A sorceress comes to call is AMAZING, definitely gets more unhinged towards the ending so u could say it’s gothic horror. It had everything, mommy issues, great female characters, witty dialogues, and intensity.
Truly check the trigger warnings for Fledgling, a lot of people go into it thinking they can handle it but it’s one of the few of Octavia’s I’m happy I read the trigger warnings beforehand.
I feel you, interview with the vampire has reignited my love for vampires especially the gay ones obviously. Just finished reading carmilla and it's sooooo good, hope you love it
PLEASE GOD LET US HAVE MORE INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE CONTENT. I started the show after you mentioned it in a previous video and now I have a hyperfixation so honestly I think you owe me 😅💖
Omg I'm Irainian and I think in a couple of a videos you've mentioned persian books which doesn't happen often in booktube and it warmed my heart. Love you so much
I read Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire series when I was a teenager and it made me fall in love with vampires and Louisiana. A good series, though it's been a long while so I may need to do a re-read. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the vampire books on your TBR.
It was indeed called a dasboard (dash for short), and i remember when mine was full of the webseries Carmilla adaptation (which was very gay). I read Carmilla twice since then and I love it.
ANXIOUS PEOPLE IS SO UNDERRATED!! oh my god that book took me through the RINGER when i read it for the first time. i'm being 100% serious when i say the MINUTE i finished it i was online ordering a physical copy because i just needed to have that book within arms reach
6:27 Carmilla!!!! I just finished reading this a week ago, and it was a FANTASTIC read. Very short and succint, all the gothic vampy goodness, and a fun read. Excited to hear your thoughts!! ❤
I highly recommend the Lore & Lust series by Karla Nikole, one of my favorite vampire series and also queer. I also really enjoyed the Vicki Nelson/Blood series by Tanya Huff (I love the TV adaptation Blood Ties, and Henry Fitzroy is one of my favorite vampire characters ever.)
“They Used to Live Here” is a book that genuinely creeped me out. I’m a huge horror media fan so I don’t really get scared super easily anymore but that book definitely left me feeling uneasy
The author of This Ravenous Fate said that if you liked Vi and Caitlyn from the series Arcane u will love this book because it has the same vibes as them and since Arcane is MY FAVORITE SHOW and I love caitvi so much, I too, am so excited to read the book. p.s. love you Hannah💕💕
So excited for your vampire rec video! I’ve been in a phase where I want to read nothing but iwtv fanfic on ao3. Am I upset about this? No. Do I fear for my mental health? Absolutely. I have no regrets.
I’m also OBSESSED with the IWTV tv show. I watched it a few weeks ago and can’t stop thinking about it. I’m currently reading the vampire lestat too, and I’m only 100 pgs in but I’m loving it. I think I’ll prob end up liking it more than the first book
The Sword of Kaigen was sooooooooooooo good, it completely destroyed my soul!!! I read that book 2 years ago and I still think about it from time to time 😭😭😭
Omg hannah you are going to LOVE anxious people. I recently finished it and I’ve never read something so devastating yet heartwarming 😭 one of my favorite reads of the year so far!!
i think you should definitely check out the southern bookclub's guide to slaying vampires by grady hendrix for your vampire video!!! super campy fun time, i feel like itd be a change of pace based off your other books you've mentioned, but still!!!
As someone who has also been a vampire reader since she was about 12, I'm so happy there's now an influx of vampire fiction being published, since it seems the industry was scared to do more after they over-flooded the market when Twilight got big. One of the ones I'm looking forward to reading in October is "Immortal Dark" by Tigest Girma; it sounds like a great dark read for October. Also "The Invocations" by Krystal Sutherland (I really enjoyed her book "House of Hollow"), "The Manningtree Witches" by A.K. Blakemore, and "The Once and Future Witches" by Alix E. Harrow.
