Gothic Horror | Book Recommendations

next i want to recommend one of my all-time favorite novels ever it is dracula by bram stoker

they all are quite different from one another they all experiment with different elements of gothic car which is one thing that's very interesting so again i would recommend this for someone who's just getting into gothic car because you basically get a taste for a little bit of everything within this

it is incredibly rewarding once you finally get to the end of it

i know i'm not selling it very well but it is one that's definitely worth a read like i said especially for the influential value of it

this was one of my favorite books that i read this year

this book reads very much of its time it reads like it's incredibly camp but it is good fun

this is one of my all-time favorite ghost stories i think it is absolutely brilliant

it is a really interesting concept and it is very much borrowed from malmoth the wanderer but he does certainly put his own spin on it i say it is a lot easier to read than mel mother wander it is like a much more succinct variation of it is a fantastic read

there is a real sense while you're reading the shining that there really is no escape and you know you're running into a load of dead ends continuously and it does a great job at amplifying and reflecting jack torrance's mental state as he's just on this downfall into insanity

so it's quite interesting that it's from a completely different perspective like i said and it is very short you would read it probably less than an hour or so if you're going to be reading any of the books that i recommend in this video i'd say definitely start with dr jekyll and mr hyde if you haven't read it yet

this is one that i was thinking of when i was saying earlier on about how there are some gothic cars that make you question the main character's mental state and whether they are actually experiencing the things that they're claiming to experience or whether they're imagining it and that's what i really loved about this story

i personally found it quite hard to read and quite hard to get into and then on top of that you have quite triggering content such as rape and murder and it's just it feels very overwhelming while you're reading it but it is definitely worth a read especially if you're someone who's into horror and you like the more disturbing side of things or you genuinely want to be shocked it is a really insightful character study into ambrosio's state of mind and i can't recommend this enough
