This shop is an absolute gem! It's cozy and curated with a wide selection of books and gift items related to true crime and interesting oddities. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about local crime and has done tours and has a podcast. One of my favorite parts about the store? Two shop cats! For one of my visits, the cats let me look but not touch...until I bought something. Then one of them couldn't get enough attention. I think they are very well trained! Love this store!

FINALLY made it in to this store lol. Been trying to get here for a while. I was passing by on my way back across the state and decided to make a pit stop lol. Said pit stop did not disappoint! The shop is split in 2 sections-books and not books/gift type things. They had stuffies, rocks, stickers, pins, candles, and just so many things. They had these stuffie organs. I was hoping there was a gallbladder one bc I just had mine out a few months ago but sadly there was not one. And the books. Omg, how does one choose just one when they all look like great reads?! I narrowed it down between a couple books. Still couldn't decide so I had the black cat help me lol. I honestly cant wait to come by the shop again!

I love Deadtime! I made my first visit in January and go at least once a month. Whenever I have family over from out of town, I take them to Deadtime. I love the store’s vibe and they have cats! They have a little gift shop as well and I bought the cutest cat skeleton hair clip and matching earrings. I started going to the monthly book club and it’s so much fun! Jen is so nice and knowledgeable!

Perfect place to stop if you're into true crime, mysteries, thrillers, horror, and local history. They also have a large collection of jewelry, stuffed animals, pins, magnets, water bottles, puzzles, figurine sets, and even kids' books. The owner is kind and knowledgeable, and her kitties (assistants) help her keep an eye on the shop.
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