100% recommend reading Beloved by Toni Morrison if you want to check out more of her books. It has a lot of horror elements so it's perfect for fall (it's also really emotionally heavy, but definitely worth a read). I haven't read it yet myself, but I've heard that The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova is a great vampire book rec.
So, this is a bit random and unrelated to the video so I apologize for that, but I just wanted to let you know that you are one of the main booktubers who helped and continue, to help inspire me to create my fairly new booktube channel, your content is so calm, fun and nice, you seem like such a sweet kind and good person, and I just love your personality, so I hope you know how great you are and how much of an inspiration you can be! 😊 don’t change for anyone but yourself and never listen to the haters, they don’t know you, neither do I but I don’t need to know much to know you’re amazing
Certain Dark Things pulled me out of my reading slump last year while simultaneously reigning my love for vampires. Also, I love Anxious People! Fredrik Backman has the best character descriptions, and I'm always so enthralled by anything he writes. Thank you for all the book recommendations! I'm definitely gonna add a few to my TBR list.
if you like gothic fiction i feel like you’d love The Bog Wife 👀 appalachian gothic about a family that sacrifices their patriarch in exchange for a “wife” made from the bog, but something goes wrong. the family drama is so so good and the vibes are spooky as hell. my fav book this year.
I’m also hoping to read A Dark and Drowning Tide and Graveyard Shift this fall! I just finished A Sorceress Comes to Call and loved it! So fun and dark! Recently read Parable of the Talents and oof, that one was hard to get through but so good. Absolutely loved Anxious People 😍 My fall TBR is out of control but some books at the top of my list include One Dark Window, Where the Dark Stands Still, Vampires of El Norte, the Beartown series, and The Spellshop!
From the books that I've read, The Troop is the one that scared me the most! It is definitely very creepy and disgusting at times. Also I'm not sure if you've already tried something from Junji Ito, but if you like some horror manga that's also really upsetting, Uzumaki is a great read!
I believe like comedy, horror is pretty much an experience that is unique to everyone. We all find different types of books funny and it's the same for reading horror. Not all of us find the same books scary. That being said, I would highly recommend 'Gallows Hills' by Darcy Coates. She is the author that introduced me to horror and I absolutely love her books. Some of her books are scarier than others but they all have well crafted characters and storylines and are really atmospheric. She does an incredible job in transporting the reader to fictional settings and making them feel real. I really hope you enjoy this book.
I've been a subscriber of yours for many years and I'm not usually a commenter, but since you asked for scary book recs I HAVE to recommend one of my favourite books of all time: Dracul by Dacre Stoker & J. D. Barker. It's a very classically gothic vampire story and it scared the living hell out of me while at the same time having such amazing female characters and sibling relationships. I just can't recommend it enough. Love your videos & I hope you have a great fall time
6:20 This is perfect timing, because I just read Carmilla! I really enjoyed it and would love to hear your thoughts on it when you’re done! The two main “fall” books I’m reading this year are that and Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches (a rec from you haha) and I’m so excited for that! I’ve heard it’s such a cute cozy witch fantasy book, which sounds great!
I think a book you would love is Heart of Stone by Johannes T. Evans. Don't let the ugly Cover fool you, it's a gay period romance with a vampire! As for scary books, I just finished House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland. The ending left me a bit unsatisfied but the horror definitely made my skin crawl at times.
Please please please do that vampire rec video!!! I’ve been combing through for vampire books lately and I don’t trust many authors like I do you when it comes to recs 😭

