Me while sipping tea: We're meant to tell ghost stories at Christmas?
It's a British tradition, I believe
The Shuddering by Ania Ahlborn has left me with a desperate need for more werewolf horror!
A werewolf novel I really enjoyed was Those Across the River by Christopher Buehlman. Also, Wolf's Hour by Robert McCammon was fantastic. More of a ww2 thriller than horror, but also includes a hearty coming of age aspect -- very enjoyable! 🐺
I read a witch horror this past October called The Midwives by Duncan Ralston, and I feel like that's something you would enjoy 🧙♀️
Thanks for all the recs
For both vampires and witches I recommend Anne Rice: Interview with the Vampire and The Witching Hour are both great!
Thanks for the recs
I might need to read When the Moon Turns to Blood now. While I normally steer clear of true crime, I have a friend who has become radicalized and is constantly in a state of fear because she believes that the "end times' are upon us. I want to understand why she thinks this way, but without engaging in a friendship-ending argument, if I can avoid it.
Thank you for this video, Rachel!
Oh I'm sorry your in the same boat. Yes it was helpful to understand how people get pulled into this crazy ideas
Perfect thumbnail text, ha. Like, most things I love in one list. Straight to the point. Sold. 😅
Why thanks
Great video. Such good book descriptions and views. Also from your viewers in the comments. Thanks to all and Happy New Year.🎉✌
Thanks... happy new years
My feelings about The Snowman pretty much mirror yours.
The Last Werewolf sounds good.
Thanks for the reviews! 📚
Yeah I was letdown by the Snowman
Liked, Shared, and a comment. Also recommended your channel to a friend today!!! Hope you have a great holiday season.
Thank you! That's the best Christmas gift
Thank you for your reviews, your videos are always great! A werewolf book that is an all time favorite and is very underrated or at least under the radar is The Devourers by Indrapramit Das!
Ooo I've vageuly heard of that but never read it
I'm kind of surprise you haven't read "Interview with a Vampire." Another Canadian booktuber thought it was sublime. I read it when I was pretty young and thought it was excellent but I would stop after reading "The Vampire Lestat." The quality of output from Anne Rice dropped like a ton of stones. So I know it's not the homework result you requested but I just pick up & read Interview w/a Vampire if you can.
I definitely want to read it. Maybe one of my Halloween reads next fall
Agree with you on this. I would also recommend Interview With A Vamplre.
Ok my witch book... The Witching Hour by Anne Rice! My werewolf book... The Howling by Gary Brandner! And my winter book... 🤔 hmmm. I don't have a winter book! 😂
wow... has the miniature broom always been in that cup? Just noticed!
It comes and goes... I love my Witch broom pen
Good vid!👍 I'm adding the last werewolf to my tbr📚
I don't remember if you've read this already and it is post apocalyptic but I think you would enjoy The Passage trilogy by Justin Cronin. 🧛♂️/ 🧟♂️
While I generally like witchy books, I thought The Year Of The Witching fell a little flat for me too. It was ok but didn't wow me!
Oh yes that one is on my tbr... I've heard good things about it
Have you read The Crow Girl as by Erik Axl Sund? There is an omnibus I bought and read, mesmerized, and only after I'd read it did I realize it was actually three books when originally published. Seamless, though, so I'd recommend buying The Crow Girl, as it's called. Scandinavian procedural killer thriller horror with great pacing and compelling people.
No I haven't but that sounds really interesting
I'm glad you enjoyed The Last Werewolf, Duncan really expands on it with the trilogy. I hadn't heard about the comparison to Interview, but I see why people would. What I really liked about it (actually, about both of those) is that the literary aspect of it made it feel like it was truly in our reality.
Ah yes I agree it very very believable
Snowblind by Christopher Golden is really good.
