Is there a horror section in your bookstore?

You are so civilized. You go to bookstores. I can’t remember the last time I was in a bookstore. I used to go to bookstores many times a year. But now the last time was when I took my daughter to get a book for vacation (I got one as well—the last book I read).

My bookstore is Amazon and they, of course, have a horror section, although I’ve never set foot in it, since I don’t like horror. I have set foot in the science fiction section. In fact, that’s about the only section I ever go to.

The bookstores in Philly probably do have horror sections, although even when I was going to book stores, I wouldn’t know, since I’d never set foot in that section. Hell. I get creeped out thinking that someone might be looking through the window at me!

And then there was the time in Barnes & Noble when I walked past the horror section and felt this inexplicable coldness in the air. No joke. They had some kind of display that involved dry ice. Ok. It was only inexplicable for a moment, but still…..

Nope. I have the same as you. Also live in a small town.

I live in a town so small, a tortoise broke the speed limit when it farted.
No bookstore here, we do have a library though & as far as I can remember, there is a section on horror, tatty old crap ones, but they’re there.

Yeah my city has the largest independently owned bookstore in the U.S, one entire floor is dedicated to fantasy and horror

@rockfan Yeah, Montréal has big ass book stores like that too. Hell it would take a whole afternoon sifitng through a section if you don’t ask the clerk if they have the book or not. Well they usually put them in order but I’m freakin’ lazy…

@wundayatta Haha lol @ the ice display. Nice move on their part putting it by the horror section lol.

My has town has Barnes and Noble and I think they used to have a horror section but then got rid of it. So I just go on Amazon to get my horror fix.

One of my favorite book stores is a section in a famous hardware store. And yes, they have a horror section.

Nope not even in our Barnes and Noble. We did at another bookstore, but they shut down around the time B&N moved in.

Yeah, but they call it “teen romance.” Oh wait, I thought you asked about a “horrible” section (e.g., Twilight). Yes, my bookstore has a horror section. I just saw it today (it’s a rather large Barnes and Noble).

I hardly ever go to physical bookstores anymore, but I seem to remember having to find King’s books in the Mystery section at one store. Weird. My library doesn’t have genre sections like that at all (they do have separate sections for YA and Children). Just one big Fiction section, alphabetically by author. I wish they would break it out into genres to make similar books easier to find. :/

Yes – but my bookstore happens to be the mother of all bookstores, the Strand.
