I find it kinda funny that there’s so many books called “the haunting of ___ house”.

This was a fun video. Thank you for sharing your haunted house book list.

How to Sell A Haunted House gave me Goosebumps vibes and I enjoyed it for that but it was a let down compared to say, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Vampire Slaying.

The Haunting of Hill House is a story of a woman and her depression being manifested thru poltergeist's and you literally have explanation for 'almost'(by 'almost' I think there is a little bit of fiction added in there) every happening you just have to think about it a little bit, and that is the problem with this story because everybody's favorite book from Shirley Jackson is 'We have always lived in the castle' because is digestible but I think Haunting is better just because it's more satisfying when you connect the dots you're self or read somebodies essay on it to make you're reading more interesting 😄

Awww, the Turn of the Screw was one of my favorite books. We All Lived in the Castle, The Woman in Black, and the Yellow Wallpaper were all so chilling to me. Haunting, but not in the extremity gore way, but in the atmospheric sense. Like when you're walking in a familiar room, but it's different somehow. Changed. Like the shadows seem out of place, but you can't figure out what's different, or why. Or maybe the room was always that way, and there's something wrong with you. Or in the case of the Yellow Wallpaper, the possibility of being gaslit by the one you're supposed to love and trust the most, and never knowing if it's them, or you. Sure, it's not extreme horror like the ones reviewed on this channel (which are now all on my reading list, lol) but there's a quaint place in my heart for those ghostly classics.

that flannel tho

What? The Turn of the Screw is a masterpiece of haunting fiction! Those sentences are part of the reason for its brilliance!

House of Leaves is the weirdest haunted house story ever written and is worth your time just to see what it’s all about. A real experiment in what that type of story can be. Not for everyone, and you might hate it, but check it out.

Dope shirt!

I just recently discovered your channel. I like how even though you’re more horror focused from what I can tell, I can see several books on your shelves from other genres and authors that I love. I find many booktubers stick to just whatever their niche is.
Loved what I’ve seen so far.

Totally agree about How to Sell a Haunted House!
Dolls are my least favorite horror story trope and definitely enjoyed the complicated family dynamics more than the horror

The Good House by Tananarive Due is an absolute gem 🤓💕

My favorite Haunted House story is a novella length story by Oliver Onions called "The Beckoning Fair One", written near the turn of the 19th century but so atmospheric and creepy. His new apartment starts to exert a power over him, and creepy stuff follows.

Kind of a new sub and dig the content you are laying down.  Keep up the great work. If I have to say a book that, to me, was so unsettling was Mark Danielewski's book - House of Leaves.  Not just the story itself but the context by which the story is conveyed.  The set up is simple enough. But once you get into what exactly is wrong with the house, it is just unnerving. I always recommend it to anyone looking for new horror in a unique format.

I loved Ghost Story as a teen and I made that clear in my video on favorite horror novels. The fact that I remember nothing about the novel  is interesting in that I might see Peter Straub in a very different light if I try to re-read him today. So glad in not being alone feeling underwhelmed about The Haunting of Hill House. I love Joe Hill but I would recommend NOS4A2, such a menacing tale. The Shining 😀 awesome! Thanks for the Darcy Coates recommendations, you have given me a good starting point.

Earlier and better than James was Poe. Th Fall of the House of Usher, for example. The Haunting of Hll House has probably the best opening paragraph of all horror stories.

You: “Hello creeps”
Me: “I’m home.”

Firstly I wanted to say thank you for this video, I've only recently discovered your channel and I've now added a whole lot of books to my current TBR. Secondly I'm so glad to have found your channel, it's really nice to see a booktuber that has very similar reading interests to mine (and not one just stuck on romance novels, which I personally can't stand). I would highly recommend any of C J Tudor's books if you haven't already read any of her things, she's my current favourite horror/thriller author and all of her books are amazing!

It's actually wild how many cinematic takes there's been on The Turn of the Screw.

Im not sure if this is really a haunted house story, but i think House of leaves is just awesome. Its one of those books that just lingers in your head. Maybe its just me, but i find myself thinking about it once every couple of weeks. Its more like a puzzle than a book really. Not for everyone, but definitely unique.
