OPEN 12-6 Mon-Sat

(Masks Required)
We continue to require masks in order to accommodate the medical needs of our staff and patrons. We also continue to use MERV13 HVAC filters and a Corsi-Rosenthal box to reduce the spread of airborne viruses. #IndoorCleanAir just makes good sense; let's all do what we can to protect each other. For more information about our air quality measures, visit Covid Safe Network.

We are not currently buying books, though we accept gently used books as donations. (We'll resume buying when we've worked through our backlog.)

Social Media Update! The best place to find us is BlueSky. As of 2025 we do still have accounts on other platforms, but we are in the process of archiving the old posts and withdrawing from the sites due to changes in moderation practices that we do not support.

Can't find what you're looking for? We only have about 10,000 items on our website (out of >50K in the store), so just call or email, and we can check our stock for you.
Always feel free to call us at 319-337-2996, email infodesk at thehauntedbookshop.com, or drop us a message on social media.
We offer shipping, curbside pickup, and free local home delivery. If you're buying through the website, you can select one of these options at checkout.
