This is a wonderful locally owned bookstore, owned by a local author! It only stocks horror books, which is an underappreciated genre so it was nice to find so many options available. It is also right next door to some beautiful vintage clothing stores.

This is a small indie bookstore specializing in horror books. They have a wide selection, including local authors, and some blind date with a book options. It’s also located in an artsy area with other shops featuring local artists. The lady who helped us was very nice. I would definitely go back if I were in the area.

Great indie store with a strong horror vibe. True crime, sci-fi, and more. New and used books with great pricing. Special orders available as well.

I was delighted to find this place. It is a "horror" genre based bookstore. It had a great selection, including some true crime, cryptid, and macabre history selections. The employee was very friendly (in true Louisville style). Highly recommend stopping in even if "horror" isn't your thing. You might just find something you least expect.

Love the store vibes! Love the collections of the books, they even have a whole section of horror books collection by local authors. The lady at the bookshop, Amanda, was lovely. She gave stellar recommendations based on my favourite author. Definitely a shop that you must not missed when you are in town and love horror.
