I'm Sinead, your spooky book-reading & scary film-watching goblin. Expect reading and film recommendations and unhinged content from my life. I'm also the girl voice from @thepoisonerscabinet podcast. Yeah I don't know what I'm doing.
This channel is for anyone looking for spooky book recs with lots of atmosphere and without too much gore. We love a haunted house, folk horror settings, a creepy library and a gothic ghost story. We're also here to have fun and love a 'slasher summer' vibe and 80s & 90s throwbacks.
Do you love books like The Woman in Black, The Silent Companions and One Dark Window, as well as authors like Rachel Harrison, Nat Cassidy and Grady Hendrix?
Do you love to relax with a good horror movie like American Werewolf in London, The Wickerman, Bram Stoker's Dracula and Tucker & Dale vs Evil?
Did you read Point Horror books and watch Labyrinth and Return To Oz as a kid?
OH let's hang out. And the pets better not die.

My October reading wrap up is live! 🎃🍂
It was a big month with 12 books & tales, and a mixed bag of folk horror, YA slashers, classic gothics and ghostly tales. And one popular book that didn't do it for me...
Enjoy the madness! https://youtu.be/8NkTgQvx964
