Long Dark House, a new bookstore in Old Town Alexandria, opened this month offering a haven for fans of horror and science fiction. The store is the creation of Chanthal Harris, who was inspired by her childhood experiences.
Harris’s fascination with these genres began at an early age. She fondly recalls watching classic shows such as “The Twilight Zone” and “Star Trek” with her father, which sparked her lifelong interest. Over the years, her passion grew as she delved into novels like the Bobiverse series and Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.”
This deep-seated love for science fiction and horror culminated in the opening of Long Dark House. The bookstore exclusively features titles in these genres, catering to enthusiasts who share Harris’s passion.
Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, Long Dark House stands as a unique destination for genre lovers seeking a curated collection of thrilling and imaginative works.
