I Bought a Collection of ULTRA RARE Teen Horror Books! (HUGE Book Haul)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- Today's video is a HUGE book unboxing featuring some of the rarest and most obscure vintage horror books I've ever found! I was able to order a whole collection of them on eBay for great prices. Most of these books are '90s middle grade books in the vein of Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. There are lots of Goosebumps knockoffs here like Spinetinglers, Graveyard School, Bone Chillers, etc, and other much rarer series. I had so much fun unboxing these books and I can't wait to do updated bookshelf tours showing off my newly expanded collection!
These Paperbacks from Hell will have a happy home in my private home library. Let me know if you creeps have read any of these books, and tell me what you thought in the comments. Come back for more retro horror book hauls, including Goosebumps hauls, YA horror hauls, and more! I am one happy book nerd!

Hi creeps! My name is Cameron Chaney. I'm a horror author (see links above for info on my books) and I am also the host of Library Macabre, a BookTube channel focusing on horror, both vintage and new, indie and mainstream. Don't care for horror? No worries! I feature other literary genres on my channel as well. I just love books! You might even see an occasional video about horror films. If it's spooky, I'm here for it. :-)

Loved the treasures you bought 😍😍😍 thank you for posting again, your videos are my “feel good playlist” spooky and cozy at the same time. Stay Spooky!
My very first superthanks ever! Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy them. Spooky and cozy is what I’m all about!
Believe it or not but Cameron's inner child took over in this video & thats the best thing about this video❤🎉
Every time you do one of these hauls I wonder how on earth do you find space for all these books! Awesome vid as per usual cameron! 😅
It’s a struggle but I do my best 😂
I was a little kid when Eerie Indiana aired and remember being so bummed when it was canceled. It was such a good show and should have lasted longer! My favorite episodes were some of the first ones: the ATM guy, the Halloween one where Simon's brother gets sucked into the TV, Foreverware, and the tornado episode to name a few. 😊
Side note - love your Peanuts shirt!
You really did score some gems! I don’t collect many goosebumps knock offs so I definitely learned a lot watching this video!
I absolutely adore and love the Sweet Valley foursome set - I remember reading those, gosh I must have been 11? it was before I started babysitting and thinking "WHAT WOULD I DO??"I haven't heard of about half of the books you mentioned/showed - some I remember seeing on my library spinner rack, but at the time I was all about Fear Street so I ignored the middle grade section almost completely.
Love the Spider's Child books - for the very longest time I thought I had made the series up because I originally saw the first book in K-mart, but didn't buy it and could not find anything about it at all anywhere. Then I randomly came upon them at a yard sale and ran off (after paying of course).
I'm glad you were reunited with the Spider's Child books! I'm excited to read them, and even more excited to read the Sweet Valley set. They look so creepy!
Hey Cameron. Fellow book lover, reader and collector here, keep up the great work, man. Hope you’re doing well. Love from Europe.
Thanks! You too!
YAY Library Macabre SEASON BEGINS! Great video, going to have to add a couple of these series to my list because they look like a hoot and a half!
Bonemeal and Vampires! we're childhood favorites of mine!
Hi Cameron, I love Eerie, Indiana too! And your haul is spectacular.
Thanks so much!
Nola Thacker, Suzanne Weyn, and Jahnna N Malcolm (pen name of a married couple) wrote many Baby-sitters Club books. Incidentally.
I love videos like this. It’s rare for me to find people online with similar book collections as me. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about these sort of books, but many of these were new to me. What a great haul!
I got Tales of the Gross and Gruesome from a school book fair in third grade. It’s a fun one.
Same here! Just when I feel like I know all there is to know (or at least know OF everything), then here comes a bunch of books I knew nothing about. It’s one of the joys of collecting!
These look so good! Love your videos ❤
I remember the Eerie, Indiana TV show but not in detail anymore. A "Gross and Gruesome" book used a Van Gogh self-portrait on the cover.
HE'S BACK! I love your videos. I've seen your bookshelf collection videos SO many times.
I’m back! I had a video last week too, in case it didn’t show up in your feed. :)
It showed up. Thanks for all the great videos, and boy am I excited for the future.
I'm flad Eerie, Indiana was sent in Norway when I was a kid. I never missed an episode. Liked the mix of fun and strange. ❤
Every time you do a haul video I sit here with thriftbooks open to add to my wishlist!
