Other Skies Weird Fiction — Local services in West St. Paul

A lovely book store if you are into horror books! The owner has an amazing collection of classic horror books. The vibe of the store is perfect for the genre they're selling. My feedback would be that I wish there was at least some light music playing in the store, as browsing in silence felt weird. Another thing was I wish the sections were labeled, as since I was a first time visitor I didn't really know how things were sorted. For a personal touch, I think it would be cool if they did what some other book stores do and write a little blurb on a note under some of the titles about what you like about X book or why you should read Y book. That would help new to horror people find what the store owner likes and move some titles. Overall a great spot if you know what you're looking for, and talking to the store...

This was the most unexpected and exciting experience I could have never asked for! The bookstore has impeccable horror bookshop vibes, complete with two REAL CASKETS displaying the books.

The selection was limited, but what they did have was cool. Plenty of rare and special editions, plus lost of used (but in great condition) mass market paperbacks of horror and sci-fi. Their special editions were so cool. They also had a few nonfiction books about famous horror authors like Lovecraft.

Also! The bookstore owner just casually walked over to the ORGAN and STARTED PLAYING!! He played this symphonic arrangement of dramatic crappy music, perfect for reading horror to, and it filled the whole store! I had...

We went to this place at 8;30pm and I have to say.... I went with my teen daughter and wasn't sure what I was going to walk into. It felt creepy being at night and the coffins in the pictures...... lol but I was pleasantly surprised! The owner was very nice and helpful and not creepy or weird at all! Lol he just loves and knows his books! I would definitely go there again if we need more creepy/ scary books! The more expensive and rare, showpiece books are in the caskets. I do wonder how he aquired those...
