 Hi there, welcome to Typical Books, I'm Lydia Peaver and I like to talk about horror fiction. As a traditionally and independently published author, I do cover what has shaped me as an author. But first and foremost, I talk about what shaped me as a reader and a lover of horror novels. I also do talk about film from time to time and would talk about film on my podcast with co-host Wes Deadair Nightbit, splatterpictures.net. There's definitely a note that I do cover a lot of horror books, so I do reviews first and foremost. Second of all, I do enjoy doing new releases. So aside from a ten-part bookshelf tour where you get to see what is on my shelves as a sort of hall and other typical booktube fair, every month or twice a month I like to talk about what is new from Horror Writer's Association of Authors. I curate the members books page at horror.org, so you'll definitely see some of what's new. And I'd hope to expand that a little bit to just what is catching my eye in horror in general. I do enjoy very extreme new horror and very somber, dark classics. Not always with a paranormal angle as well. I always am a huge sucker for a haunted house, but I enjoy true crime. And somewhere in between there sits what I love about horror. I also have a huge, soft spot for so-called hillbilly horror or rural horror. A very big soft spot as it speaks to where I've come from. Be sure to like, subscribe, share. Let me know what you're reading. And if there's something you think I ought to read, definitely let me know and make sure that you have an oaky spooky day.
