Anna Lyons has found her lair with Wicked Basement Books, a one-stop-shop for horror literature.

With just under 100 books in stock at any given time, Lyon prefers to source her titles through thrifting, as well as purchasing publishers’ overstock for newer releases, which is both eco-friendly and more affordable for customers, she notes. “Then, additionally, I was really passionate about it being sustainable, so I chose to go the secondhand route. I just love thrifting, and I’m very concerned about the climate crisis,” she shares.
“I ended up talking to people and giving people curated recommendations. It was so cool to have that in-person community,” Lyon says. “Honestly, I think I was a very, very anxious child who could not avoid thinking about the dark things in life. I just gravitated toward horror,” she confesses, adding that being scared stupid after watching the 2002 filmin a friend’s basement — and not dropping dead after seven days — gave her a newfound appreciation for the genre. It also inspired the name of her shop.
While Wicked Basement Books is her “millennial side hustle” whenever she’s not holding down her regular desk job during the workweek, Lyon is excited to see just how big her little shop of horrors will grow, even if that means it eventually escapes the confines of the basement.
