   Very cool place! Great owner. Great books. They are super nice and knowledgeable. It’s very family friendly here.

Just fair warning, The owner likes to dress like his dog. So, you may see him dressed in a dog suit from time to time,

   Some pretty professional ghouls in this joint. If you don't have the pleasure of stopping in physically they have a great online store!

   The staff are helpful and welcoming. Max, the owner is awesome (he is a horror author too)!! They have horror books that you won't find in other retail bookstores and a few signed copies. They carry spooky books for YA, middle, and kids too. This is my favorite bookstore!! 🤓🖤

This Week’s Decayed Tape: SLEDGEHAMMER (1983)

On this week’s episode of Decayed Tapes, we’re talking about David A. Prior’s SLEDGEHAMMER from 1983, the very first SOV horror movie released straight-to-video. A two-roomed slasher that gets creative with seances and spooooky ghost shenanigans? Sign us up! Just please, for the love of god, prepare yourselves for an atrocity of slow-motion editing effects. Also: which one of us once destroyed an entire couch with a sledgehammer so it’d fit into their trash cans? Tune in and find out!
