I read _Danse Macabre_ in the early '80s and I remember he mentions that very book you're holding up at 14:31, _I Am Legend_ by Richard Matheson. He said he loved the book and added, "I envy you your first read."
I was at that same book store around a year ago. It was packed full of people and the aisles were all ripped apart. I couldn’t find anything I was so disappointed because they were having a big sale. It’s about an hour away from me, too. This video makes me want to go back!
All those Richard Laymon books-I read one and was like ummm 👀 😂😂 I still would like to give him a shot-you should totally do a Richard Laymon reading vlog.
just found your channel, and i started to read horror this year and i'm LOVINGGG, so i don't know a lot of books, and your recs are amazing... "this is about a cult that kills kids? LOVED" - this is me 100%
LOL I've done the same thing with Laymon. I have yet to read one but I own about 6 of his books 😂 Also, I pray and hope that you love I Am Legend, I love it so so much!!! OMMGG please read No Exit ASAP, it's so so good!
It would be definitely worth the drive once every few months to have that choice. We have Powell City of Books here in Portlanc Or. It’s new and used and a full city block big. They provide a map to find your way around!
Lol. The reason you are buying so many books is the same reason that I do. We need them. Lol. You’re working on your home library and there is nothing wrong with that. you go girl. And I am totally with you as far as not liking people. 😆😆😆 especially men in bookstores. It feels stalker-ish.
So agree! I have a huge amount of books around and many I have never read. When the whole lockdown thing came on and they closed all the libraries and many were short on money for extras, I was like No problem, I have all kinds of reading material!
oh my god. we don't have any book superstores like that here in Germany, especially not any with such a horror section like that. but if we had, I would be broke after being in there :)
I love the Preston and Child books , I have 1st edition hardcovers of all of them. The Agent Pendergast series in Particular should be read in publication order. The series have characters who come and go through out the series, Relic is book 1 in the series. I hope you enjoy them when you get to them.
I love the Used Book Superstore! I go to that location all the time, they do have another one (I can't remember where it is) but I prefer the Burlington location. I'm sorry you didn't have the best experience though. Unfortunately, they lump the horror with the fantasy and on the other side of the aisle is the scifi, so that section can get pretty busy. Hopefully if you ever decide to visit again you don't bump into any weird dudes.
Great haul! I think the authors Some of my most read authors, aside from King, are Preston and Child. I've read pretty much everything they've written, either together or separate. Definitely read Relic and all the other Pendergast books in order! Relic is one of my all-time favorites! I'd love to know how you like the Laymon books once you get to them - I don't think I've read anything from him. Thanks for sharing your trip and haul! 🎃
8:20 That's the very edition of _The Stand_ that I read way back in the early '80s! The one with the Dark Man's face on the cover. It was the original shorter version before he restored the missing 400 pages. It was 800+ pages, the biggest book I'd ever read at the time, and still is. I've always wondered, how many pages was it, exactly? I remember somewhere over 800 but I can't remember was it about 830 or closer to 850 . . . ? Could you open it up to the last page of story, before the ads for his other books, and tell me exactly how many pages that book is? Thanks.
No Exit is Insanely good!! I just googled this bookstore, I didn't know about it and I am going, so 😁 excited. How were the prices? It's about 1&1/2 hrs from me but sounds awesome! Thanks so much for this haul!!!
The talisman is my favourite book of all time. Like god tier, number one spot. Is really good and you must prepare for a ride. It actually has a sequel " The black house" if I'm correct, but can also be a wonderful stand alone book. I really wanna know your thoughts on it. Also hi! I'm new here and I'm really loving your videos! Have a great week ✨✨✨
wolf is one of the best characters from king's work, as is the blind dj in black house. the ending of black house is super creepy. both star jack sawyer, talisman he's a kid, black house he's a grown man.
Still on the hunt for a hardcover Salem’s Lot! I do have a few versions of the paperback. That would be very kind of you, but please don’t feel like you have to do that!!
danse macabre is a non fiction book made up of king's lectures he gave at a university about the horror genre. some interesting stuff, but i never actually finished it. only 1 of his i didn't finish. and rose madder is super underrated. love that novel.
@@mandysmorgueofhorror i should try again. it was interesting, hearing him talk about the four horror stories we love telling over and over again: the man with the hook for a hand, frankenstein, dracula, and jekyll and hyde.
four past midnight is another 4 novella collection by king. it is easily my favorite king collection it has a little bit of everything. not sure if you will like laymon or not... i love his books but they are definitely dated and not for everybody
The Talisman is one of the few King books that I didn't like. I've read almost all of Laymon's books and most are a blast. His books are similar to Bentley Littles.
The edition of Pet Sematary I'm reading right now has an intro by King from 2000. He talks about Dance Macabre. I'm not sure but I think its a book about writing. Also, how can you sleep with that Good Guy doll in your house. I'm pretty sure it moved behind you while you were shooting this vlog.
I don’t care who is looking at horror books in a store at the same time as me, man, woman, non gender whatever. I just want them all to ….. off so I can browse in peace.
bro oh my God how dare that man exists in your presence all men do is take up space right how dare they let men in this bookstore right and how dare he talk to you that's harassment he should go to prison for life right yay misandry.
@@mandysmorgueofhorror it didn't seem like you're kidding at all and maybe you just assumed he was being condescending maybe he just wanted to make conversation and you automatically assume the worst from people and you also made a comment about other men in the store. I can tell you're a horrible human being. no need to respond because I don't care what you say your bigoted and you're sexist.
🤘🤘🤘🤘great reads here.
You rock Mandy 🤘 killer book haul.
Hahahah the rant on the guy was so relatable

