Order Books online and Support our store through Bookshop.org

Despite our ever so tall shelves, we still can’t fit all the books we want to stock at the store.

Luckily, we have Bookshop.org for all your online ordering needs and the proceeds from book sales go to indie bookstores like us.

Yes, for reals.

Even better, if you choose us when you “Choose a Bookstore” on their site, we get the whole sale, as opposed to that money being shared out equally to all indie bookstores.

We’ve created some lists of books we love, so take a gander, order a book or two, and they’ll be delivered right to your door!

Did we mention they have eBooks too?

Show your love of all things books with our cozy merch!

Did you know we have WOLFE & KRON MERCH ! ? !

Order directly from our online merch page and have your size delivered to your doorstep. Is that cozy, or what?!?

YES. THESE make excellent gifts.

but you will also want one for you.

LGBTQ+ & BIPOC AUTHORS

SPECULATIVE fiction

is our specialty

We have a curated assortment of just about everything, be it Poetry or Memoirs, Pop-Science, the Classics, or Literature. But our true love is Genre Fiction, particularly Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Speculative Fiction, and Mystery.

Yes, we love our Romance (and Romantasy),Manga, Thrillers, Horror, and everything else in between, but our hearts belong to the dragons and the stars are ever our destination.

Looking for something specific, maybe that particular edition with the cover art you remember?

Or maybe you can’t remember the author –or title– but have a vague recollection of the storyline?

We LOVE that kind of challenge, so send it our way!
