A rainy November Friday might mean an adventure into downtown Buffalo is hard to commit to, but feel free to shop with us from the comfort of your own home on our website, where we parse through the wide sea of new releases to find the best and strangest reads: eveninghousebooks.com

Also, another friendly reminder: if you're an indie author and want to do a book signing/book talk here in Buffalo, NY, we're building out our events calendar for the next few months and would be happy to chat with you about hosting! Our events have been really lovely so far

At Evening House, here in downtown Buffalo, our mission is to connect readers with great literature from small presses, from writers around the world, to cut through the algorithmic noise and get you the books that will electrify + inspire. Come visit us in-person or online at eveninghousebooks.com

Get yourself an independent bookstore where you just tell them what you like and they send you cool books. My choice is @eveninghouse.bsky.social.

This store is pure magic, and so are the incredible talents who run it! What a wonderful place to be!! 😍 We even had a ghost in attendance; a lovely (but empty) rocking chair began to rock of its own accord! Definitely visit this *spirited* store!

Excellent event at @eveninghouse.bsky.social with @leannareneehieber.bsky.social! I’m excited to read America’s Most Gothic, and I’ll definitely head back to downtown Buffalo when I need a new read.

Thank you to @leannareneehieber.bsky.social for the INCREDIBLE event and book signing tonight. Leanna is a force of nature, making dark history come alive through a passionate understanding and appreciation of the gothic tradition. Thank you Leanna & thank you to everyone who took part tonight ❤️

Dearest Buffalo, NY! Tonight! Let's talk Gothic tropes and Ghost Stories! They have A LOT in common and I have THOUGHTS for you! (and my own personal ghost stories to share) Let's go!!! 👻

Buffalo! Today AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC became an INSTANT USA Today Bestseller! Let's celebrate that fact with some ghost stories tomorrow! 🖤👻🖤

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

REMINDER: This Thursday night in Downtown Buffalo, we've got a book signing & literary chat with @leannareneehieber.bsky.social for AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC! Come hang out, grab a book and set your October up right with gothic history & good vibes: eveninghousebooks.com/event/leanna...

We're so excited to be hosting Leanna here in Downtown Buffalo on October 9th! Come dive deep into the haunted history and gothic lore of America with Leanna as our guide. More details below!! eveninghousebooks.com/event/leanna...

Hey, check out this lovely bookstore in Buffalo, NY! Thrilled to add the wonderful @eveninghouse.bsky.social to my tour schedule! 10/9, 7pm, let's examine how the tropes of Gothic literature crop up all over haunted history! Come discuss AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC: eveninghousebooks.com/event/leanna...

Just sharing the news here that our newly redesigned website is live! Amanda's been hard at work over the past few weeks rebuilding it from the ground up. It was a wild undertaking for 1.25 people (Amanda did most of it, I helped a lil) but it is gorgeous + great: eveninghousebooks.com

It’s a slow hot Friday in Buffalo and I’m manning the shop at @eveninghouse.bsky.social! It’s nice to just get to soak up the space as our collection grows. Our website is a little behind but we’re working on getting it updated if you want to grab a good book even from afar: eveninghousebooks.com

Not to slag on these anonymous bookstores who are returning my book, but @powells.bsky.social and @eveninghouse.bsky.social sell copies of Still Alive like hotcakes—so might be a skill issue?

Next week we’re going to play host to a one-act rendition of Cato, a revitalization of the ancient play by @alexlivy.bsky.social! Psyched to have Alex and his band of performers in the shop evoking the fall of Rome and the cyclical history of empire

Not technically a Buck Bezos (I love you, Alive Girl) purchase, but still came in from @eveninghouse.bsky.social during Prime week; and the sale is still going on, so you should definitely check it out, because 10% off and helping out an indie bookstore run by amazing humans. BUT look at this haul.

