Hi guys! Welcome to Johann's Library...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd start my blog with a quick introduction. I'm Johann (obviously) and I'm currently in the process of obtaining my PhD in Pharmacy...however, when I'm not in the lab, there's one thing I love to do - and that's read!


Having been an avid reader in my youth, life soon got in the way and I became a casual reader, often taking months to finish one book. Then a couple of years ago, I became obsessed with the horror genre, and one day I was searching online for ideas for new books when I kept seeing this Pennywise the Clown pop up. I was intrigued...went online to Amazon and ordered IT by Stephen King. The rest, as they say, is history...

I devoured IT and fell in love with King's style of writing. It felt like he was writing just for me - and I think that's pretty special when you find that in an author. I had only finished IT when I jumped online to order even more King books. Quickly I decided that I wanted to embark on a mission. I wanted to read EVERYTHING King had ever written! First, the books must be bought. I completed my collection in 2016 and am currently in the process of upgrading a few remaining paperbacks to hardbacks - because hardbacks are just book porn, am I right? Now I'm making my way through his entire bibliography and have read over 30 of his books - quite impressive given that I also have  undertaken the massive task of completing a PhD in Pharmacy. But reading is my release, my way of escaping from test tubes and bacteria and organic chemistry... It's the perfect stress-reliever.

I somehow fell into bookstagramming on instagram, introducing others to my King journey and chatting with like-minded Constant Readers. My best friend said to me "Why don't you start a blog?" and I thought "Why? Who the hell would wanna listen to my ramblings?" but given my following on instagram, I began to realise that plenty of people cared what I think! And here we are...my very first blog and my very first blog post. I intend to use this blog to review King books and other books I happen to fall in love with. Join me and subscribe to my posts to keep up-to-date!

50 Horror Books You Must Read!

Image
Behold! A blog post I've been working on for a few weeks now. I often get asked which horror books I would recommend, so I thought I'd make my life a little easier and create a mammoth list. So as of this minute, here are 50 books that I've read and enjoyed. I have included some that I personally wasn't overly enamoured with, but reading is such a personal experience that I thought I'd give you the chance to make up your own mind! In a year or so I might post an update with great horror books that I've discovered since this list was made. In the list you'll find novels, some short stories and a few novellas thrown in too... Enjoy! 1. Pet Sematary - Stephen King It’s me. Of course this book is at the top of the pile! (Even though the rest are in no way ranked…). An incredible horror novel providing heartbreaking insight into death, loss and grief. The horror is not found in huge tense, scary moments, but in those quiet and soul-crushing moments

50 States 50 Horror Books

Image
One of my reading goals for 2021 is to start working through my 50 States, 50 Horror Books challenge (inspired by lists on NYT and Bustle). For those who haven't heard of these lists, essentially a horror book has been assigned to each state in America depending on where the book has been set. Throughout 2021 I am aiming to tick off 2 states per month. And if others want to take part, then great! You can either follow along with me, or work through the list at your own pace, picking whichever books appeal to you (or inserting some of your own!) I've combined both the NYT and Bustle lists, adding in some suggestions of my own to get started (and thank you to anyone who sent me their suggestions too!) Alabama The Elementals by Michael McDowell Kin by Kealan Patrick Burke   Alaska 30 Days of Night by Steve Niles         Polar Night by Julie Flanders   Arizona The Revelation by Bentley Little   Arkansas Southern Gods by John Hornor Jacobs The Bird Eater by Ania Ahlborn   California

Book Review: Books of Blood Vol 1-3 by Clive Barker

Image
Comprised of insane and downright horrifying tales from Clive Barker, Books of Blood is a strong debut release which led to King referring to him as "the future of horror". This edition contains Volumes 1-3, a grand total of fifteen stories (sixteen if you include the intro) - a large number of which have been subsequently adapted into movies.  "Everybody is a book of blood; wherever we're opened, we're red." Having already been blown away by The Hellhound Heart, I was excited to get into more Clive Barker - and oh boy, this did not disappoint. The sheer range of stories within these first three volumes of Books of Blood is staggering. And the quality remains consistently high throughout. Barker's imagination is unparalleled - I mean, King has a pretty awesome imagination too, but his skills are slightly different to Barker's. One minute you're reading about a serial killer who quite literally skins his victims and hangs them up like
