Skull-Face Books & Vinyl Record Store ·$$

The only bookstore in the world curated for the best in deep, dark, weird, or hard books and music. Tons of categories -- classic and modern fiction, science-fiction/fantasy, true crime, horror, counterculture, surf/skate, fashion, architecture, art, photo, design, music, film, travel, poetry, mythology, philosophy, religion, history, pop culture, and more -- but all on the edgier, geekier, darker side of things. If you're any kind of outsider, geek, rebel, weirdo, or just a rad person, you'll be in heaven.
