Super cool concept, horror themed book shop that hosts lots of pop up events. Definitely come support a small business. Very sweet staff too. Fair prices. Only suggestion is that they desperately need to remove the wallpaper in the front room (floral succulents) it takes away from the vibes, which is huge when marketing a new spot with a niche theme. Painting the walls would be sooo cool as well, if possible. Black walls in the front room, blood red room in the back. Add some lamps and its set. This place has loads of potential!

If sci-fi and fantasy are your favorite genres, this bookstore should be high on your list to check out. I’ve really gotten into fantasy over the past year, and the owner was incredible—offering thoughtful recommendations and genuinely engaging in conversations about the series I’ve already read. Their knowledge is impressive, and the experience felt personal and welcoming. Highly recommend this bookstore.
