A Local Bookshop for Readers

Reviewers praise the range: a dedicated horror section, plus thrillers, fantasy and science fiction, non-fiction, a local author shelf and a good-sized children's area.

More Than a Bookstore

Visitors describe it as a place to stay a while, with seating, a coffee and conversation about what to read next, and the owners as friendly and well read. The shop also holds events, including children's storytime.