I should issue a warning for this at the beginning of my hauls 😂
Not sure if you ever heard of this series, but there's a middle grade horror trilogy called Camp Zombie. It's about a summer camp that has a lake with zombies in it or something. All I know is that the covers are actually pretty cool.
Only seen the 2nd book in person, back when I was a kid back in junior high. Never read the full thing, but I would like to read the series some day.
I watched the Eerie, Indiana show on Tubi. Such a great show! It makes me wish I grew up watching it.
I’m glad you discovered it! Such a cute show :)
I have a complete doomsday mall series I was lucky to grab the set on eBay.
SO lucky!!!!
@@LibraryMacabre I’m more into ya horror so may be downsizing my middle grade books to fill in the gaps of the rarer books I need. Although my middle grade books are just this series phantom valley and goosebumps haha
So glad to see you back on YT. I've been wanting to see some more book hauls and library updates!
More to come!
I loved Eerie Indiana! I was also an avid reader of the Goosebumps and Fear Street books.
You hit an amazing jackpot, Cameron! Love seeing you so excited about your finds. Keep it spooky Creep!
Yay, you're back. I'm currently reading Fear Street for Spooky Season. Love the peanuts shirt
I had a lot of those titles growing up. I remember coming home and cracking them open and getting lost in them. Great pick-ups. Thanks for sharing :) Happy reading.
I love the actual physical space of your library! Is there a video touring it/discussing how you set it up and where you bought the shelves, etc?
Indeed! It’s one of my most recent videos. I have a full library tour. :)
Awesome video! I’ve had spooksville 1-20 for over 2 years now. Haven’t had any luck with the last 4. They’re so rare it’s crazy! Hope you can find more. Love the covers and the first book was really good and the 2nd was pretty good too
This collection is amazing! I have been collection some Goosebumps from the thrift store here and there, I have books 1, 2, and 4 of the Eerie Indiana series that I guess my mom bought for me when they were new, and I recently found Mary Downing Hahn who I now love and am rapidly reading through all her books haha but seeing this video has made me aware of just how many cool teen/kids horror books are out there and I'm inspired to hunt for more!
Mary Downing Hahn is the best! I love her work. Wait Til Helen Comes is such an eerie read. 👻
@@LibraryMacabre so true! I really was worried about what Helen was going to do! haha I also really liked Deep and Dark and Dangerous😱
What an amazing haul of books. Glad to see you back also making a viedo. Can't wait to read your new book I start it tommorrow!!!!!!!
I hope you enjoy/enjoyed it!
Have you read any of the Halloween or Friday the 13th YA novels? I read the 3 halloweens by Kelly O Rourke over the summer, fun stuff!
Awesome haul 🤘
I may have seen a few of those obscure knockoff books at stores before; the Frightmare ones in particular come to mind. Had no idea they were rare, I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for some of those now.
Congrats on the Spinetinglers books, I've been trying to collect those as well, the later ones are super hard to find.
Killer Computer may just be the best GB knockoff book that I've read so far!!
such a fun haul! Those Don Whittington books look super fun. I totally forgot about Eerie Indiana! Oh dang! Nasty the snowman looks amazing.
Thank you!! I gotta read Nasty the Snowman this winter!
Very cool haul, lots of series I've never heard of but simultaneously feel like I saw long ago.
Wow I read House of Horrors as a kid and have been trying to remember what it was called for years and years. Nice.
Wonderful! I’m glad to help. 👻🎃
Hey Cam! Just received my copy of Autumncrow Fresh Hell today and started reading it, and so far I'm loving it. Definitely giving me all the nostalgic tween reading years vibes bc the scary books about dreams and creepy lovers from different time periods (Fear Street comes to mind) were my favs (along with historical witches and vampires). So yeah, super excited to have that!
Yes!! I’m glad you get it and are enjoying it. I tried to hit all those YA horror beats. :)
So many great books I’ve never seen! Great haul! 👻🎃
I got super lucky at a yearly used book sale and found a bunch of Christopher Pike novels for 50 cents each!
That’s wonderful!! Congratulations!
I just stumbled across your channel and so glad I did! Your library setup is MY DREAM!
Thank you for subscribing!! :D
Wow! Cool books! Respect from Russia! You are awesome!
Fantastic haul! I am jealous!
Awesome collection 🎃👍
Thank you!! 🙏
This video just showed up on my recomended page and I love it! Subscribed!
Thank you for subscribing! 😁😁😁
Glad to hear I'm not the only one that likes Betty Ren Wright. I've read them all more than once.
