Lydia's Books of Terror

In this video I present 13 of the top picks in horror reading coming out this month. Quite a few would be great reads for fall or late summer too, so take notes; I know I am!Often, there is a trend or style that is popular, and sometimes it is apparent. This month, there are so many varied covers that are so well done, we have a really good variety of design. And story! There are shorts, novels, gothic, folk and a little gore; all the good stuff. As mentioned, I reviewed Nowhere Burning by Catriona Ward here:    • Nowhere Burning • A horror novel that read...  And the 2015 film Decay is amazing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_(...)✮ Mergers and Acquisitions ✮Monumental by Adam Nevillhttps://amzn.to/4sKW6vO Blood Trail by Matt Query and Harrison Queryhttps://amzn.to/4s5H1Vs Bodies of Work: A Novella by Clay McLeod Chapmanhttps://amzn.to/4uVQwsa Sarafina by Philip Fracassi, with an introduction by Nick Cutterhttps://amzn.to/414GdED The Boatman by Alex Grecianhttps://amzn.to/4bUqMno The Hive by Ronald Malfihttps://amzn.to/4seQZnS These Familiar Walls by C.

Here are six classic vintage horror books I'll always recommend, and will never ever part with.There are certain horror novels that never leave your mind. These ones are worn, familiar; stories you circle back to weekly in thought and conversation. They’re all vintage, all widely loved, and most of them have long since slipped into other forms and other mediums or inspired legions of writers to work these themes into their own work. What I think about is how startlingly modern they must have felt when they first appeared. These weren’t dusty relics when they were written like they are now! They were sharp, unsettling, and a little bit dangerous, and even now, they still have a way of lingering.We all strive to read books like this on the regular, don't we? This is what the goal of book hunting is. And then, some of of us wish we could write like this. These six books don't only thrill me as a reader, they are why I write... well, these and Stephen King books 🩶✮ Mergers and Acquisitions ✮Hell House by Richard MathesonThe Amityville Horror by Jay AnsonPsycho by Robert BlockRosemary's Baby by Ira LevinThe Stepford Wives by Ira LevinBlack Christmas by Thomas Altman#booktube #youtube #horrorbooks #horrortuber ✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ Books I wrote ▹ https://amzn.to/3k20OY6▹ Music by ænorex ▹ https://aenorex.com ▹ All socials ▹ https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever🩶As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases when you use Amazon links here.

This is a horror review of Nowhere Burning by Catriona Ward, focusing on how trauma shapes its characters and how the story feels more like a memory than a traditional narrative. This is a mainly psychological horror story that feels fragmented, links to something half-remembered that I could not find in the news...A good example of horror done well without explicit shock value; true terror and horror rooted in its core, channelled underground, and floating in the air.Catriona Ward is not only instant buy for me, but instant immersion. It helps that I love outdoors horror, and this takes place at an abandoned woodland sanctuary. Nowhere was a compound of sorts, where a very rich man did strange and dangerous things.This was another through-line for me; runaway kids. Specifically, kids running away to an abandoned place in the wilderness.Pick up a copy here: https://amzn.to/3PHdrHD✮ Mergers and Acquisitions ✮#booktube #youtube #horrorbooks #horrortuber Typical Books 383 - Nowhere Burning✮✮✮✮✮✮ ▹ Books I wrote ▹ https://amzn.to/3k20OY6▹ Music by ænorex ▹ https://aenorex.com ▹ All socials ▹ https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever🩶As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases when you use Amazon links here.

Richard Laymon wrote a lot of books, and I am sure I have read more than half of them. I have my favourites for sure, and choosing a top five is impossible so here is a Top Six... plus another one. Everyone has their darlings, and you'll not be surprised by a few usual suspects; Island, The Woods are Dark, and Cuts.These may be some people's less cherished picks too. There is no accounting for taste and for certain, tastes can change. Since I am embarking on this slow reread of my 'darlings' I thought we could take stock here and now of the top six and once I have read every Laymon on my shelf, come back and see if the lists still match. So far so good!Do you have a number one or top three Richard Laymon books? (and why is it Island?)

Over the winter I didn't get much reading done, but I sure did acquire a lot of books! Here is a quick roundup up what I read recently, and a longer chat about the horror books I now have in my library. We play a rousing game of whats-in-the-box and check out a coveted collection of papery periodicals. One highlight here is our trip to the Canadian War Museum. They have a massive artillery and vehicle collection, a piece of the Berlin Wall, a great exhibit on women in war and lo and behold, a book sale. ✮ Mergers and Acquisitions ✮Misery by Stephen KingThinner by Stephen KingA Town Called October by Steven VincentAll the Fiends of Hell by Adam NevillIncubi by Edward LeeSuccubi by Edward LeeY'all Aint Right edited by K.

Returning after a little break, much like the warmer temperatures here: we have thirteen amazing new books to talk about. From nouveau slashers to twists on old gothics, demonic taunts and terrors, and everything in between; this month also has one of the most unexpected colour combinations. There is a book here with a lilac and forest green cast combo. You have heard of teal and orange colour grading? I'd say this is much more interesting.Patreon bookworms have access to the print version of these Febraury selections, as ever you can find them on https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror too!Wilson by Jack FinnFebruary 1, 2026https://amzn.to/4t9I7AuCruelty Free: A Novel by Caroline GlennFebruary 3, 2026https://amzn.to/4kkJTLm The Bone Queen: A Novel by Will ShindlerFebruary 3, 2026https://amzn.to/3Mf6iNo The Glowing Hours by Leila SiddiquiFebruary 3, 2026https://amzn.to/4q9KYGYDead First by Johnny ComptonFebruary 10, 2026https://amzn.to/4bwj7x4Grace by A.M.

