Thanks for the recommendations! I am not a traditional horror (or scary movie) fan, but years ago I read a book that I thought was just a sci fi book. After I finished it, I found out that it was classified as horror, and I remember thinking “really? I didn’t think so. But I do see how it could be classified as alien/phychological horror and easily made into a horror film. So that actually made me think that there might be horror books out there that I might enjoy. So when I saw your video, I thought, I’m going to have to write these down, these are probably right up my alley! Unfortunately, it’s been so many years since I read the book it referenced, I don’t remember the name, or I’d recommend it to you!
@@rhondita95 that’s how I kind of stumbled into the horror genre as well. I have always loved thrillers, so for me it was a thriller I read that was classified as horror and that’s when I realized that I enjoy horror that is more psychological side. Let me know when you read any of these and how you liked them 🥰 and if you ever remember the book, let me know as well 😝
These are great recommendations! I would also recommend Carmilla. It is the original vampire but not very scary imo. And so good! And Cackle by Rachel Harrison was really good too!
This was great Fine! Thanks for the recommendations. I’m trying to broaden my horror horizons. I always recommend Ballad of Black Tom for entry level horror. Cunning Folk is another good one.
As a fellow scaredy cat, appreciate these! I'll definitely have to check out Rouge and Such Sharp Teeth. I actually really love It by Stephen King. It has very scary moments but so much of the book is very focused on the coming of age story and the amount that I grew to care about those kids was unreal. There is no defending that ending but I love the rest of it enough that I end up re-reading it every couple years. You do probably need to be more character-driven to enjoy it though, it's definitely not fast paced. 😂
@@caitcoy well hello there scaredy cat 🤣🐾 how is Friday the 13th treating you? That is really good to know. I do love character driven books! And king is great with those. Might have to move It up a bit higher then?!?! 😬
@@FineReads I'm good, given the supposed unluckiness of today's date. 😂 Hopefully today is good for you too! I would normally recommend the audiobook for It because the voices are fantastic but it does make the scary sections even creepier. 😅
@@FineReads Up to this point it has mainly been Stephen King. It, The Shining/Dr. Sleep Revival etc.. Am slowly working through Lovecraft and just recently read some Riley Sager. That's honestly about it. Still early days.

I definitely want to read more Rachel Harrison! All her books sound super interesting. Cackle is next on my list :)

@@BookishChas oh yes, I forgot about the ballad! Great cosmic horror 😝

@@VenusEscapesToRead thank you 🥰
Ya know I am something of a horror newbie myself. There are a few I had not heard of here that I will have to check out.
@@A-AronB what are some of the horror books you have read that you liked?
@@FineReads Up to this point it has mainly been Stephen King. It, The Shining/Dr. Sleep Revival etc.. Am slowly working through Lovecraft and just recently read some Riley Sager. That's honestly about it. Still early days.
@@A-AronB oooh, Lovecraft! I need to read more by him too! The vibes in his books are everything
This was awesome. You big baby.
