A Dark Newcomer to Manayunk's Literary Scene Takes Shape for Halloween
Thrillerdelphia, the city's first horror and thriller bookshop, has made its mark on Main Street. The store's eerie atmosphere is set to transport customers into a world of spine-tingling terror, as it boasts black walls, ceilings, and floors that are painted a rich dark walnut.
This foreboding façade mirrors the owners' passion for the dark genre, with co-founders Tina Long and Anthony embracing their individual tastes in horror and psychological thrillers. Their bookshop promises to blend genres, drawing from authors like Stephen King, R.L. Stine, and Jonathan Maberry, alongside Freida McFadden, Alex North, and Riley Sager.
Tina Long's preference for the psychologically complex sets her apart from romance aficionado Cupid's Bookshop owner (which ironically resides on Grape Street). "Sometimes you need a palate cleanser after all that smut," she quips. Her eclectic tastes are shared with fellow book lover Anthony, who co-founded Thrillerdelphia.
With its outdoor reading area and potential for author signings, book clubs, and even horror-themed movie screenings, Thrillerdelphia will also collaborate with nearby Lincoln Mill to create an unforgettable experience for customers. While its schedule is set up around the spooky season, there's no denying the sense of excitement brewing in Manayunk.
The store will be open from Tuesday to Sunday, but Mondays are reserved for "plotting" – a clear indication that Thrillerdelphia is on the cusp of unleashing an unholy fusion of terror and suspense upon its patrons. As Halloween approaches, fans of horror and thrillers should prepare themselves for an unforgettable journey through the darker corners of literature.

The fact that Tina and Anthony are blending genres is genius, you can already imagine the conversations between fans of different sub-genres getting lit 
. I'm also hyped about their outdoor reading area and author signings - who wouldn't want to meet their favorite thriller authors in person? It's interesting how they're collaborating with Lincoln Mill, it'll be awesome to see what kind of events they come up with. Mondays are already reserved for "plotting" - I love the enthusiasm behind that
