There are some things in life that you just can’t ignore. One thing recently for me is Bucket o’ Blood bookstore. This wild establishment specializes in horror novels and horror-vinyl. It has anything a blood sucking vampire or misunderstood gothic kid could ask for. It’s one part macabre library, one part vinyl depot, and perhaps most importantly, a community hub where people can get together to enjoy the simpler thing in life- like discussing Zombie Apocalypses during their book club events or live music on specific weeks.

If you’re a Chicagoan, please feel free to stop by (3128 N Elston Avenue, Chicago IL 60618). Their awesome selection of novels will leave your head spinning and speaking in tongues. Not in the Chicago area? No problem. Check out their online Discogs page for great music and more (https://www.discogs.com/seller/BucketOBlood/profile).

Am I a Chicago lover? Of course. Am I also a fan of all things creepy? Well, yeah. But, it’s not to say that I’m alone. Remember, it’s places like this that keep weirdos like us happy, so please stop by or visit online.
