I don't see anyone else mentioning it but Darcy Coates is the QUEEN of cozy horror. I adore the gravekeeper series, it's like reading an episode of Scooby Doo.

[Octobig]

what a great list! 👻 t. kingfisher is also one of those authors whose work often has a quirky / cozy vibe to me, whether it's horror or fantasy.

Middle grade horror is my go-to for when I need something cozy but creepy. Recently enjoyed Katherine Arden's Small Spaces series and the Lockwood & Co. series. I also like going back and rereading authors from childhood like Lois Duncan.

I feel Something Wicked this Way Comes makes a cozy autumn read

[ThePerksOfBooks]

You've got to read Darcy Coates! I discovered her a year ago and all of her books fit the cozy horror vibe :)

[jessileemiller]

Thank you for this! I always feel like I want more cozy stories but don't feel right if I'm not reading or listening to something a bit scary or disturbing..

[nevskislake]

I still need to read Cindy Winget's books. I love a good mashup.
When I need to read something cozy, I look to Point Horror, Fear Street, or other horror YA series from the 80's or 90's. I like that they are, for the most part, just a trope-tastic, fun time. Most of them deliver on their premise: a slasher is a slasher, a creature feature is a creature feature, a ghost story is a ghost story and not a "humans moving around furniture and making noises" story. They also make me feel nostalgic.
Thank you for this video, Rachel.

Thank you for this video! I love spooky but the older I get, the more I just want a cute cozy spooky mystery or horror. I cannot do gore at all which is sad because most of my fav booktubers love gore or at least don’t mind it

[JasonsWeirdReads]

Fantastic idea! I haven’t heard of cozy horror until about a year or two ago, and i was like, “what the heck is cozy horror?” I’ve gotten a gotten a good idea of what it is since. Great choices here. 👻

Coraline and Afterlife with Archie are both top-notch.

[kaelinreads]

You're not alone. I read so many Archies when I was growing up! I loved going to the grocery store and seeing a new one there! They were awesome. I wish I had kept my collection. 😊❤

Ahh so good! Shirley comments were spot on.

[justynaaleksandra]

I love your videos. I'm reducing the amount of tine I spend on YouTube and yours is the one of the two only channels I watch. Thank you

"Something Wicked This Way Comes" is one of my favorite cozy autumn reads. Bust out the apple cider and sit by the fire with my dog. It's go time!

[teslagoth]

Great for the super freezing temperatures we are about to have ❤❄️
The Graveyard Book is cosy and the graphic novel is amazing

[SFF]

With full awareness that he is Bad Racist Man, I still find pretty much anything by Lovecraft to be reliable comfort horror. His prose, which a lot of people can't stand, is to me unfailingly immersive, drawing the reader in to his New England locations and the madness of his protagonists. At the Mountains of Madness never gets old.

[barbaratweten]

I read Darcy Coates and Jennifer McMahon. Chuck Wendig is another calmer kind of horror. The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Strauss is one I read when I'm feeling down. Love your channel! Greats recs!

[CliffsDarkGems]

Thank you Rachel, I need more of these kind of books for when things get too dark. I usually just use fantasy and adventure palette cleansers between all the horror stuff. This is very helpful, thank you! Who knew that a Paperbacks From Hell could be a cozy read. I love Neil Gaiman and plan to focus more on the author this year. I have a Clive Barker YA graphic novel to read this month which fits the bill. I will be giving The Haunting of Hill House a re-read from a different angle, as I was disappointed the first time around, Horror mashup-ups are a great idea.

[cindywingetbooks]

Several of these are on my tbr. I never read Archie. It was a little before my time and nobody in my family read comics. Thanks for showcasing my books 😃 i am glad you enjoyed them.

[jessicamou]

The caretaker of the Lorne field sounds interesting ❤ TBR keeps growing longer everyday 😂