Hey y'all, at Evening House this week we're running an automatic 10% off your entire purchase to make shopping indie more appealing than doing so at the Big Box Site. We're a small new bookstore cultivating a great space to find quality literature, offline and on. Check us out! (link below)

Hey! We're turning one month old in the storefront this Monday and we're looking to the future! Whether you're a Buffalo local or a visiting publisher or author planning a tour or reading, we're opening our space up for events, & now there's an interest form you can fill out on the site❤️

trans kids deserve so much more than what this wretched world has to offer

Friendly reminder that at Evening House, we've got a great selection of books for readers seeking the strange, surreal and singular. Come visit us in downtown Buffalo or shop with us online! Our site was built in-house to be fun to browse & help you find yr next summer read :) eveninghousebooks.com

At Evening House, we've got a host of new releases, June House Selects, Books With Buzz & a Pride Month collection! Swing by the shop anytime this week 12-7pm or browse our sexy, hand-crafted site at eveninghousebooks.com. Each purchase helps keep the Evening House dream afloat! ❤️

Hanging out at @eveninghouse.bsky.social today

We're officially back open tomorrow in our new storefront space (still small & still growing, but realer and comfier than before!)

Got books from @eveninghouse.bsky.social that I didn't already have from some of the authors who blurbed @johnchrostek.com Boxcutters (that is a mouthful). The Ghosts of Blaubart Mansion and Glass Stories by @ivygrimes.bsky.social and Haunted Ecologies by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social.

This hasn't been announced yet, but I'm starting an email interview series for KickstART Farmington. @johnchrostek.com is one of the guests. We aren't even done yet, but this is so good, I'm sharing it early. For context, they're opening the bookstore below. Then, see the thread below.

Weigh in on the least scary ghost story of the season, The Ghosts of Blaubart Mansion! If you still need a copy, links below.

It’s a strange shape, and there’s still a lot more shelving and stock to get before it feels full but we’re working on it! It’s so exciting having a door and window! Any online purchase at eveninghousebooks.com helps us with this big transition! Thanks either way, friends ❤️🖤

Got a sweet manifesto along with a book I ordered from @eveninghouse.bsky.social. Go shop there. They’re great!

Copping J Horror bangers from my new fav indie bookshop @eveninghouse.bsky.social 🔥 We need a lot of things to go well in 2025, and Evening House thriving is one of them. Go snag an expertly curated read from John & Amanda!

IBD was an amazing day for us, and is going to help us grow into our slightly larger street-side location! Thanks so, so much to everyone who takes part in IBD, on the bookselling and book buying sides, for building such a wonderful community 🖤

Planning to hit up Clevo Books in Cleveland for some lit in translation…and also (onlineishly) @eveninghouse.bsky.social

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! I’ll be at @eveninghouse.bsky.social with Amanda today. It’s our first IBD at the store and our last day in the little room suite we’re in now before we move to a (still cozy & small but def larger) storefront space in the same building!

Here's one! @eveninghouse.bsky.social in Buffalo, NY which also has a beautiful online storefront with book recommendations www.eveninghousebooks.com

Evening House is legit. You should click around their website and buy some stuff. Sweet design. Sweet recommendations.

Big news! IBD will be one of our last days in our little suite, because we’re preparing for a move to the front of the building facing out onto Main Street!!

Thank you so much @johnchrostek.com @eveninghouse.bsky.social for the book recommendations!! Also incredibly rad sticker, I immediately put it on my water bottle

sharing some thoughts about IBD ❤️🖤

Sharing our Earth Day picks below, all of which can be found on the site at eveninghousebooks.com or at our physical space in downtown Buffalo!

Don't let me terrible photo distract from the glorious book haul I got from @eveninghouse.bsky.social. FEAST YOUR EYES. Again. It has been a good week of book mail for me. You all, support indie bookstores!

Corey's book is a phenomenal collection of eco-horror built from a place of empathy for people but rage at the systems that are endangering our world. He taps into the paranormal, the cosmic horror and personal drama with consistent, deft skill. Buy it from us or elsewhere, just go check it out!

Fun tip about browsing on our site: If you find a book you like, you'll find underneath it some subjects & categories that describe the book. If you click through, you'll find all the books in our collection that fit that theme, genre, style or more. It gets pretty specific + it's there for you

Saw Am***n is offering a big sale during Indie Bookstore week 🙃 Please support indie bookstores! You've got local shops, specialized shops popping up for specific reading cultures (romance + horror + kids), you've got better distributors like Bookshop and Asterism, there's so many better options

Go to this bookstore! It’s downtown Buffalo near the library and it’s brilliant.

Hey y'all! Just letting you know we've added a sidelines (stickers, totes, etc.) section to the website. As we grow, we intend to produce more merch and acquire other sidelines, but everything you see here is an Amanda original created over the last few months! eveninghousebooks.com/product-cate...

Got my order from @eveninghouse.bsky.social !! 2 novellas. The Herrera book has been on my list for a bit.
