Hey y’all - we have new hours 🤗 Now you can hang out with us until 9pm just about every day! What’re you waiting for? Come get your coffee on ☕️ and find a new favorite book while you’re at it 📖

This week’s #NewReleases bloomed on our shelves 🌻 Which one (or ones?) are you most looking forward to taking home?

Last call for preorders with the “Welcome to Proofrock!” Visitor’s Kit on the latest novel by the “ @jordanpeele of horror literature,” Stephen Graham Jones! 😱

Order your copy before July 31st to review a "Camp Blood" keychain, heart and chainsaw enamel pin, and a "Welcome to Proofrock" postcard set (check our story to take a closer look) 🤗

✨ Synopsis ✨

Shirley Jackson meets *Friday the 13th* in My Heart Is a Chainsaw, written by the author of *The Only Good Indians* Stephen Graham Jones, called “a literary master” by National Book Award winner Tananarive Due and “one of our most talented living writers” by Tommy Orange.

Alma Katsu calls *My Heart Is a Chainsaw* “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.

Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies…especially the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood actually starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls us into her dizzying, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold.

Yet, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream, a surprising and intimate portrait emerges…a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl beneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry, yes, but also a girl who easily cries, fiercely loves, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feelings are too big for her body. *My Heart Is a Chainsaw* is her story, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph .

Sundays spent with laughter, sweets, and caffeine are the best Sundays 😁 What’re y’all up to today?
