    The way you describe these books is fantastic. I’m someone who needs to be sold on something by a really good description and you nailed it! Every single one of these is now in my Amazon cart 😆

    My favorite horror sub-genres are Creature Features, Vampires, and Ocean Horror.

    If you liked Dead Silence, you might like Salvation Day by Kali Wallace. They have similar premises (exploring an empty space ship) with creepy vibes!

    I just met T. Kingfisher at an author event and the way she talks is so similar to the way she writes, it was really interesting!

    Riley, girl you KILLED this video!! ♥️ I loved your synopsis for everything; the books I’ve already read you summed up perfectly without giving anything away but just enough to pull you in and I’ve added literally everything else to my TBR because you were so convincing!

    So happy that my favorite intro in the world is back!!!! Just catching up on videos so I’m a bit behind 😍 I’ve had Rules For Vanishing on my TBR forever. Can’t wait to get to it. Oh man I loved Rolling in the Deep better than Into the Drowning Deep, but yea those sirens are super scary!

  • @JediJuniper92
    @JediJuniper92 2 года назад +1

    I LOVE Into the Drowning Deep and Best Friend’s Exorcism so I’m uber excited to read the others you recommended. Slewfoot has been on the top of my lost to read for awhile so that’ll be next.

  • @chelseamorgana
    @chelseamorgana 2 года назад

    I just started dipping my toes into the horror genre, and I think I really like monster/creature horror. Maybe that’s the fantasy reader in me 🤷🏻‍♀️

    • @RileyMarie_

      I think you'll like IT by stephen king. It's a pretty long book but worth every page but is writing style is a bit weird.

    • @VOIDINKS
      @VOIDINKS Год назад

      If you like the whole friend group trying to survive trope I'd highly recommend the troop ☺️ it's super well written and probably my favourite book (I am obsessed with horror and have very high standards haha)

    A new favorite horror book of mine is Head Like a Hole by Andrew Van Wey. Wow. I swear, that book was written just for me lol. Have another book of his on the way to me, called By the Light of Dead Stars. If it's just as good, then I may have found a new favorite author too!

  • @MoJordanReads
    @MoJordanReads 2 года назад

    I haven't read any of these but I did recently read The Death of Jane Lawrence. It was alright, I don't really read horror of any kind so it's hard for me to love them but I think for me, the pacing was off. But I liked the characters and their relationship. I'm glad I tried it out!

    I feel kind of alone with Slewfoot. I didn’t really like it. To me it doesn’t feel like a horror book. Going through it it felt more like a Historical fantasy and I quickly got bored with it.
