Revived reads for restless souls
Horror readers know what it’s like to love a genre that’s often overlooked. In fact, many bookstores don’t even have a dedicated horror section! That’s why we created Secondhand Spooks, a Charlotte-based pop-up bookstore that is devoted entirely to selling used horror books. From the recognizable classics to the more unusual and disturbing—our collection has a little of everything!
Our Books
We source our inventory through library sales, online marketplaces, and antique/resale shops, curating each book by hand for quality and interest. We rotate through our inventory as books are purchased, so make sure to come back later to see what’s new!
Icons of Horror
We carry a mix of classic and contemporary works by horror legends such as Stephen King, Peter Straub, John Saul, Anne Rice, Dean Koontz, Shirley Jackson, Bentley Little, and many more!
Paperbacks from Hell
Vintage horror paperbacks from the ’70s–’90s featuring famously wild covers, outrageous concepts, and cult-favorite stories that defined an era of unfiltered horror publishing.
Young Adult
Featuring horror classics like R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps and Mary Downing Hahn. Perfect for young readers and nostalgia seekers alike.
Blind Date with
a Used Horror Book
Take a chance on the unknown. Our ‘Blind Date with a Used Horror Book’ features hand-wrapped, carefully selected horror titles in great condition.