I could easily spend all day in any book store as long as they have lots of horror choices lol
Love that bookstore !📚 😍
I just discovered it!

I realized he was an extreme horror author after doing this video. I think a reading vlog of his books would be interesting 😂
Amazing book haul . Hope you would make another book haul video .
I wish I had a used bookstore near me other than Half Priced Books, which stinks. I can't wait for you to read No Exit. I loved it!
I am so excited to read No Exit! I wish I had a half priced books near me!
Loved the video and all of your picks! I’m so so jealous of that used bookshop, their King/ horror section is like nothing in the UK 😭
You might have luck finding King books online!
just found your channel, and i started to read horror this year and i'm LOVINGGG, so i don't know a lot of books, and your recs are amazing... "this is about a cult that kills kids? LOVED" - this is me 100%
Ah yay! So glad you have found horror and are enjoying my recs.

Haha I am glad I’m not the only one who does that. His books were just calling my name. I plan on reading No Exit during winter!
It would be definitely worth the drive once every few months to have that choice. We have Powell City of Books here in Portlanc Or. It’s new and used and a full city block big. They provide a map to find your way around!
Ahhh that sounds amazing!
I’ve lost an entire day in that place. It’s like a cathedral to the written word.
Good haul and killer silver shamrock beanie!

@@MsBluheart lol. Exactly right. Nothing at all wrong with being a book hoarder. 😃
Yes, exactly! I’m building my library!
@@justdon6288 same with hubby 😆
Believe it or not some of us aren't stalkers except for a desire to chase down books. 🎃
What a great haul! I also found superstitious by R.L. Stine the other day, can't wait to see how it compares to Fear Street! New Sub :)
Welcome! Ahh I am so excited to read it. It sounds good!
oh my god. we don't have any book superstores like that here in Germany, especially not any with such a horror section like that. but if we had, I would be broke after being in there :)
It’s a gift and a curse haha
Richard laymon is the best ever!! Nothing like him!
I just added Burn Town to my TBR. I have read almost all of her books but that is one I didn't know about until recently.
I love the Preston and Child books , I have 1st edition hardcovers of all of them. The Agent Pendergast series in Particular should be read in publication order. The series have characters who come and go through out the series, Relic is book 1 in the series. I hope you enjoy them when you get to them.
It’s good to know Relic is book 1. I had no idea it was a series!
This was fun to watch! You got many goods😍
Too many 😂
I found this book haul very relatable.. I too hate people 😂❤
lol…I get very anxious when there are a lot of people around, so I really think that’s a huge part of it 😅
@@mandysmorgueofhorror I feel your pain. I also get anxious being around crowds of people… plus they irate me sometimes 😂🫶🏻
Good haul. I’ve never read Richard Laymon but I know I see /hear about Endless Night all the time.
I think it’s pretty intense 😧
Endless night is great so is one rainy night
I just read No Exit last year. It was my favorite book of the year. I couldn't put it down. Enjoy!
Even bad Richard Laymon is good!
RL Stine has a second adult novel too called Red Rain
I love the Used Book Superstore! I go to that location all the time, they do have another one (I can't remember where it is) but I prefer the Burlington location.

