"It's been difficult to keep everything in stock,"
"We had a line down the block for six hours, and people were waiting for up to two hours to get in,"
"You go to most bookstores, and there's one shelf - combining mystery, suspense, horror and crime,"
The Twisted Spine opened in Williamsburg, Brooklyn as New York City's first horror-focused bookstore, stocking more than 1,500 titles from classics to modern works. The dimly lit, gothic-themed shop also serves drinks and functions as a social space. Co-owners Jason Mellow and Lauren Komer transitioned from a successful pop-up after strong demand and a $40,000 Kickstarter. Grand opening lines stretched for hours and the store is struggling to keep inventory in stock, prompting shipments such as a recent 750-book delivery. The shop emphasizes horror fandom's embrace of difference and empathy.
