Typical Books of Terror: Horror Books and Fiction Discussion

Today we have some of the books that were bought from Feb 29 onward, plus a little film fun. We are self-isolating for the most part, since we are healthy, want for little, and one of us works from home. All is well despite our province being in a declared state of emergency.  For more on Phantasm check out Regina's Haunted Library: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5tz-... And more creepy cozy, check out Harpies in the Trees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snxx_... Books hauled here are:

Today we have The Sex in Literature booktube tag. This caught my eye after Shawn did this so be sure to check out his video!

Sex in Literature : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sobwy...

The Original Tag ~ by Brian of Bookish : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68VB5... - excellent talk! I do agree that sex is often handled poorly and there ought to be more robust depictions of all types of sex... I just don't like to read it!

Prompts:

1. What is a book you have read that comes close to crossing the line between Literature/ Adult Fiction and Pornography?

2. What is a book you have read with a cringe worthy depiction or discussion of sex?

3. What's the most overrated book, with a reputation for being sexy, that you have read?

4. What is your favorite passage from a book about or describing sex or a sexual situation?

5. What is a book you have recently read that you think handles descriptions/ discussions of sex well?

6. What are some books that contain positive and frank depictions of sexual relationships between LGBTQ+ characters?

7, What do think is the best way of depicting sex in literature/ fiction?

8. Tag some people who may enjoy this discussion.

Today we have True Crime by Samantha Kolesnik. This book has been the darling of the horror press and now of horror booktube with good reason.  

"Suzy and her brother, Lim, live with their abusive mother in a town where the stars don’t shine at night. Once the abuse becomes too much to handle, the two siblings embark on a sordid cross-country murder spree beginning with their mom. As the murder tally rises, Suzy’s mental state spirals into irredeemable madness."

Today we have a bookshelf tour - or the start of one. I'd like to think of it as the clutch of books we have in the house as they are like that pile of gold a dragon guards, no?

This is a stack of books that get shuffled rarely, and are too dear to fit in a normal shelf.

As noted, check out John's channel Written in Blood : https://www.youtube.com/user/jmountwib
