E214: Twisted Spine - Indie Bookshop Spotlight

 


Today I’m launching a new series that features Independent Book Stores, and I’ve invited Lauren Komer from the Twisted Spine to kick things off! We chat about who they are, their inspiration to open a Horror bookstore, and we learn about their programs and books their customers clamor for. It’s a fun peek into an important part of the book world. 

The Twisted Spine is located at 306 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY 11211