The fall urge to read as many vampire books as possible is very relatable
i made a whole separate vampire tbr too….👀
@@AClockworkReaderhave you read A Certain Hunger? 😊
@@AClockworkReaderMe too.
Hannah in her active era omg. This weekly content is truly spoling me, tyvm
A sorceress comes to call is AMAZING, definitely gets more unhinged towards the ending so u could say it’s gothic horror. It had everything, mommy issues, great female characters, witty dialogues, and intensity.
Agreed. I’d also add on Found family in the mix
Truly check the trigger warnings for Fledgling, a lot of people go into it thinking they can handle it but it’s one of the few of Octavia’s I’m happy I read the trigger warnings beforehand.
I feel you, interview with the vampire has reignited my love for vampires especially the gay ones obviously. Just finished reading carmilla and it's sooooo good, hope you love it

PLEASE GOD LET US HAVE MORE INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE CONTENT. I started the show after you mentioned it in a previous video and now I have a hyperfixation so honestly I think you owe me 😅💖
Omg I'm Irainian and I think in a couple of a videos you've mentioned persian books which doesn't happen often in booktube and it warmed my heart. Love you so much
She’s literally Iranian herself 😭
here to thank you for introducing me to IWTV I binged watch the two seasons and it was literally made for me in a lab omfg I am obsessed
I read Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire series when I was a teenager and it made me fall in love with vampires and Louisiana. A good series, though it's been a long while so I may need to do a re-read. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the vampire books on your TBR.
It was indeed called a dasboard (dash for short), and i remember when mine was full of the webseries Carmilla adaptation (which was very gay). I read Carmilla twice since then and I love it.
"I'm thinking of ending things" is in equal parts creepy and sad and philosophical. Perfect for you, I think.
ps: you look drop-dead gorgeous here.
The Vampire Lestat is great, definitely liked it more than the first book.
I also love Tale of the Body Thief, in that series.
The Vampire Lestat is my favorite and the Tale of the Body Thief is very funny with the exception of one scene.
I highly recommend The September House by Carissa Orlando as a scary/spooky read. It's my absolute favorite haunted house story!
MORE HANNAH CONTENT?!?! ty for this early Halloween treat 🙇♀️ 🥹
☺️🫶🏼
ANXIOUS PEOPLE IS SO UNDERRATED!! oh my god that book took me through the RINGER when i read it for the first time. i'm being 100% serious when i say the MINUTE i finished it i was online ordering a physical copy because i just needed to have that book within arms reach
CANNOT WAIT for the vampire content!!!
read the forbidden book Magnetic Aura on Borlest, and you'll see the secrets they're keeping from us.
Blood over bright haven is a perfect dark academia
HANNAH POSTS I’M THERE!! Best book tuber in the history of booktube.
I just finished Anxious People and gave it 5 stars! I absolutely loved and adored everything about it! I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did! 🍁🎃♥️
6:27 Carmilla!!!! I just finished reading this a week ago, and it was a FANTASTIC read. Very short and succint, all the gothic vampy goodness, and a fun read. Excited to hear your thoughts!! ❤
the interview with the vampire series also lives rent free in my head, but I'm scared to read the series because I've heard it's so different
Beloved by Toni Morrison is really spooky and gothic so if you like Sula you ll love that!
Have you filmed a reading vlog for Heir?? Please that would be incredible!!! ❤️
I highly recommend the Lore & Lust series by Karla Nikole, one of my favorite vampire series and also queer. I also really enjoyed the Vicki Nelson/Blood series by Tanya Huff (I love the TV adaptation Blood Ties, and Henry Fitzroy is one of my favorite vampire characters ever.)
“They Used to Live Here” is a book that genuinely creeped me out. I’m a huge horror media fan so I don’t really get scared super easily anymore but that book definitely left me feeling uneasy
I got this book but I’m very scared to start reading …. Is it super chilly ? I can handle o my light horror ….
@@marish_berry I wouldn’t say it’s super intense horror, it’s just very eerie feeling and left me a bit creeped out
I can’t find the book. Name of the author please? Thank you 🙏
I just finished watching interview with the vampire show and I loved it! Definitely gonna be reading some vampire books
I don't have it in me to explain how much I ~NEED~ the vampire recommendation video!
I looooved A Sorceress Comes to Call. It was tense and atmospheric. Plus there is a cute and sweet romance. Go in blind.
The author of This Ravenous Fate said that if you liked Vi and Caitlyn from the series Arcane u will love this book because it has the same vibes as them and since Arcane is MY FAVORITE SHOW and I love caitvi so much, I too, am so excited to read the book.
p.s. love you Hannah💕💕

Omg hannah you are going to LOVE anxious people. I recently finished it and I’ve never read something so devastating yet heartwarming 😭 one of my favorite reads of the year so far!!

i'm so ready for falls reads - i just went to barnes & noble the other day and bought babel, a dark and drowning tide and lady macbeth
Carmilla is such a good book for spooky season! I read it last year and loved it! A Sorceress Comes to Call is also very good.

