Top Ten 2023 Books • 30 Horror Books Ranked!

Did you read a lot this past year? Or, like me, somewhere around a book every week or two? Did you read a book a month? Twelve books a year is the honest average and the healthy challenge ~ so many of us here on booktube read so much that some even dip into triple digits. It is all well and good, especially when you get the fun of ranking them to ferret out the top ten!

While my goal is still around 30 books, I do hope to read more. Is that perverse? After admitting a book a month is the healthy pace? When I look at how quick I can devour a book I am enjoying, I could easily read a book every three days... but there is more to life than great horror novels. There is meeting great horror authors! I had the pleasure of having met a few of the authors in my top ten ,so come along and see who they might have been!

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! ✮

It’s so hard picking top ten favorites. You did well! Grey Noise was in my top ten! 🩶
Happy reading in 2024! 🖤🖤🖤

That's awesome I had a bad year I only read six books I normally read at least one book a month..

[CliffsDarkGems]

This is such an interesting way to pick a top ten. Cull the herd! I am reading Playground this month, we shall see. I also had a hard time picking a top ten last year. Exquisite Corpse is on my radar. Thanks for the recommendations and happy 2024! 🖤

I read around 40 books this year, which was a bit less than usual. I enjoyed Dead of Winter and Exquisite Corpse. I will check out the Keene book and Tim McGregor. Awesome video!

Thank you so much for reading Grey Noise! 🙏 It was a good reading year for me too, though I didn't read any of the ones you have here. But Bad Blood I definitely plan to this year.

You did have a good reading year. I'm sure it was painful picking the top 10 and the top 3!

Great list! Makes me want to move Starling House up on my list. Love EQ so much.

[christirandazzo]

Love this. Great job getting all of this together. I still need to read exquisite corpse. I think I’m the only person left alive that has not read this one.

[Michael_Wertenberg]

Great video! I love the visual style you bring to your videos. I was rooting for Exquisite Corpse😃Yay!😁

[CriminOllyBlog]

Love the way you present these videos. I really need to try Tim McGregor

Great list and that's pretty cool that you met Darcy Coats and she handed you that copy of the book.

[TheGlamourGhoul]

I really like how you structured this video!

[TNCOMEDY]

which of those books would you love to see a movie of?

[grimreads]

The Woods are Dark is a very weak Laymon novel to me.
The Bat is probably the weakest of Nesbo's novels. Get to Redbreast and prepare for a ride. I have a video about the entire series I should edit at some point. I should read The Night House when it comes out over here.
Very sad about the Hobbit.
I must read some Keene soon.
