JOIN THE WONDER

At The Spiral Bookcase, we think stories are the truest form of magick in the world. Whether it's an old fairytale in a new skin, a recently translated foreign work or a strange, skittering poem, we aim to highlight the kinds of stories that make you feel like you can step out of your skin for a moment. You know the kind: the ones that stay with you long after the bonfire has gone out.
