Here are some V.C. Andrews spookies for Th*****me Thursday- all 3 with the keyhole covers & unsettling stepback illustrations her books are known for. V.C. herself only published 7 books by the time she passed in 1986. But there are over 50 titles credited to her & penned by ghostwriters. Chock full of large Victorian estates & dark family secrets, these books are perfect for the season. Available in store now!

Coffee, Tea or Me appeared in 1967 as the salacious & slightly steamy confessions of 2 airline stewardesses. Attributed to Trudy Baker & Rachel Jones but proved to be ghostwritten, the seminal work spawned several sequels & countless ripoffs. For your Th*****me Thursday this week we have 3 of the latter available in store.

It's about that time, idn't it? Can we set you up with an uncommon Goosebumps trilogy for the season? Goosebumps is the 2nd bestselling book series of all time. Before the series exploded, R.L. Stine wrote Fear Street books for a slightly older audience as well as authoring a couple excellent G.I. Joe themed choose-your-own-adventure type books. But Goosebumps hit that sweet spot, because nobody appreciates a good scare like a kid does. Happy Halloween season, & happy Th*****me Thursday! Books available in shop.

Check out this huge liquor store receipt- bigger than the book it was found in! The date checks out. In 1988, you could buy a case of Bud for 11.59 and a new hardcover copy of Beloved for 18.95. Five years later, Toni Morrison would become the first Black woman to win the Nobel Prize for literature, in large part due to the reputation of this novel.

Available in store now! #1988

🎶 "Follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park, and listen to the winds of change." 🎶 Gorky Park, Moscow's Central Park, is indeed named for Russian author Maxim Gorky. Gorky was praised early in his career for supporting the Bolsheviks and criticized later for his loyalty to the Soviet Union, specifically his advocacy of so called transformation through labor during Stalin's purges. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn called Gorky "an apologist for executioners." Nevertheless, his work continues to be read & appreciated.

This attractive set of his autobiographical trilogy is available in store. Happy Th*****me Thursday!

I'm Blakely St. James but you can call me Bo**er. Besides these titles, you can also read about Christina's desire, passion, torment, & surrender. Check the vintage B. Dalton price tag! These were published in the late 1970s by Pl***oy, & they would make Sarah J. Maas blush for sure. Available in store. Happy Th*****me Thursday to you & yours!

Got Mom covering the front counter today- calling upon the cashier skills she learned at Sears many moons ago. She's out from Kansas to celebrate her birthday. Thanks for everything, Mom! There'd be no Kilgore Books without you.