I actually visited again recently and had a better experience. It def gets busy though!

I hope to get to Relic soon! I’ve always heard great things about them. I think Laymon is a little extreme, so I’m a bit nervous 😂
@@mandysmorgueofhorror 😂
I suggest reading both The Talisman,( The First Stephen King book I ever read) and Superstitious. Love the videos, keep them up!
Thanks for the suggestion, and thank you for watching!!
I would need a cart.
Oooooooo I love Richard laymon!!!!! Like king on steroids

Haha I do the same thing you did...I collect a bunch of books by an author I've never read 🤣 hope some are new favorites for you.
I am so glad I’m not the only one! 😂
@@mandysmorgueofhorror i already own 2 ruth ware books, yet i've never read her stuff.
hope she's good!
Who wrote “the believers”, I need to find that! It kinda went by too fast to see
Sorry to be a bother but your hat is way cool! 🎃
No Exit is Insanely good!! I just googled this bookstore, I didn't know about it and I am going, so 😁 excited. How were the prices? It's about 1&1/2 hrs from me but sounds awesome! Thanks so much for this haul!!!
Ah yay! I hope you find some good stuff. The prices were pretty reasonable.
endless night i would definitely classify as EXTREME horror lmao
I realized shortly after filming and buying all of these books that Laymon is an extreme horror author haha. It should be interesting to read…
Was The Return from the movie that was out a couple years ago?
The talisman is my favourite book of all time. Like god tier, number one spot. Is really good and you must prepare for a ride.

That’s so good to hear! I also found The Black House months ago, so I def want to check them both out!
Have you found salems lot yet? I often see it at my local thrift store maybe I can get it for you if I see another one if you still don’t have it
Still on the hunt for a hardcover Salem’s Lot! I do have a few versions of the paperback. That would be very kind of you, but please don’t feel like you have to do that!!

Do you have a extra copy of the X of the exit
The Talisman is one of the few King books that I didn't like. I've read almost all of Laymon's books and most are a blast. His books are similar to Bentley Littles.
Laymon sounds intense. I’m looking forward to finally checking him out. I also still need to read Bentley Little.
halloween 3 season of the witch
I wish be there
Danse Macabre is excellent. It's nonfiction; Stephen King talking about horror movies and books that influenced him.
I am so excited to read it. I loved his book on writing, so I am sure I will love this one too.
I'd love to see what you'd be like if, like most of us, no one paid any attention to you
Ahhh, where did you get the HH3 season of the witch beanie??? 🎃
I got it at a con years ago, but I think you can find one on Etsy!
The edition of Pet Sematary I'm reading right now has an intro by King from 2000. He talks about Dance Macabre. I'm not sure but I think its a book about writing.

I was nervous about him being in my house for the first few days, but now it’s kinda comforting haha
Guard doll
Bro I woulda SPED OUTTA There, BURNT Rubber style!
people are weird
You might have guessed it from the blurbs, but Laymon’s books are pretty creepy, and not in a good way 😂
I did some research on him after and learned he’s an extreme horror writer, so it should be an interesting reading experience 😂
@@mandysmorgueofhorror yeah interesting is the right word. He can be a lot of fun. But yeah…
I’d love to send you my uk paperback copy of Salem’s lot if you like? :)

Why are men like that? I was looking at records at goodwill and this old man came up to me and asked me if I even had a record player? Like dude?
