I've enjoyed these books as you've been featuring them on your channel, and today, to my great surprise, I found two of them at my local Indigo bookstore! Of course, I grabbed them. Even at $18 apiece, they are all worth the price, and I hope to find more to fill out my own collection of British Library Tales of the Weird. Beautiful books!
I love the British Library Tales Of The Weird series, this video was such a joy to watch!
I'm also a huge William Hope Hodgson fan and since you mentioned having collected many editions of his work - do you think you'll make a video about that one day? I'd be really thrilled to watch that!
Okay done, I'll put it on the list!
Love it , i read books to am jealous from your collection.
Great video! I have just signed up to the BL's Tales of the Weird subscription service - one book a month for £9.99! Looking forward to getting stuck in.
I'm very tempted by the subscription, it's a great idea
@@royreadsanything each book comes with a bookmark and A5 art print of the cover which is really cool.
I’ve never heard of this series before and I absolutely love it! If only I had the money and space to have them all! I think I’d start with Evil Roots: Killer Tales of the Botanical Gothic. Thank you for bringing these books to our attention!
Evil Roots is a good one. Glad to spread the word about something cool. -Roy
The books "keep on coming but the house isn't getting any bigger". Hilarious, but alas, too true. I relate. "Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and in all the nooks." - Dr. Seuss.
My house is "Seuss Approved". Is there a Seuss Stamp of Approval? I think there should be.....(Or perhaps just a pin ;)
Yes I too seem to have a book problem… or maybe what I actually have is a shelf problem. Can you ever have too many bookshelves in a home? 🤔
@@wendyreeve9923 YESSSSSSS!!!! What an excellent diagnosis worthy of an episode of "House".....a shelf problem, not a book problem. A small comment with huge, paradigm shifting ramifications. Well done.
I'm running out of corners - are ceiling shelves a thing?
Wow! I never heard of these. Now I want them all!
They're a fun collection but rather addictive
I LOVE this so much! 👏🏻👏🏻 Excellent tour!
Thanks MJ, I appreciate you sparing it some eye-power
@@royreadsanything Ear power works too Roy :)
@@Pinheadglynbo Good point! I actually have a hearing aid now, I'm turning into a cyborg lol
Could you make an update video to cover the news items in the collection? Greetings from Brazil.
Hope so!
Every time you show these books I just want to buy all the ones I don't own. Evil Roots is still my favourite one of the ones I've read so far, but I can't wait to read them all. They're definitely strong collections that I'll revisit several times each. The editors of these do a fantastic job.
It's good that the British Library are open to a variety of editors, it brings in different perspectives, which is cool.
What a gorgeous collection! Every cover is amazing!
I like the way you've categorized them, that's probably how I would shelve them
Thanks, I do love the look of them and their dedication to classy illustrations.
I've been slowly collecting the British Library's Science Fiction Classics (also edited by Mike Ashley). It's a well put together collection of short stories many stories and authors not that well known. I'm not sure how many books in the series but I have around 10. I have seen the Tales of the weird and been very tempted before but my inner shelf space demon stops me.
That sounds like a helpful demon! I picked up a like-new copy of a time travel collection from the SF series on a day when the charity shop gods were looking favourably upon me.
Great collection. I got my first couple of books as Christmas presents, looking forward to reading them and collecting more. Do you know if there is a listing of all the titles in the series somewhere?
I'm not sure there is a complete list. The British Library shop seems to be missing a couple of the earliest ones, while Goodreads is a bit flaky. I'm confident in the list in this video description, except two newer ones need adding: Haunters at the Hearth and Polar Horrors - as well as forthcoming titles.
@@royreadsanything thank you , I think I’ve produced a full list. I’ve even found some that are due for release later this year. Only one that I can’t see on sale that is The Face in the Glass
Beautiful series! Trying to keep them from tickling my collector bone.
Resist! Resist! And then give in.
@@royreadsanything If only .... I'm at the point where I need to unhaul again, then focus on a smaller set of "keepers." Retirement is around the corner and I have no idea where I'll land! Mansion? Studio apartment? Who knows.
What a fun series to have ! I bought a set of books sort of similar and I’m ashamed I haven’t looked at them as much as I would like
There's never enough time to look at all the books 😭 - Roy
Thanks for showing off your collection... did you actually rearrange them several times for the video? Love the commitment! When I complete my collection (2 down 29 to go for me hahahahaha) I will arrange them by colour, which is a method I typically hate but in this case it just makes sense! haha
I'm afraid I did make the actual arrangements, based on a spreadsheet I made with all the sortable elements 😂😂😂
@@royreadsanything well I highly appreciate it haha
Roy, I own a copy of 'Out of the Deep: And Other Supernatural Tales by Walter de la Mare.' Is this particular book a part of this series too, or not?
It doesn't seem to be though I can't see why they haven't branded it thus - it looks great though!
