10:11 Your comedy is golden!😹

The title 'The Slob' suggests laziness and low energy. It takes a LOT of energy to hold a woman captive and put her through hell. I would have preferred 'The Pig'.

That thumbnail work is awesome 😂

Oh my God I'm freaking out! That Dark Tower the gunslinger hardcover you have, is extremely rare!!! I love The Dark Tower series!

Check out his book Succulent Prey!

Am I the only one watching this who finds her quite attractive and compelling?

I got one more laugh out of it than you did, and it was when Rebecca expressed what she would do in order to have a squirrel pie. Just the wording and the enthusiasm of her statement caught me off-guard and forced a laugh out of me. The story overall just struck me as an extended version of that old showbiz trope, the Aristocrats joke. What do you call a family like that? The Aristocrats!

Great vid, really loved! My husband and I live and breathe horror, and when the summer gets hot and dreadful with too much sun, we delve into horror and Halloween and all things spooky to cool down. Morticia

I just downloaded a few of those new-ish Firefly books the other day! Looking forward to reading them

First, love your channel name! Second, thanks for the reading recs. 3rd, My husband and I are scary and we wear Butterscotch perfume which everyone says smells good which now amuses me, haha.

My favorite Sonnet books are probably For the Sake Of & For the Sake Of 2. The plots follow the usual kidnapping/snuff/red room tropes, but what she does with the framework (particularly in the second one) is increasingly outrageous and intense. Another extreme book worth reading is "What Good Girls Do" by Jonathan Butcher. It's the most horrifying and haunting book I've read in the genre. It has a sequel, "What Good Men Do," but it seems unnecessary.

That intro 😂😂

🖖

Love your videos! Keep it up!

Rabbit Hunt surprised me honestly because many writers/directors seem to always go the "white people are the problem" way. While Rabbit Hunt addresses themes of racism but also on how black people do plenty to themselves that keep them down as well.

I recognize the artist who did the cover of his pain, SUZZAN BLAC She is an oil painter who used her art to express the trauma and mental toll abuse has on a person. Her pieces are harrowing, brutal and beautiful; they have a lot of commentary on SA, CSA, Misogyny in media and society, it’s wild, I highly recommend seeing her other pieces, her work is amazing.

Ok now do Michael Slade

I've only read The Resurrectionist, which I loved. The film version was a pale imitation.

'To be Devoured' caught my interest. Looking it up now.

There are 3 versions of 'The Stand'. Most people think there are only 2 versions. You have the lesser known abridged 1980 paperback version. The more well known abridged version is the 1978 first edition. The unabridged version was published in 1990.

Or: ‘an introductory guide to dating in Florida’

Thanks for these cool reviews! If you're really looking for extreme horror, check out "The Pig" & "The House" by Edward Lee.

Cool review, thanks. Liked and subbed.

So there is a direct link between Rage and Catcher In the Rye which also has an annoying, "realness"-obsessed protagonist and has been linked to at least one attempted presidential assassination.

Nameless, ambiguous, vague, obscure, indescribable terrors and entities of cosmic evil that predates Earth itself is his primary theme. You also need to bear in mind that the overall writing style was rather different a century ago, and most of the literature he consumed was written a century before he began. Like many authors from those periods, he is wordy, overly descriptive, and cautious with his word choice due to his contemporary audience (Stephen King or Clive Barker would have been rejected outright, back then). Lovecraft is an acquired taste for many folks. I think people who spend most of their time reading modern lit (as opposed to Victorian, for example) have a more difficult time staying focused on his story due to his prose. Twenty years ago, I had a very difficult time myself. I would read, but the words just began to blur. It was hard to continue and enjoy it, as well as retain it. Now, with college far behind me, many older authors read (such as Blackwood, Doyle, Christie, Verne, Burroughs, Stoker, Shelley, Walpole, etc.), and after several of Lovecraft's tales in audiobook format, I find him a delight to read. Because I immersed myself in the literature of that era. However, some folks still find him too wordy, too 'befuddling,' or just not an interest. It happens. There are several contemporary authors who write in that universe and bring it to life, in a more concise fashion, such as Byron Craft. If you like Pulp Era Cop and Gumshoe stories (with a Cthulhu theme), he is your man. If you have not yet purchased an audiobook of Lovecraft, might I suggest: "The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft" - an Audiobook by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society - By: H. P. Lovecraft - Narrated by: Andrew Leman, Sean Branney The narration is top notch and perfect for the stories and period. I listen to it frequently. It is available on Audible. I hope this helps. 'The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown' ~ H.P. Lovecraft

No idea how i ended up here. From Stephen King review to you. Interesting.

I've always wanted to learn Italian but every time I get to anything to do with eating I have flashbacks to this film. Mangia! 😳😵‍💫🤢🤮 The version of Caligula that's shown on British TV has most of the naughty stuff removed. Then it's just an average film that happens to have a top notch cast (Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, Helen Mirren and John Gielgud no less!).

Just found your channel today, watched the wrath James white video. Really love your genuine vibe and reviews, esp now it seems like a trend for CZcamsrs and tiktokers to shit on ppl for even reading the genre.

Probably not gonna hear much from Otis anymore as he was caught recently sharing naked pictures of readers with another author and joking about a reader's SA....

The Resurrectionist - easily his most famous

Ok. Sounds like a waste of time unless you jerk off to abuse

I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets tripped up thinking of words to say.

Great video. I'll definitely give Bluejay a whirl - Megan Stockton seems an interesting author.

Bluejay sounds really interesting, added it to my summer TBR.

The Judith Sonnet book I've enjoyed the most was Fetal Backwash (not part of a writing challenge) just because it's fun and gross though I admit I've only read 4 of her books so far. I wouldn't look forward to any more Otis Bateman books he and another EH author have been involved in controversy lately and has deleted all his social media and authors he's worked with have removed those collaborated books from sale where they can. As always I love your channel, you express yourself so well and capture a lot of my own feelings about the genre in a matter of fact way, looking forward to more.

Another awesome video! 2 of these seemed eespecially good.

Cool. thanks

Wow, these were excellent, insightful reviews! Thank you for getting beneath the surface!🙏🤘

I read His Pain after hearing so much about it here on Booktube and ... yeah. It was revolting. Absolutely revolting. The sexual violence in that book was off the chain. Having said that, it was strangely fascinating. I didn't hate it and I don't know why. It was just so visceral, I guess that's why. And I have to say ... BEST BOOK COVER EVER. Whoever did that ... kudos to you.

I had to look up if the author was a white man because if he was rabbit hunt would seem very racist, as if comparing the concept of reparations to the murder and rape of white people. I'm glad he's black because woof i was scared

Recently read Magik. I wont look at a spitoon or vase the same now....

I just read Dead Inside.... yep.....that was a book

I love when people genuinely review books like his instead of just reacting the entire length of the video, like "this happened and it was GROSS! this happened and it was AWFUL!" there really is a deeper meaning to these books and I'm glad you're discussing it. Thank you!

That thumbnail is fire 😂.

I didn't know of a Stephen King novel called Desperation - so, thank you! I must read more Ketchum - so far I've only read his short story, The Box, which I enjoyed.

I see that Sporror (Spore Horror) is a growing sub-genre... I'll have to check it out.

So surprised this doesn’t have more views, great video! Audio is a bit quiet though :)

Regency romance is a bridge too far for me, however -- thanks to you I am reading a Wrath James White novel (The Resurrectionist) and I have the audiobook of Dead Inside. The Expanse series sounds intriguing.

I really like your vibe

Such a horrible case. Wonderful and respectful video though!
