 Hi there today on typical books. I'm going to do a little a to z You would think with a count like this. We would be counting things But yeah, Count Chocula fun fact. I had never tasted this cereal until The time that I cut this out of the box, which was a couple weeks ago Being an adult horror fan that has never had the Count Chocula cereal. Can you imagine? Yeah, that's the deprived life I lead anyhow Welcome. Happy Halloween. This is just going to be a little bit of a Halloween special because I Get notoriously busy around Halloween like any horror writer like any horror fan like any Halloween fan So many booktubers right now specifically horror booktubers are so ultra busy. It's a little bit insane Let alone our book reviewing friends. Everyone is reading all of the great books You've seen all of the new release videos. If this is your first time here, welcome I often do new release videos when there are new books out from the horror writers association And that is just the tippy tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the horror books in this world So I know a lot of us have double lives as booktubers and reviewers or instagramers and stuff We're all incredibly busy right now. So I urge you to check out all of the great things There are I know long-form videos to come from a lot of booktubers I am going to do a little bit of an a to z inspired by some of the Favorite a to z or encyclopedic horror reference books that I have first off a little bit of a New book mail. I just got in from ellen dotlo herself the best horror of the year This is the most recent iteration volume 12 And I do love having these. I don't have every single one and I really ought to Featuring all the kaiser soze's this year of horror Now while that may not be an a to z we've got one that is often mentioned On booktube specifically by alex. She grew up just loving this and absorbing it And I did as well clive barker's a to z of horror and it is indispensable as a coffee table book I wish that there was a re-release of this much larger. This is a laminated copy for whatever reason But hey, I love this book and flip through it often now while many books in horror My horror library are alphabetic or encyclopedic This one I flip too often while reading or you know, my character has to have a dream about what I don't know Let's pick something out of zolars What is their initials? Let's pick something out of that. So an encyclopedia of omen signs and superstitions It is a fantastic and indispensable book better than a dream dictionary in a lot of ways because it has every little thing Like what does it mean when you walk under a ladder? What does it mean when a bluebird perches on your swing set? I don't know just making stuff up here But it's in here somewhere What what happens when you dream of your teeth falling out or broken stairs dream things are in here as well as Small things like what does it mean when a knife lands on the floor and points away from you? Is a man coming or is money leaving? One book that did greatly influence my idea for the a to z of horror was lisa lettuces encyclopedia gothica It's a beautiful hardcover a to z of all things goth And you may not be thinking that goth automatically equals horror, but it is a huge part of my horror Reality, so I do count it as one of my spooky books. But number one it is just beautiful January 2012 l is for lydia boo and it has her wax seal just a lovely lovely Thing with a little bookmark as well just a beautiful little book And I have it bookmarked at lydia deets one of my favorite encyclopedias was Purchased by my husband for me encyclopedia of how it is a great book to flip through I'm going to keep it closer to my worked station during these days Whenever I have a down moment instead of flipping through Oh twitter let's say or reddit. I think I'm going to pick this up and have a chuckle or two The an invasion manual for demons concerning the planet earth and the human race which infests it Translated from the demonic by martin olfson. Thank you, sir And it is just a beautiful beautiful book in its manual of earth terms a to f And it is old timey almost like an almanac the way the old farmer's almanac used to be laid out Podrophium the third it ends with zodiac to zik zik of azmioth Poet lord of hell porting resonance in the university of hell Yeah, this will be a fun little pastime And if only I could have made my e to z this beautiful but being Pressed to time and new to tiktok. I was mostly playing with their controls I am not a fan of that venue I would log on to tiktok when I wanted to check it out like I do with a lot of these new apps and social Media things and I was instantly annoyed. I don't like it. I don't like it There are a few people on there that I've discovered during my time of creation of the a to z And I do follow them to a certain extent, but I really wish that the for you page Wasn't such a glaring monstrosity But I guess that that is the human race which infests planet earth now without further ado I was asked by my friend Thomas Nichols. You can find him at tncomedy.net. He is a comedian And he enjoyed the a to z and being one of the people that might have enjoyed tiktok But may have had a threaten to be taken away from them He had said hey, are you gonna put this on youtube anytime? And I was like, yes, I am going to once I'm done And it took me more than 26 days to put the a to z together Not because it was time intensive, but I was busy doing other things But it was a fun experiment to play with some of the controls get a creepy feel And I hope that you enjoy my spooky library a to z Welcome to the spooky library a to z.
