Haunted by James Herbert was a perfect read for me. Practiced pacing, ghoulish thoughts, and a remarkable landscape peopled by fascinating characters. It is a Typical Book.

Also, I will be swapping out Shadows and Tall Trees 8 for Red by Jack Ketchum in my reading list. I'll read the anthology later as I am really enjoying it but for a book that had Red on the cover? I can't not!

Opinion at Halfway Through the Hall
Today on Typical Books with Lydia we have a progress vlog on House of Leaves. It has been 20 years since this book was published, so better late than never I suppose.
Not much to say except that I love the story of the Navidson Record, and not so much the 'other' story contained in the footnotes. Judging from the response here and on Instagram - where I posted a short vlog and portion of this - I am not alone.
Suggest a book! I like violent and visceral horror.

It has been a good year for horror, and while 2024 promises to be better, how will I get to it all while reading less books? To end 2023 I talk about social media and how I've been slowly ditching a lot of it, and podcasts. Between the fun that is making a horror film podcast on Dead Air, and this show which is a podcast itself (an award winning one at that), I listen to A Lot of podcasts. I also talk a little about stress and how I refuse to let it in the door... and kind of always have.
As well, what I am reading of late and what you think I ought to read! Have a great end to 2023 and may the start of 2024 find you curled up with a good book!
Thank you for watching and have an ooky spooky day!

I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.
✮ Thank you! ✮
