Long Dark House, a new bookstore in Old Town Alexandria, opened earlier this month. It serves as a sanctuary for fans of horror and science fiction genres. Chanthal Harris, the store’s owner, shares a deep passion for these genres.
Harris’s journey into horror and science fiction began with watching series like “The Twilight Zone” and “Star Trek” alongside her father. This introduction sparked her enduring interest. Over the years, her fascination grew as she delved into books like the Bobiverse series and Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.”
This lifelong love led Harris to create a space exclusively focused on horror and science fiction literature. Long Dark House aims to be a haven for fellow genre enthusiasts.
