Bucket O’ Blood Books & Records

Tucked into Avondale, this independent shop functions as a dedicated center for horror-focused literature and media, ranging from vintage paperbacks to diverse subgenres including queer, indigenous, and femme perspectives. Beyond the prose, the shelves hold a curated selection of vinyl records, Blu-rays, and 4K discs, with an impressive comic collection that spans everything from manga to niche recipe books. The atmosphere is defined by this specific obsession with all things spooky, bolstered by a staff that actively helps visitors track down elusive titles. While the shop is firmly rooted in its niche horror and sci-fi identity, the inventory extends comfortably beyond those boundaries to include a broader array of titles and music.
