The Home Library of My Dreams! (BOOKSHELF TOUR)

Let's tour my home library together! My private library consists of over 10,000 books spanning many literary genres, from fantasy and science fiction, to mystery/thrillers, gothic, occult and metaphysical, and the classics. But my favorite genre is horror. I have many bookshelves bursting with vintage horror paperbacks (as seen in Paperback from Hell), young adult horror books like Fear Street and Point Horror, Stephen King, and a large Goosebumps collection, just to name a few. I also have many leatherbound books, signed books, and rare first editions in my collection for those who enjoy the finer things in life, and many YA and middle grade books as well. I will also be covering all my home library decor in this video, with helpful bookshelf hacks to get the most out of your space. This is where I spend the majority of my time reading and writing, and I hope you feel at home too!

Hi creeps! My name is Cameron Chaney. I'm a horror author (see links above for info on my books) and I am also the host of Library Macabre, a BookTube channel focusing on horror, both vintage and new, indie and mainstream. Don't care for horror? No worries! I feature other literary genres on my channel as well. I just love books! You might even see an occasional video about horror films. If it's spooky, I'm here for it. :-)

@KentuckyObjectivist Жыл бұрын

No booktuber has videos of this quality. Not even the really big guys. Impressive as always. Love the way you've tiered the paperbacks. That's a good idea. Curious though, how do you go about organizing on the tiers? So if authors starting with A end on the first row of books, do you start with B on the back row? Or do you start with A on the back row and B on the front? 😅

@LibraryMacabre Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the kind words. Good question! A’s would start in the back, B’s in the front. That being said, sometimes when I’m organizing they get switched by accident, then I have to redo them. So frustrating when that happens! 😣

@Taralovescoloring Жыл бұрын

This is amazing! As someone who was a kid/preteen in the late 80's/early 90's who LOVED reading, seeing your selection of all the scholastic books, R.L Stine and Christopher Pike books absolutely warms my heart and brings back a ton of memories of how much I loved those books. I hope one day to be able to remake the collection that I once had. And OMG you have all the babysitter club books 😍😍😍

@rlstan963 Жыл бұрын

Amazing! No joke I know I’ve said it before but you got me into vintage horror paperbacks. I started with goosebumps and fear street but you got me into bonechillers, shivers, AYAOTD, zebra horror, point horror, Christopher pike and spooksville, fright time, etc. and I’m so greatful for the time and energy you put in your videos. I hope to have a library even a quarter as big as yours one day. I’m at about a little over 1,000 now and growing. Thanks again man and keep up the good work! And can’t wait to get autumn crow fresh hell! 🎃 I also took notes and double stacked my shelves with cardboard that I cut and taped to size and it saves so much room, thanks again!

I may have missed them on your shelf, but do you have the World's Best "True" Ghost Stories series from the early 90s? I just started buying a few of those, and also ghost books by Daniel Cohen. They are fun! Great illustrations too. You have so many vintage paperbacks, I'm wondering if you have a couple that I randomly found at a library book sale and brought home: Footsteps in the Night - Dolores Hitchens, Ellery Queen: Dead Man's Tale, or The Darkest Room by Grace Corren. They're really neat to look at, and one has old cigarette ads inside! :) They were about $.35 back in the day.
