reading the best horror books of the decade 🍂🍁🧡🎃☕ (according to goodreads)

But I think out of everything that I have read here, I think by far my favorite is Bat Eater and other names for Cora Zang. I think that's going to be in my top favorite books that I've read this year.

I have since read Blood on Her Tongue. I recently read that in one of my reading vlogs, and I actually really enjoyed that one a lot.

But everything else here, We Used to Lere, Incidents Around the House, The Eyes Are the Best Part, Dioala, and Bare Your Gaze. Those were all books that I gave five stars. Like, I loved all of those.

But I think out of everything that I read in 2022, my top favorites have got to be Mother Thing, Cursed Bunny.

I mean, Dead Silence, it does show that I want to read it, but I actually did give that book a shot, and I just don't know if it's for me.

And then the one book that I've read from her that I actually really liked was called Dead of Winter.

But everything else here, We Used to Lere, Incidents Around the House, The Eyes Are the Best Part, Dioala, and Bare Your Gaze. Those were all books that I gave five stars. Like, I loved all of those.

I think my favorite out of these eight has got to be Fantastic Land. Like that's one of my favorite horror books that I've ever read.

I wish I had realized before I picked this up that this is actually the same author as that book Feverdream, which is another book that I just was not the biggest fan of.

But out of the books that I have read from this list, I really enjoyed Moon of the Crusted Snow as well as the book Foe by Ian Reed.

Out of everything that I have read in this collection, my favorites are by far Tenderest the Flesh, Home Before Dark, and The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. Oh my gosh, those three are some of my favorite books ever.

You know, Christina Henry is an author that I've had such like hit or miss experiences with in the past because Near the Bone is without a doubt my favorite book that I've ever read from this author and I also really enjoyed the book Horsemen from her.

But then I also loved The Reformatory. And The Reformatory was also one of our book troop picks, as well as How to Sell a Haunted House.

But I also really did enjoy Hunger Stone and I thought The Lamb was pretty good as well.

I am so impressed with this one. I think this is officially my new favorite book from Darcy Coats. This was really good.

And I think out of everything that I've read from this collection of books, I think Imaginary Friend by Steven Chabotsky has got to be my favorite because this is the one that has stuck with me the most. I read this book in 2019 and I just loved it so much.

But everything else here, We Used to Lere, Incidents Around the House, The Eyes Are the Best Part, Dioala, and Bare Your Gaze. Those were all books that I gave five stars. Like, I loved all of those.

I really loved that horror novela, but I also loved Into the Drowning Deep. I thought that one was so unique and so fun.

And it is unfortunate because I do think concept-wise, this one is pretty cool, but I am just so not into this writing style at all.

And then I also read Lone Women. And I think that one I gave like three stars, but it was very like forgettable for me and I didn't love like the historical feel of the writing.

I think my favorite out of everything here has got to be Mapping the Interior by Steven Graham Jones. I really loved that horror novela, but I also loved Into the Drowning Deep.

I mean, my top favorites have got to be Monilio and Our Share of Night.

But out of the books that I have read from this list, I really enjoyed Moon of the Crusted Snow as well as the book Foe by Ian Reed.

But I think out of everything that I read in 2022, my top favorites have got to be Mother Thing, Cursed Bunny.

I mean, I was not a huge fan of You Like It Darker by Stephen King and My Darling Dreadful Thing. Those were both pretty low-rated books for me.

You know, it's so funny too because I clearly was reading a lot of horror in 2021, but none of these books I would have considered to be like my top favorite horror books cuz I was also not the biggest fan of My Heart as a Chainsaw.

You know, Christina Henry is an author that I've had such like hit or miss experiences with in the past because Near the Bone is without a doubt my favorite book that I've ever read from this author and I also really enjoyed the book Horsemen from her.

I mean, my top favorites have got to be Monilio and Our Share of Night.

Also, Our Wives Under the Sea is like one of my favorite sappic horror books that I've ever read.

I know everybody loves Slooh Foot, but that book was just not for me. I mean, I might revisit it again in the future, but I just really wasn't the biggest fan of that one.

Out of everything that I have read in this collection, my favorites are by far Tenderest the Flesh, Home Before Dark, and The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. Oh my gosh, those three are some of my favorite books ever.

I actually double checked on Goodreads last night and I've read The Ballad of Tom or whatever that one's called. I really didn't like that one.

I think if I had to pick a favorite out of any of these, it would probably be The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig or maybe The Burning Girls by CJ Tutor.

I think if I had to pick a favorite out of any of these, it would probably be The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig or maybe The Burning Girls by CJ Tutor.

I actually think this is like a really well-ritten, thought-provoking, heartfelt, kind of like emotional family, like hard-hitting kind of story. But this one just really didn't work for me at all.

And I also really love The Children on the Hill, and that was one of our book troop picks that year.

But everything else here, We Used to Lere, Incidents Around the House, The Eyes Are the Best Part, Dioala, and Bare Your Gaze. Those were all books that I gave five stars. Like, I loved all of those.

And then same with The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendris. That's definitely one of my least favorite Grady Hendricks that I've read.

But I do think overall I still had a really good time reading this and it was a very quick listen on audio. And I do think if you really like apocalyptic type of fiction and if you like, you know, like fairy tale retellings, I do think this would be right up your alley.

But I also really enjoyed The Institute by Stephen King is another one that I would consider to be one of my top favorites.

But I also really did enjoy Hunger Stone and I thought The Lamb was pretty good as well.

But then I also loved The Reformatory.

Out of everything that I have read in this collection, my favorites are by far Tenderest the Flesh, Home Before Dark, and The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. Oh my gosh, those three are some of my favorite books ever.

And then The Haunting of Ashurn House has to be one of my least favorite horror books that I've ever read. That was a one star for me.

But everything else here, We Used to Lere, Incidents Around the House, The Eyes Are the Best Part, Dioala, and Bare Your Gaze. Those were all books that I gave five stars. Like, I loved all of those.

I mean, I was not a huge fan of You Like It Darker by Stephen King and My Darling Dreadful Thing. Those were both pretty low-rated books for me.
