A much-anticipated "witchy" bookstore has opened in Stokes Croft today (September 27).
The Haunted Bookshop at 43 Stokes Croft, BS1 3PY has been very well received by the community as it opened today with glasses of prosecco and mushroom-shaped biscuits for visitors.
The store offers a wide selection of fantasy, horror and witchcraft books, including ‘fantasy smut’, and cute items from UK wholesalers like candles, spell candles, incense burners and tarot cards.
At the moment there are no plans for events at the store until the downstairs space is finished being sorted out. Monika will also be at the Bristol Horror Festival next month with a stall.

00:00Just outside of the Haunted Bookstore, which is the latest shop to open Stokes Crafts.
00:05Let's step inside to find out what it has to offer.
00:08Beginning of the year I kind of thought well I quite like working where I am
00:12but I don't love it and I'm not going to win the lottery all of a sudden.
00:17So I need to find a job that I would like doing like that I would want to go to every day.
00:25So I thought you know I'll open a bookshop and it's worked out quite well actually.
00:30So far so yeah.
00:32And how has the bookstore been received so far by the community?
00:36Oh it's been really good I've had a lot of support from the community in Stokes Craft
00:40and from the whole Bristol. I've had people messaging me and coming in from
00:44from elsewhere completely not even from Bristol so it's been it's been really lovely.
00:50What can customers expect?
00:53What do customers expect?
00:54Well we've got a big selection of fantasy,
00:57horror, witchcraft, especially witchcraft books.
01:00We've got quite a good selection of smut as well.
01:04Fantasy smut is very popular at the moment.
01:07We do have some kids books also.
01:12And then we've got lots of really cute items from UK mostly based wholesalers.
01:19I've tried to go for minorities like we've got candles, we've got spell candles,
01:28we've got incense burners that type of thing.
01:31So it's a big selection of lovely items.
01:34And there are these tarot cards that a Bristol artist made and they are amazing.
01:42They're just in the middle here.
01:44I think they're probably my favourite item that I've got.
01:47I'm gonna get some.
01:50Come down and get some witchcrafty items and hang out with us.
01:55We're all very friendly.
01:57I feel like there's already like a really big community behind the shop.
02:00All the volunteers, we've got a WhatsApp group and everything.
02:03So yeah, come join.
