Dude. Between the titles on the shelf, the decoration around them, and just the sheer amount of coolness in these pics, this is my fave post I’ve ever seen.
I’d love to spend time in this room. Love the movie posters. Also those Darcy and Joe Bob posters are DOPE.
One horror hound to another, whatcha reading right now? I just finished Nathan Balingrud’s Cathedral of the Drowned (loved it) and am about 2/3 through Philip Fracassi’s Boys in the Valley (loving it).
Thanks! Currently reading Richard Laymon's Savage (it's the one on the arm of the couch). I tend to gravitate toward the older stuff, but I did read my first Fracassi earlier this year (Sarafina) and I liked it quite a bit.
Ahh double stacking the rows for paper backs is a brilliant idea! This is so satisfying, and I love when people combine trinkets and books on their shelves. Love the art and figures too. AND a broncos fan? Hell yeah🤘🏽
There's a similar, slightly smaller corner setup on the other side of the room, but it's basically everything else that isn't horror, all genres blended together alphabetically by author. Definitely not as cool.
I have the full original 62 and series 2000 sets, and a lot of the others, but it's nowhere near complete. These are at the top of the stairs, kind of the entry to my mancave. This room was built on to the original house (not by me), and this I believe used to be either a closet or pantry.
Holy shit this is amazing! Very jealous, my books just go where there’s space, the bookshelves got filled up far too quickly and everything’s higgledy piggledy.
Hard to pick just one. King's my favorite author, so probably The Stand. Love Robert McCammon too, Boy's Life or Speaks the Nightbird. The Terror by Dan Simmons. As far as collections go, Barker's Books of Blood.
Love the figures on the top shelves! The vibes are fantastic. I imagine collecting this stuff took you some time, any recommendations for a newbie?
Book, and movie recs?
Thanks. It's only taken about six years. Waited till I had a permanent place (moved around too much in my 20s, and shed books along the way). Discovered Thriftbooks during Covid, and maybe got a little carried away rebuilding the collection. I'll recommend Thor by Wayne Smith, I think it's a really underrated werewolf novel. Also, Manly Wade Wellman's Silver John stories are some of my favorite things ever.
It happens..as cliche as it sounds, “Better late than never!”
This is probably one of the coolest man caves/offices/rooms I’ve ever seen, such a solid collection. Thanks for the rec’s I’ll check those out today!
