Very friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and passionate about fantasy and sci-fi books. Nice atmosphere, very accommodating and willing to help out.
One of the best bookstores I've ever visited! Super friendly staff, I love that they don't jump on you asking if you need anything the second you walk in and give you time to look around, very nice for socially anxious people. Great selection of local artist wares, too! Will absolutely return!
Excellent store with a curated collection by owners who are very passionate about horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and building community. Wish I lived closer so I can stop in more often. Go check it out!
Really nice looking bookstore. Love the location. Had everything marked clearly and displayed well. I’m giving it 3 stars because no one asked if they could help me. I did have some questions because I didn’t see what I was looking for. The man behind the counter was on his cell phone the whole time. I was the only one in the room at that time too. He didn’t even look up. I was there on Sunday the 29th around 2pm. I might go back a second time because all my favorite types of books are in one spot. We shall see!
This is a really cute bookstore for the horror, fantasy, and science fiction fan. The owner is knowledgeable about the various books and authors. There are also some fun tchotchkes you can buy like keychains and bookmarks and more. The selection is small but you are shopping local.
