Recs if you like Schrader's Chord...

I can't be the only one who want to remember all the books without jumping around in a video, right?

“Make your statement, face your fear.”

A selection of books with vibes similar to the themes, narrative format, and generally eeriness of our favorite horror pod. Recommendations always welcome!

Horror that centers around a band or music. Most involve Metal bands and/or Satan. This sub-genre is very campy and fun but it can have some problematic moments (especially the old ones) so tread with caution and check content warnings!

did you love creepypastas like ben drowned, candle cove or smile dog as a kid? then analog horror might be for you! while this isn't an exhaustive list of all possible analog horror books, it's what i consider a good start. happy reading ♡

Horror novels and novellas that are centered around music, musicians, and music shops (trying to include books for horror readers at all levels of spooky)