Here’s something funny the ad it shows during your video is a suspense novel called house of leaves . I mentioned cause that pretty close to the theme of your channel .
I’m glad the ads are showing some things that line up with my videos :)
Holy cow, that was a lot of books!! Tons of great covers in this haul. I love Bone Chillers! Finally ordered Frankenturkey the other day, I thought it would be a fun read for November
I’ve read Frankenturkey for a couple of Thanksgivings! It’s a cute one. I may reread Frankenturkey 2 this thanksgiving. :)
I never knew a lot of these books/series existed 😱
I started watching Eerie Indiana recently! I remember when it would come on TV but I never watched it then. Both of them are on Tubi
I loved Eerie Indiana as a kid! What books are you missing? I’ve got some I’m sure I could dig up. Love the content man, it really brings me back.
Thank you!! I’m missing books 7, 8, 13, and 16. :)
Wow! Wonderful!
SPOOKSVILLE!! I have that entire OG series !! 😊
Oh what a wonderful video 🫶🏻 this is such a treat 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 thank you for your wonderful hard work to bring us this gems 💎
Thank you for watching!! 😁
awesome haul !! love your bookcases too ! happy reading !!!
House of horrors seems interesting! I just added some eerie Indiana and goosebumps and are you afraid of the dark episodes on TH-cam!!
Great choices! I love those shows so much 😁
What Christopher pike books should i read first?
Hi Cam- I hope things are going well with you- I'm excited to read both the Autumncrows back to back soon. Fantastic haul!.
Thank you! Things are busy, but going very well. I hope you’re well too!
Yeah its definitely halloween season.
You have become part of my halloween build up.
P.S if i was to ever rule the world, i would abolish Christmas an make halloween the new Christmas time of year, an everyone has to put black tree in their homes decorated with halloween things, an Freddy krueger would be the new santa an kujo would become the new rudolph, kujo the blood stained dog an the gremlins will be elves.
Hey i can dream can't i🎃👻😱😱👽
🤣🤣🤣
Awesome work! The amount of middle-grade Goosebumps knock-offs is insane. Do you reckon there were more of them than YA horror? I've had to draw a line in my book collecting of vintage titles and middle-grade is it. I'll only pick them up in op shops, which is pretty rare these days.
Thank you! Good question. I think there were more middle grade series. Then again, I have about the same amount of teen horror as I do middle grade, but half of those YA books are by Stine.
Vampire Mom sounds amazing.
i have a few of those books you mention do you have the Scary Stories for When You're Home Alone those are rare too the second one is out print now.
Amazing!!!!
Hi cameron love from india
ohhhh we need your source! haha
Have u read the stepdaughter by Carol Ellis? I’m reading it rn and it’s SO GOOD
Not yet, but I want to! I own a copy. :)
I haven't read it, but I do have eerie Indiana: halloweird in my possession and since it's October might as well read it this month 😅
Gee, Cameron, spiders speak very highly of *you*...😉
😂😂😂
Litteraly all of those were cool as hell, let us know how “The Thing Upstairs” is!
Howl High and Nasty the Clown are by the same author I'd assume
That's right! :)
My bank account: "TH-cam, he doesn't need these books."
TH-cam: But he wants them... now.
Bank: Listen...
Ebay: To late.
😂😂😂
Love Eerie Indiana one of my favorite shows growing up & now I want to collect the books. What is your favorite episode?
My favorite episode is Broken Record. Pretty deep for a kids show!
I just impulse bought like 15 shivers books LMAO
The only way to buy Shivers books is by impulse 😂
@LibraryMacabre I think I found book 36 for $11 which is SHOCKING
Omg how many books did you get with spiders on the cover?? 😱🕷️
Too many! 😱😂
Hi I feel like u might know this ..I read a book when I was in like elementary or middle school.. I wana say it was a goosebumps book or by r.l stine.. the only thing I remember is that there was like a hill and kids skateboarded or biked down it and it was dangerous/deadly. It’s driving me crazy that I can’t remember what book it was or anything else about it. Someone help! Does this sound familiar to anyone?!?
Hmmmm… this actually does sound familiar to me. Do you remember what the cover looked like?
No I don’t. In my head I’m picturing a skeleton skating but that just might be made up in my head
Are all of your finds on Ebay? or do you have other online resources for books?
I get most of my books from used bookstores, but I order rarer books on eBay fairly often.
💜🎵💜

Fantastic haul! I am jealous!
