Welcome to our dark little corner of the internet.

We're a woman-owned, Canadian online bookstore dedicated entirely to horror because life is short, the world is weird, and sometimes the best coping strategy is curling up under a blanket and reading about something much, much worse.

We love horror in all its forms: haunted houses, possessed best friends, creepy children, classic creature features, and the stories that leave you staring at the ceiling at 2AM wondering, "what the fuck did I just read?"

If it makes you sleep with the lights on, we probably stock it.

But we don't think horror should be intimidating.

You don’t need to know cosmic horror from body horror, have read every classic, know every subgenre, or keep up with all the newest voices in the industry.

That's our job.

You should be able to browse, embrace your curiosity, pick something because the cover looks cool (or like your next terrible decision), and DNF a book because it just isn't your thing.

Horror can be fun. It can be cathartic. It can help us explore the things that scare us in a world where there are plenty of reasons to be afraid. And sometimes you just want to read about a zombie apocalypse instead of succumbing to the Sunday Scaries.

So, grab your favourite blanket, put on the playlist that would have definitely been featured on your AIM away message in 2009, and light a candle that reminds you of a dark and stormy night. We'll take care of the scary stuff.

Anyway, enough about us. Go find yourself something horrifying to read.
