We had a fantastic Tarot swap last night, thank you to everyone who came out! We just restocked one of our most popular books - Mythical Creatures of Maine by Christopher Packard. And we want to give a special shout out to two wonderful visitors from Prince Edward Island who said such wonderful things about visiting the shop. They even came back by a second time to gift us with a Canadian $5 note. 🙏🏼You’re melting our spooky hearts!💀

We always have terrific folks dropping in the shop. A fellow author and creative is doing a book signing and show tomorrow in Rochester, NH. We wanted to help boost the signal.

Do you have a creative project, book, happening? Stop in and we are happy to share your cards, posters… or what have you. Our New England Curiosities roots run deep, and we know what it’s like pounding the pavement to see your vision become a reality. (Spooky visions always welcome.)