I haven't read it yet myself, but I've heard that The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova is a great vampire book rec.
I was just thinking “I need a bookish video to encourage me to read today” and you provided for me 😭💜
Omg Anxious People is one of my favorite books of all time. You’ll never see all the plot twists coming.
You gotta read Magnetic Aura from Borlest. Don't look it up or read anything about it. Just pick it up and read :D happy reading!
So, this is a bit random and unrelated to the video so I apologize for that, but I just wanted to let you know that you are one of the main booktubers who helped and continue, to help inspire me to create my fairly new booktube channel, your content is so calm, fun and nice, you seem like such a sweet kind and good person, and I just love your personality, so I hope you know how great you are and how much of an inspiration you can be! 😊 don’t change for anyone but yourself and never listen to the haters, they don’t know you, neither do I but I don’t need to know much to know you’re amazing
Anxious People is my favorite book!! I hope you love it!!
YOU. LOOK. STUNNING.
I love how much you’re posting 🥹❤️
I would love to see you do a book to movie (2020) comparison of Rebecca, i recently watched the movie and am interested to see what you think
Certain Dark Things pulled me out of my reading slump last year while simultaneously reigning my love for vampires.
Also, I love Anxious People! Fredrik Backman has the best character descriptions, and I'm always so enthralled by anything he writes.

If you’re a real vampire mood, I highly recommend Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma. Black girls, black vampires, and dark academia
Thank you!! Just added it to my tbr
i had no idea m. l. rio was coming out with a new book!! i read the synopsis and it sounds perfect for fall. thank you hannah!
It's so nice to see you, Hannah !!!❤️
Ghost Story by Peter Straub is one of my favorite horror novels and perfect for October!
Scary books: Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman and The Last House On Needless Street by Caitronia Ward
From the books that I've read, The Troop is the one that scared me the most! It is definitely very creepy and disgusting at times. Also I'm not sure if you've already tried something from Junji Ito, but if you like some horror manga that's also really upsetting, Uzumaki is a great read!
yesss I’ve been waiting all year for this video!! fall books are my favorite❤

White Smoke scared me so much. I was home alone the entire week and was freaked out.
I hope you have an amazing upcoming fall season, specifically filled with cozy books and activities in store for you❤🎃
The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez is a black sapphic vampire book I would recommend
Lady Macbeth was SO GOOD!!!!! Also Hannah, you are as gorgeous as you are brilliant! Your face structure is just so beautiful and I love your style!
6:20 This is perfect timing, because I just read Carmilla! I really enjoyed it and would love to hear your thoughts on it when you’re done!

as soon as i heard about graveyard shift i thought of you haha
i'm looking forward to reading jt too
I would recommend how to sell a haunted house by Grady Hendrix, it’s kind of scary and goth by outsuichi.
I enjoyed A Sorceress Comes to Call. I would definitely give trigger warnings for parental abuse. I gave it 4 stars and read it in about 2 days.
I think a book you would love is Heart of Stone by Johannes T. Evans. Don't let the ugly Cover fool you, it's a gay period romance with a vampire!
As for scary books, I just finished House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland. The ending left me a bit unsatisfied but the horror definitely made my skin crawl at times.
A Sorceress comes to call is the best I’ve read for a long time. Hope you will enjoy it as well ❤
I am so so excited for Graveyard Shift!!
are u a goddess or what 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐 have mercy, hannah 😔🙏🏻
Please please please do that vampire rec video!!! I’ve been combing through for vampire books lately and I don’t trust many authors like I do you when it comes to recs 😭