Great video
Have you read Road of Bones by Christopher Golden? It's a great winter horror story!! It actually scared me and most books don't. ❄️☃️🥶
Oh yes I read that one earlier this year
Love your videos as always. When the Moon turns to Blood- I really want to know how did 2 normal people turn psychopathic or so mentally ill that they believed their own crazed thinking. It has to be mental illness. How do you go from loving mom to that ugh all the questions! Lol on Lucky Girl, I need to pick it up. I’m the opposite though, I don’t like stories within a story, I’d rather the author skip over it and stick to the main story 😊 lovely recs. Thank you!
I've definitely learned the power of cults, especially affecting those with their own trauma It's scary how people spiral
Loved the hat!
Why thank you!
Randomly clicked, saw the last werewolf first, knew it was going to be good :) that series is one of my favorites.
Good to know that the rest of the series is good
I know this a pretty old video but the first season of Hemlock Grove was very good. The second season however I couldn’t even finish it was so bad.
Good to know
I hope you are feeling better ❤️ great video!
Thanks... I keep getting sick lol
Moondance by S P Somtow is a great under-discussed werewolf book, and the short story "The Complete Werewolf" as by Anthony Boucher is another over-looked zinger.
Alan Dean Foster's Icerigger trilogy is great for winter fiction. It's SF and adventure and great fun.
Thanks for the recs!
I just read Such Sharp Teeth (3/5 for me) but it might hit a little better for you.
I have that on hold through my library
I recommend The Wolfman by Nicholas Pekearo. An interesting twist on the werewolf story. This was a first novel in what looked to be a promising career. He was killed while working as an auxiliary police officer in New York while following a man who had just killed and robbed a pizza shop owner. It came out in 2008 so it may not be easy to find.
Thanks for the rec!
ghost story by peter straub
I should try the last werewolf. I’ve avoided any books from the last 10 yrs or so that mention werewolf in the synopsis due to the cheesiness and YA takes on them.
My sister gave me her copy of The Snowman when it first came out. I still haven’t read it for the same reasons you mentioned. I read every Harry Bosch novel (except for last couple) in a short period of time. I liked them but now all other similar themed novels by others don’t feel fresh or original (even if they may have wrote them first and Connelly did it much later). Having the same issue with fantasy this year. I’m not bothering with library fantasy books that I would have eagerly grabbed a couple years ago. I’m sure I’ll swing back around and enjoy them again in a few years though.
I understand your avoidest of Werewolf stories. Last Werewolf was thankfully not cheesy
I'm currently listening to Night of the Mannequins by Stephen Graham Jones. Happy December 🎄🖤
Such a fun one! I hope you enjoy it!
Have you read the book The book of shadow, the book of spirits, and witchery by James Reese ,about a hermafroditas witch.....is really good.....
Thanks for the rec
I would want to read more about the case, so that's a bummer. I haven't read many werewolf books. I recently read Such Sharp Teeth and enjoyed it but it's probably too cozy for you 😂
Oh that one is on my Libby hold list! Hopefully I'm in the mood for a cozy read
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs
Thanks for the rec
I'm a big werewolf fan myself! The Last Werewolf was okay, but I thought it was a bit pretentious. I haven't heard of Hemlock Grove so I will definitely need to check that out.
Some of my favorite werewolf books:
Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones
Wolf's Hour by Robert McCammon
The Devourers by Indra Das
The Wolf in the Attic by Paul Kearney
Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow
Wolfsangel by M.D. Lachlan
The Skin Trade by George R.R. Martin
Sorry! I really like werewolf books.
Don't apologize... this list is amazing!
Such sharp teeth!!
On my hold list!!
Oh man I DNFd The Last Werewolf when I tried to read it. I just couldn’t get into it. I really liked the Hemlock Grove show, bummer you can’t watch it. I’m so intrigued by All the White Spaces.
I think I DNF last werewolf twice before it finally worked for me this time
⛄️🌨☃️✨
Hello there hey there hey Hello hi you so nice and nicest friend
