your videos 👍
Anybody read Laymon's "Midnight's Lair"?
I did some time ago. I liked it quite a lot. On the other hand, I liked most of the Laymond books that I read xD
L LOVE YOUR SHIRT. WHERE CAN I FIND ONE FOR MY WIFE? I HAVE THREE DIFFERENT BOOKS TITLED 'THE CELLAR' BY 3 DIFFERENT AUTHORS.
HER SMELL WAS A BIG REASON I MARRIED MY WIFE.
Women tend to make poor decisions in richard books
Richard laymon books
Most extreme horror is just disturbing nonsense. I have yet to find a book that isn't just stupid "shocking acts"
What do you typically like to see in an "extreme horror" book?
@@Naturally2Sexy a good story without the stupid rape and shocking sex junk.
