About Me


We are a small yet well established bookshop in Hobart, Tasmania.

We specialise in Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Paranormal Romance and Crime but we are also particularly fond of Fashion, Music, Art, Erotica and Cult Fiction (which is hard to define indeed but we throw stuff like Bukowski, Celine, Tartt etc in there).

Our dedicated, knowledgeable staff are always keen to help you find that book about that guy who did that thing that you can't remember the title of or who wrote it but the cover is blue with white bits.
