New Horror Bookshop Sells Out in Casper, Wyoming

With Halloween approaching, critics and booksellers are promoting a wide range of horror reading options this season, from new releases and rediscovered classics to comics and short-form scares. Roundups and reviews highlight writers such as Stephen Graham Jones and Lindsay Wong alongside enduring titles like Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, Josh Malerman’s Bird Box and R.L. Stine’s middle‑grade series. In Casper, Wyoming, Trinity Beck’s new Dreadful Bookshop — a used-store turned horror hub — sold out at its opening, illustrating strong local appetite for the genre. Comic outlets note standout horror coming from non‑Marvel/DC lines, citing series like Harrow County and Afterlife with Archie. Reviewers and small presses are also spotlighting inventive contemporary novels such as Emily A. Weedon’s Hemo Sapiens and Caitlin Starling’s recent medical-horror work while reissuing forgotten 20th‑century classics.
