"Some books are to be tasted, others swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested."
– Sir Francis Bacon

Who am I you ask? I am the shopkeeper for Bloody Rare Books. I have lived within these walls and acted as the guardian of these great works of literature for what seems ages. Time moves differently here, as you will soon discover.

Like the revered Sir Francis believed, at Bloody Rare Books we are firm believers in the whole book experience. For us collecting books is about embracing the work including the thrill and historical relevance of holding a first edition of our favorite titles.

If you’re new to collecting, you can approach the mansion without trepidation. We have step-by-step hints on how to collect and more importantly, how to care for your books as well as suggestions for must-have titles. Why Collect?.

For our more experienced bibliophiles, we offer an easy-to-navigate library ranging from science fiction, horror, fantasy, mystery and true crime all waiting for the right owner. Have you been combing book shows and online sellers for that near perfect first edition copy of ‘Dune’, by Frank Herbert? Click on Science Fiction to view our complete list of available titles.

Whatever you seek, I am here as your guide. Should you have questions or need more information, simply scroll over my shadow or send me your Want and I’ll do whatever is in my power to be of assistance.
