About this Event
Long Dark House Preview Night
Come take a look around before we officially open our doors.
Join us for a casual evening of books, conversation, and community as we celebrate the opening of Long Dark House, Alexandria's new independent bookstore dedicated to horror, science fiction, and strange stories.
This is not a formal program—feel free to stop by anytime during the evening, browse the shelves, meet fellow readers, and get your first look at the space we've been working so hard to bring to life.

📚 Early access to explore the bookstore before opening day
🖤 A first look at our curated collection of horror, science fiction, and strange stories
🕯️ Access to our shared retail space with Madame Coco Emporium, featuring artisan chocolates and other curiosities
🥂 Light bites and refreshments
🎟️ One complimentary raffle ticket upon arrival for a chance to win special prizes, including a one-year Long Dark Society Membership and other bookish surprises
✨ The opportunity to meet fellow readers, writers, and supporters who helped make Long Dark House possible