Happy December! The shortest day of the year where I live is fast approaching, as is the cold snow.There are 14 books that caught my eye - lucky 13 plus one more from November. I added in two thrillers and you'll also find quite a few story collections here. Two things I read more of in the winter months are short stories and oddball thrillers. Last winter I read some Riley Sager books and found them incredibly cozy. When I saw the vast amount of wintery thrillers I decided I wanted a few on the list. There are also not as many stand-alone horror books out in the winter for whatever reason. Maybe we use up all of our creative juices in the fall and harvest season and writers are all busy writing.

As mentioned previously, I have a great addition to my extreme horror collection, specifically for my Edward Lee shelf. If you want to hear about the convention, DreadCon, check the previous video DreadCon • An indie horror haul dream! for a load of indie author books! Edward Lee has been a huge inspiration to me as a writer and reader of horror. From the first time my mother and I stumbled upon the City Infernal series, or that time I special ordered 'Goon' while feeling homesick at college, or finding Gast at the local library, to last week (and every time) someone discovered his books on the ExtremeHorrorLit subreddit; my heart grows a little (blacker) each time. Now that he has announced his retirement from writing, I thought I'd take the plunge and pick up some hard to find and just out of my price range books - only because I was lucky enough to find them in my home province!Huge thank you to Fred for collecting and giving these books a 'fine' home. Reach out to me for Fred's Fine Editions contact information if you are looking for hard to find or excellent horror fare.Buy Fred's book here: https://subterraneanpress.com/the-wor...From the Deadite Press website: Edward Lee is the premier practitioner of splatterspunk and has written over fifty books. He is the author of such hardcore horror classics as The Bighead, The Pig and the House, Gast, and many more books to test your gag reflex.

This is the second annual DreadCon; and I am happy to support this since there is nothing like it near me. I wish there were more horror conventions in Canada!I took the train in to Burlington - I’d not been to Toronto for over ten years, and not downtown since I was a kid.

I sat in on Queer Horror, Canadian Horror, and the Dacre Stoker talk. I missed all the readings I wanted to attend though, so I have to plan better next year. I also picked up some great extreme horror from Fred’s Fine Editions which I will cover in my next video.    • Edward Lee • The Header books  https://www.dreadconcan.com/https://sjshank.com/The Canadian Horror panel:    • dReadcon Canadian Horror Panel     / @darkbites   ✮ Mergers and Acquisitions ✮15 books!

Here are 40 new horror books for September! Two of these I am reading this month, and even more I want to pick up. Too many great horror books are coming out this month; in preparation for autumn and spooky season I am sure. Once again, the list is sprawling - I shorten the list but there were just so many amazing authors putting work out right now. Also, a sneak peek of the new cover art for my vampire novel, Nightface. The sequel is coming soon!

Today I am talking about Stephen King, specifically the 'electrifying' book Revival. I share my thoughts about the book and make connections to my love for weather, other King books, and how many meanings 'revival' can have here. I hope you like this booktube video!Revival has been recommended to me online and off for years then sat on my shelf since finding this at a book sale. I love the themes so I feel foolish for not picking it up earlier. This is Stephen King at his best, and for a more modern choice it is refreshing that we can recommend a book that is not older than I am as a quintessential King.On that topic, Revival was his 53rd, and it is always amazing to me how his voice is unwavering, and while I did not see a nod to constant readers in a foreword, the whole book is fan service notes back-to-back. While I went into this knowing it was religious(ish), from the jacket copy, recommendations and the title, I was intrigued by the lightning angle on the cover. I had not known abut the Doctor Frankenstein inspirations throughout and was delighted by each incarnation of Jacobs as we follow his experiments and fascination with electricity. ✮ Mergers and Acquisitions ✮To come on the show: the latest by Eric LaRocca#booktube #youtube #horrorbooks #horrortuber #stephenking ✮✮✮✮✮✮ Nails by EZNails semi-cured gel wraps - not sponsored but I have a referral code 🩶 https://eznails.ca?kb_ref=65a1ced449134▹ See if there are books in the Shoppe https://typicalbooks.com/shoppe/▹ Bookworm Central on Patreon ▹   / typicalbooks  ▹ Bookworm merch is here! ▹ https://shop.typicalbooks.com/ ▹ All socials ▹ https://linktr.ee/LydiaPeever▹ Books I wrote ▹ https://amzn.to/3k20OY6▹ A list of horror books out each month ▹ https://typicalbooks.com/newhorror▹ Music by ænorex ▹ https://aenorex.com As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases when you use Amazon links here.

July was a fairly busy reading month and I head into August with a few half-read books, so more on that soon, I want to wrap them all up in this first week so I can get to this readathon! As noted in the poll posted earlier, All-In-August will be all Stephen King. I'm reading, in order:RevivalFairy TaleThe Girl Who Loved Tom GordonFor more on Stephen King: https://amzn.to/47kkNYg and https://stephenking.com/Also, my thoughts on recent reads: Full Brutal by Kristopher Triana, Toadhead by Andrew Lyall, Tales told around a Strange Fire by Bud Templin, Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward, and The Knave of Graves by S. J. Shank. Some books to come: No One Rides for Free by Judith Sonnet, How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix (maybe, eventually, it was on sale). I have a feeling I may get them all read this month but promised myself I'd put a book down if it was proving to be a chore. Since that represents all of the SK books I have here that I have not read, I may dip in to Sleeping Beauties if I do run out of King to read - since that is two King's in one!Roya's launch video:    • All-In August Readathon & My Stephen King ...  ✮ Mergers and Acquisitions ✮#booktube #youtube #horrorbooks #horrortuber #allinaugust✮✮✮✮✮✮ Nails by EZNails - they are semi-cured wraps I simply adore.
