About The Three Shadows Bookshop

The Three Shadows is a small, obsessive corner of the literary world. We are an antiquarian book shop specializing in first editions and collectible books in Horror, Mystery, and Science Fiction.

The shop takes its name from the three genres at its heart — Horror as the first shadow, Mystery as the second, Science Fiction as the third. Within those shadows we focus on the books that serious collectors pursue: first printings, small press limited editions, signed copies, and titles.

All books are personally examined, and described. Condition grading follows established antiquarian standards. Every listing reflects what is actually in hand, not what the seller hopes is true.

We also carry a secondary selection of antiquarian and out-of-genre material — historical curiosities, militaria, signed non-fiction, and the occasional unexpected find — because a good bookshop should have room for the book that doesn't quite belong anywhere else.
Inquiries are welcome.

If you are looking for a specific title, author, or publisher, contact us at inquiries@thethreeshadows.com. 
We maintain a want list for collectors and will reach out when the right book becomes available.
