A beautiful, independently owned book and record shop, that MUST survive! Well organized, well lit, and extremely browse-friendly. BOOKS: great selection! They seem heavy on the fantasy/horror series type books, if you like those, you will be in heaven here. There are enough books of many genres though, if you are a reader, you'll find something to love here. Me, I love the rock star bios, and books about music - lots of those! RECORDS: Heavy on alternative/punk/industrial, which GREAT!!! The have enough of more mainstream music, mixed in with obscure gems to make any crate-digger happy. Prices are great, staff is friendly and helpful. Check out this little gem.

So many horror books I haven't seen anywhere. I loved the variety and that there were even sub categories. And a pretty extensive LGBTQIA section for horror. Super cool store!

This is a pretty rad spot! My brother was in town and had been asking me to take him, so we finally went. It's really cool seeing a bookstore that specializes in one genre. There are also sections for topics parallel to horror like true crime, thrillers, and non-fiction on horror-related topics. Besides horror, there is a YA section, and sci-fi and fantasy sections. I had a blast looking around while my brother bought of book on Swedish Death Metal. I already have another visit planned for when my horror fan best friend visits.

Super cool place with awesome stuff at good prices. I knew they would have good records but I was pleasantly surprised by their book selection I haven’t read a book in years and I bought 2. It’s in an underrated area that I highly recommend giving a visit.

This is the best bookstore in the entire world. Regular bookstores will have a small genre section, they rarely have a horror section at all. But this place has everything, every horror book your creepy heart desires, every obscure sci fi and weird fantasy. I could die here and be happy (even tho they play loud metal sometimes but that's fine it's their store but it's hard to concentrate on what deranged horror book I want next but not complaining everyone's really nice 10/10)

This bookstore/records/movie store is awesome. It's like it was made for me. They have comics and manga too. The music leans more towards hard rock/metal/punk, and the books tend to be horror and fantasy. The owner is cool and you can always call them to see if they have what you're looking for. I highly recommend this store.

If you’re digging for Rock and Metal records visiting Chicago - this is THE place you don’t want to miss. Be sure to view the “just in” (unsorted) section - who knows what you’ll find. I saw all kinds of things here I had never seen before or not seen in years. They also have blues, pop, garage, indie, R&B and other genres, but the rock and metal are the largest collections. If you’re into horror and fantasy they also have movies and books and all the related things you would expect. Nice collection of metal band pins by the register for sale and other items too. You won’t leave here empty handed lol.
