The fact Jimmy can hold a book up for 15 minutes using a couple of fingers was a feat all in itself.

I absolutely loved The Terror. It’s a big one but Simmons keeps the pages turning. I thought it similar to a Stephen King story, showing the evil of men with a frightening “monster” also in the midst. Just great. To think it was based on a true story is even scarier

Just want to say thanks for introducing me to Grady Hendrix, just finished My Best Friends Exorcism and absolutely loved it! Definitely gonna check these books out too

Yo bro you helped me get started to the whole dark universe book series. Keep it up man

[pritch]

The Terror is my favourite Dan Simmons novel, it took me a few weeks to get through (also recommend the tv series) It's also based on true events (the franklin expedition) and I think 90% of the characters in the book are real. the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus were real ships looking for new passage. You should take a look it's really interesting.

Good video! I have the terror on my shelf but haven't gotten to it yet. Just wrapping up Dune now and then finishing Salem's Lot!

I just found the channel man I'm loving the content! keep it up! I believe I first started when you were doing a breakdown of good horror novels to read and haven't stopped since I know they're not on par with Stephen King but Would you ever do a goosebumps Video?

Both the Erebus and the Terror have recently been found under the ice at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. I love Simmons book and I think it's pretty cool that both of the ships are still down there, fairly intact.

I just read The Sun Down Motel also. Really liked it. I want to check out the author’s other books too now. I also read The Final Girl Support Group after watching your review on it. Loved it! Probably my favorite book so far this year.

Your hardback covers look great and well protected. What covers do you use on them? I'd love to do something similar to mine that I plan on keeping forever. Thanks 👍

Crazy stuff. I just finished the audiobook to this the other day. (The Terror)
I enjoyed it. I thought it was a slog at times but very good story.
I had asked for a early navigation book in my historical fiction group and I wasn’t really expecting a supernatural element in it. And with its dominant presence in the book it threw me off because it wasn’t what I was expecting going in to it. I really enjoy the topics of cannibalism though. So tense

[PepsiPepe]

Also just finished The Devil and The Dark Water by Stuart Tutton nice mystery novel on a boat. (I like boat books if you can’t tell)

[TheHumbleRoots]

Great video. Glad to see you review The Terror. Any chance you have a discord?

I absolutely loved the Odd Thomas series when I was younger, but struggled going back to it recently. Still worth sticking with, though I would say Odd Hours was my least favourite

[arjunpathak]

A simpler horror book I read when I was younger was 'The Hive' by Kenneth Opell, I don't remember if it was really good but I remember I enjoyed it. Just a suggestion I think instead of holding the book up you could just place it on the shelf behind you to display it :)
