Yay! I’m glad you did this tag. I also tagged “anyone participating in Horror Mayhem” it’s a twofer! You can’t ever go wrong with recommendations by MJ & Olly 😂 👏🏻👏🏻 Dear lord, what a story you told! 😱 - 📚MJ
You’re right. You did say “anyone participating…” I’ll add you to my notes as having tagged me too! 😉 MJ and Olly Recommendations are THE BEST! Hey, maybe you should do a recommendations video together! 😊 Really, MJ, I have had so much fun with my little venture into horror. Thanks again! 🥰
@@BookChatWithPat8668 I’m so glad! LOL! That is a cool video idea - but he won’t. 😂😂
I’m so happy to hear you shout out Shirley Jackson’s other work, she’s one of my favorites! Gothic stories were my introduction to horror because I was a bit of a scaredy cat when I was younger. If you’d like some more recommendations I would suggest The Vampires of El Norte (especially since you say you’ve been liking vampires), the Death of Jane Lawrence (a lot of focus on atmosphere), and for a classic The Phantom of the Opera (I think an under-read novel).
As a side note, I love your poetry shorts. I’ve struggled to get into poetry but there’s something about hearing it read out loud and you have a lovely voice for it.
Thank you for this lovely comment and for all of these wonderful recommendations! 🥰
Thanks for the tag. I think id like that Shirley Jackson collection.
I think you would too. I wasn’t sure how you feel about horror, but you know, it wouldn’t be a tag for me if I didn’t tag you snd my usual suspects! 😉
Thank you for doing the tag! That's great to hear that you have been enjoying diving into the genre for Horror Mayhem!
Thank you for creating the tag and for watching my video. It's been a lot of fun dipping my toe into horror, and I enjoyed doing your tag!
I'm enjoying the not-so-horror versions of this tag. I'm glad you've been having fun by lightly sampling the genre!
It’s been a fun month, I have to say! 😊
Since you like the Kingfisher so much, you should definitely keep your eyes open for a copy of Usher's Passing by Robert McCammon. A bit hard to find in paper these days, but it's out there. Another great riff on the Poe story. The other Shirley Jackson that no one talks about nearly enough: We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Read on!
Hi Troy. Thank you so much for the recommendations. Someone else just a minute ago also recommended the Shirley Jackson that you just mentioned. This is awesome! I will keep an eye out for McCammon too. Thanks again!
I agree 💯 about Dark Tales by Shirley Jackson. I talked about that collection of short stories last fall precisely because I think it's an underrated short story collection. 🖤
How about that! Great minds! 🥰
Horrorstör is AMAZING! I’m not the best judge on whether it might be too much for you or not. I adore horror and it takes a lot to creep me out. Like my love of spicy food, I’m usually really bad at taking a step back and analyzing whether something is too over the top for others. 😅
OK. Well, that's good to know. I appreciate the recommendation! Thanks!
Thanks for the tag! Will have some coffee and try to engage brain..
This will be an easy tag for you! I will look forward to your responses! 😊
Good video! It's been fun to follow your journey into horror and mayhem!
Thanks, Reney! It’s been a pretty tentative journey, but it’s been fun.
If you enjoy “Something Wicked” half as much as I did, you will have a great time. I can still remember where I was as I read and was awed and delighted by the climax. It took me back to my childhood self in a wondrous way. Read it every October for many years. Hope I’m not overselling. Lol.
Oh how wonderful!! I’m definitely enjoying it so far! I’ll let you know when I’m finished! 🥰
I love the idea of "cozy horror"!
Me too! It was the perfect entrance into the genre for me!😊
Love this Pat and I love the fact you’ve chosen a zombie Star Trek book to transition into the Wrath of Summer Star Trek readathon 😂. Brilliant video 😊
Thanks, Debs! I just cracked up when I saw the Star Trek zombie book. But I do have a number of actual Star Trek books as well. 😊 Hope you’re doing well, my friend!🥰
Hi Pat--I'm late (yet again) to this video. I'm so glad to see that you are finding some horror that works for you. I agree that T. Kingfisher is a great choice!
