Old Haunts Bookshop will open later this fall in Granite Bay, Calif., the Sacramento Business Journal reported.
The 928-square-foot bookstore, at 8789 Auburn Folsom Rd., Suite C, will sell new titles and a mix of remainders. Owner Ryan Hoyt, a self-published fantasy and horror author and owner of Machete & Quill Press, will focus primarily on adult fiction, though there will be some adult nonfiction and a small children's section as well. Alongside books, Hoyt will carry stickers, bookmarks, stationery, loose-leaf teas, locally made art, and more.
Hoyt told the Sacramento Business Journal that although there was a great bookstore in Folsom, Calif., "we don't have one of our own here in Granite Bay." On the store's Instagram page, he explained that the store's name evokes "places you remember fondly and yearn to revisit. Think of it also as the feelings you get from a favorite book, or that longing to go back to a fictional world that you love. We hope to bring you that feeling in Old Haunts Bookshop."
Hoyt hopes to open in November, in time for the start of the holiday shopping season.
