Evening House Books

🍻🍻🍻

Received a rejection, ordered some books from @eveninghouse.bsky.social, bread is proofing, reading while one kid naps and the other works through big emotions of building a fort. Day off. All vibes.

Picture of Still Alive by LJ Pemberton, alongside a margin with the book and author title, plus the Dublin Literary Award logo of three parapets. Still Alive was longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award in 2025 after being nominated by the DC Public Library System.

Happy Birthday, Still Alive!

Thank you, all you beautiful souls, who have helped this book find the right nightstand, book bag, and shelf to live in.

If you haven’t given the story of V a chance, get it today from @eveninghouse.bsky.social, @powells.bsky.social, or bookshop.org!

A book with a black cover and white letters reading Queens of the Abyss/ Lost Stories from the Women of the Weird/ Edited by Mike Ashley/British Library of the Weird sits on a brick hearth. Its illustration in black and orange centers a woman with piercing eyes wearing a hood over her longish hair. She is flanked by two women whose faces are only partially shown. They also seem to be wearing hoods. Above their heads are distinct hands and what seem to be interlocked fingers. At top right of the brick hearth are silver and purple Mardi Gras doubloons and two king cake babies resting their heads on a gold bean. It's Carnival time, y'all!

Books have always been my friends, but now they've started to arrive just when I need them. Thanks to @eveninghouse.bsky.social for carrying this book. As soon I saw it on their site, I knew it'd become mine.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

One of the most important tasks of literature is the demonstration of life. It doesn't matter whether the action is possible, what matters is what the imagery and characters inspire, what is communicated beyond barriers.

Read from around the world, read the real and unreal, grow your soul and mind

Thanks, John!

Supporting a small business too! 🖤 eveninghousebooks.com/product/amer...

More goodies from @eveninghouse.bsky.social. Took advantage of their nonfiction sale, and some author events this time around. Includes @kristinaten.bsky.social @leannareneehieber.bsky.social @lydiamillet.bsky.social

Glad they got to you safe and sound!! We're so thankful for you and for these fantastic authors ❤️

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most.

Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

Also, if you're not a Buffalonian, no worries.

We have have lots of friends outside Buffalo who dig the kind of books we carry, so we ship across the continental US!

We're a downtown shop, but our mission is to promote + sell amazing small press and weird and singular books near and far

We stocked up because the book is FIRE. Get it for the reader in your life who loves horror + folklore, who felt othered by the rules of youth, who played with glue to pass the time, who grew up never really believing or planning for a "future."

They'll find something magic in this one

You’re a rock star 🍻

Tell Me Yours, I'll Tell You Mine - Evening House Books A strange and sinister debut from Stephen Dixon Award winner Kristina Ten  The new kid in school discovers a diabolical presence in the depths of an English-language-learning CD-ROM. A desperate […]

If you haven’t had a chance to read Kristina’s work, you really should! It’s innovative, eerie and heartfelt. We even got signed copies with the cool S we all drew as kids without understanding its origins 😈

It was absolutely amazing having @kristinaten.bsky.social in the store tonight in conversation with @casella.bsky.social to discuss her debut collection, Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine. The conversation was so insightful + entertaining + made for a great night. Thank you to everyone who attended!

She'll be joined in conversation with @ancillaryreviewofbooks.org 's own @casella.bsky.social to discuss the horror genre, the themes of the book, horror's modern renaissance and more!

See you downtown!

TONIGHT at 7 PM!

We're gonna be hosting the fantastic @kristinaten.bsky.social, whose debut collection "I'll Tell You Yours, I'll Tell You Mine" explores childhood, bodily autonomy, games, the immigrant experience + more within these inventive, funny, creepy and entertaining short stories