I have Shirley Jackson's Dark Tales in my pile for short story collections to get to. I'm hoping to read it in the fall.
Hi Melinda! It was a fun tag for me to do as a total newbie to the genre. Yes, T. Kingfisher is wonderful! I won’t be reading any hard core horror any time soon, but what I’ve read has mostly been fun! Hope you’re doing well and having a good weekend! 😊
I've been inspired by your reviews to give T Kingfisher a go! I'm halfway through What Moves the Dead and enjoying it a lot!
Oh, I'm so glad, Aaron! I just picked up my fourth of hers at the library! She was just the right author for me. I hope you continue to enjoy too. What Moves the Dead was just creepy enough for me!
I love your answers. I have gotten away from horror. I still read some occasionally.
You mentioning The Lottery ticked my memory that it was a book we read back in school.
I love vampire novels too.
I want to read Grady Hendrix. I have The Final Girl Support Group
Thanks, Stuart. I’ve been having a lot of fun with this little venture. Hope you’re doing well.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 You're welcome Pat. Thank you. I am doing well.
Thank you for the tag! Ill have to try to get this in before the month is out!
I haven't read My Best Friends Exorcism, but I have read Horrorstor and thought it was great. He does seem like a good next step from T. Kingfisher to me.
Thanks, Becca! 😊
Wow pat I need to know more of that killer. I’m a bit weird like that we’ll talk later.
I LOVE THIS TAG!!! You know me so well I’m going to enjoy this one. Thank you. 🙏🏼
You’ll like Grady Hendrix I think
I’ll tell you more offline…The stuff of nightmares.
Love it! I will probably always take your horror recommendations because I think we are kindred spirits with the horror genre! 😂
I am such a chicken with the gory and slasher type content but I love a good ghost story and I am currently reading What Moves The Dead after watching one of your last videos. Thanks so much for the tag!
We ARE kindred spirits! I do think of you as braver than I, though.😊
Akk! I’m going to have to read a book on John List. I’ve not heard about this until now, Awful! Love your poetry readings. I saw Carrie as a little girl, not a fan of that one. I have been wanting to read Something Wicked for the longest time. This was a fun video. I love learning about my friends.
You can Google the List murders. There’s tons of stuff written about the whole nightmare of a story. Thanks for the vote of confidence re: poetry readings! 😊
I would suggest NOS4A2 by Joe Hill. Maybe your subscribers can weigh in on whether you would enjoy it?
Thanks!
Great video Pat! Lots of T. Kingfisher on here, which is great. I want to read her books as well. I recently borrowed Nettle & Bone from a friend.
T. Kingfisher has been a wonderful new find for me! Hope you’re doing well, Chas!
@@BookChatWithPat8668 that’s great to hear. I am doing well thanks. 😊 I hope you are too?
@@BookishChas yes, doing very well! Hope you have a good weekend.
Thank you so much for the tag!. Wow, that is a disturbing story. I still need to watch your video on Poe. I have not read a lot of Gothic Literature but I did love Dracula. I hope you enjoy Something Wicked This Way Comes, a personal favorite. I loved Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived In The Castle, i will look out for Dark Tales. I have just read Night Of The Living Trekkies and really had fun, despite knowing next to nothing about Star Trek. Just a friendly warning, there is quite a bit of gore, it is a zombie tale after all. 😂Great video! I will also check out those other channels.
Thanks for all the recommendations and also for the warnings. I think the Star Trek Zombie book looks more fun than scary, but I'll let you know if it was too much for me. I was a Star Trek fan growing up--of the original series from the 1960's. I know nothing about all of the subsequent series. This tag will be perfect for you as you actually know what you're talking about when you talk about horror!
Actually laughed out loud when you said you will remember that six-fingered hand till the day you die. Lol Clearly that is a memory. 😂
I didn't enjoy The haunting at hillside.
😂 I actually looked it up on RUclips. There are several videos of it. The stuff of nightmares!! 😳
