[JoanieMaeZie]

Last Days sounds so good!! I totally agree about The Girl Next Door and Ketchum's writing.

Hey Alex, you just keep getting better and better at this reviewing thing. It's always good for me when you review a few books because it gives me more books to look into. You've become such a beautiful ray of sunshine into my life, and I look forward to your videos every week. You've become my go-to reviewer. I hope you have a great week and thank you for helping me find the best books.

[ReginasHauntedLibrary]

Last Days sounds right up my alley! I always discover great books on your channel. If only I had time to read them all...alas....

I read Harvest Home many years ago and that story has stayed with me. I loved it. It was a 5 star for me.

[ThatsWhatSheRead]

Yes Harvest Home is one of my favorites!! I'm glad you enjoyed some stories in Darkest Hours. Hair is so gross and great!

[JamieReads]

I'm always interested in all of your reviews! Yes!!

[HarpiesintheTrees]

Last Days = my tbr! 🖤Thank you. "The dead coming back to life sounded like a good time." Hehhe yas! 😂

[robertopastore]

I think I need to read some Bernard Taylor! I've had my eye on his books for a while. Same with Harvest Home! I loved The Other by Tryon, that was a 5 star read for me...also the film is pretty good, but doesn't really capture the atmosphere? Love this wrap-up, thanks!!

Hi Alex! I was so excited to see that you had posted a new video! I haven't read any of the books that you showed in this video; however, I did try and read The Girl Next Door, but wasn't able to get through it. I think I mentioned that in another video. Anyway, I'm very interested in reading Harvest Home. Back in the 1970s they came out with a made for TV movie based on this book, and it was entitled " The Dark Secret of Harvest Home" starring Bette Davis as Widow Fortune....from what I can remember it was pretty good...definitely creepy, but I still want to read the book. I also want to read The Red Tree and House of Leaves. I SO ENJOY reading books that have spooky and creepy mansions as the backdrop or setting....definitely my cuppa tea. I just read a really creepy book of that particular type entitled 666 by Jay Anson. It was a creepy slow burn, with a fantastic it was a quick read, which I appreciated. I'm currently reading The House by Bentley Little. Never read anything by him, so we'll see how it goes. Take care! 😊

I hate it when books have alien stuff in it and I'm not expecting it! I really want to read Darkest Hours by Mike Thorn, I'm glad it has some good stories in it :) Seems like you had a pretty good reading month!

Another great video, Alex. I just did a TBR video in two parts but now I may have to add Last Days to the list.

[Nicathatsme]

I was eager to find out if you liked Harvest Home! I’d been searching for a copy of his book, The Other, when I found a beat up copy of Harvest Home in the thrift store. I’m looking forward to reading it this fall. I love a slow burn

[TheBookWasBetterSara]

The Other is one of my favourite books! You should definitely read that soon.

[jessecaballero]

Another great video. You should do a separate review for the girl next door that one sounds very interesting

[michaelbooker]

The Girl Next Door is one of the most disturbing books I've ever read. You should definitely do a review video for it. I've had Silk by Caitlin Keirnan for so long but I still have yet to read it.

[creepyquills]

I have read, "The Ritual, " by Adam Neville and have, "Last Days, " on my shelf! I remember him being great at atmospheric horror in, "The Ritual." I didn't even realize I had watched the movie on Netflix so I accidently watched the movie before reading the book. lol

[DaisyXMachina]

Spine Breakers sent me over. Glad to have found you!

[grimreads]

Do a seperate review for the Girl Next Door. The more reviews this book has, the better. I should go and look for Last Days, it sounds really cool.

[typicalbooks]

A review of The Girl Next Door would be grand! Have you watched the film? Also, I loved your image of the cover on Instagram! That cover weirds me out on a couple levels!

[lalalandtoysandbooks]

The larger my YA 90s collection grows the more I find myself disappointed in the R.L. Stine books but I'm still hopeful
