Chanthal Harris launched Long Dark House, a new bookstore in Old Town Alexandria, earlier this month. The store caters to fans of horror and science fiction.
Harris developed her passion for these genres at a young age. She spent many afternoons watching “The Twilight Zone” and “Star Trek” with her father. These shows sparked her interest and eventually led to a deeper immersion in similar genre literature.
Over the years, Harris’s admiration for works like the Bobiverse series and Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” grew. This profound love inspired her to create a business dedicated to providing genre enthusiasts with a space to explore their interests.
