SHADOWCRAFT TALES     |   home                

      
  THE STAFF HERE CHERISHES TWO THINGS ABOVE ALL:
   HORROR/FANTASY LITERATURE,  AND RATS. TO  KNOW THESE
   WELL IS TO NEVER  BE THE SAME AGAIN.
    From our own experience, searching through dark and dusty used book
   stores and out of the way libraries for the classic works of imagination is
   very much like embarking on a treasure hunt. We have discovered many
    of our favorite novels in the shadowy depths of silverfish-riddled boxes
    and high on warped wood shelves  alongside tomes of a completely
    different nature. Often, finding a rare gem is as memorable an experience
    as reading it. If you have any personal tales of bizarre bookstores and
    unearthing classic fantasy or horror, email us!
    So, we all have our own list of treasures. Here are some of ours, but
    again, we welcome comments from you and would like to add your all
    time favorites to the list. Send them in......

    These are in a random order, but all mentioned have special places in our
     twisted souls.....
