Episode 255: Jason Mellow (Co-owner of The Twisted Spine - New York City's First Horror and Dark Literature Book Store)

from Who's There? A Podcast About Horror Fans · host Allison Broder

Show Notes:A few weeks ago, I sat down with one of the co-owners of the Twisted Spine, Jason Mellow. Twisted Spine is New York City’s first book store for exclusively horror and dark literature. Jason told me about his first experience seeing a horror movie in theatres when he was 7 years old and how it scared him. He then ended up first getting into horror literature and realized that he was a horror fan. Later on we get into how he and his partner Lauren got the idea to open The Twisted Spine, how they designed the store, and how they went about deciding what authors to stock on the shelves and so much more. Jason’s Socials: The Twisted Spine: https://www.twistedspinebooks.com/ The Twisted Spine on IG: https://www.instagram.com/twistedspinebooks Who’s There?
