Horror Books That Are Actually Just Really Good Stories | 12 Tales For Readers of Any Genre

So yeah, if you liked it, I think that you'll love Blackmouth. Incredible story.

I read this one last year, and it completely blew me away. I was not expecting to like it nearly as much as I did.

This book was so good man. Mental manipulation and abuse animal companions just fullon just like haunting but you know really that love is the power of the conquered evil that kind of thing might sound cliche but the way that Joe does it he writes it much better than I can explain it to you.

Read this god I think maybe 19 or 20 years old and man I was just blown away. So Robert Neville, what an amazing story.

And when I read Interview with a Vampire as a teenager, man, that book completely changed my life. Very much about the loss of humanity, moral ambiguity, the consequences of immortality.

Well, I mean, my favorite Stephen King book of all time is it. And I know that's kind of sound like the bandwagon answer at this point because the movie's brought a lot of new fans to the story of it, but the reason that it resonates so well is because the story is very deserving of the legacy that it has.

But it is a really solid story and it just goes it captures solitary and loneliness so well when we're just like as humans we have to have a connection of some sort.

I read No Fatu first and I really liked it.

This is Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. Not much really I can tell you that you probably haven't heard already at this point. Look, it's one of the greatest coming of age stories of all time.

It could have been a thousand more and I kept reading it was just that good as characters in that are just amazing. And again I just love characters that work hard and those characters man they never ever give up.

There is a lot of things in here that I think that you wouldn't expect if you've only seen the movie because I have seen the movie dozens and dozens of times before I read the book about two years ago, and it completely floored me. I love the book just as much as I love that movie already.

This one, I think, is a different kind of horror, very psychological horror because it deals with like the fragile state of the human mind, you know, how like fear and paranoia, it can kind of affect the perception of reality. And this is one of those great books that have you questioning, is this really happening or not?

So, this is one of those like it will pull on your heartstrings in ways you won't expect, but it's definitely just an amazing story what these characters go through in this hell of setting, you know, and it is one of those that makes you realize, hey, how are we used to be?

This very much is going to always get people to say, "Well, do you like that or do you like the stand?" I think they're both amazing stories. I think they both have very big differences.
