00:00Just outside of the Haunted Bookstore, which is the latest shop to open Stokes Crafts.
00:05Let's step inside to find out what it has to offer.
00:08Beginning of the year I kind of thought well I quite like working where I am
00:12but I don't love it and I'm not going to win the lottery all of a sudden.
00:17So I need to find a job that I would like doing like that I would want to go to every day.
00:25So I thought you know I'll open a bookshop and it's worked out quite well actually.
00:30So far so yeah.
00:32And how has the bookstore been received so far by the community?
00:36Oh it's been really good I've had a lot of support from the community in Stokes Craft
00:40and from the whole Bristol. I've had people messaging me and coming in from
00:44from elsewhere completely not even from Bristol so it's been it's been really lovely.
00:50What can customers expect?
00:53What do customers expect?
00:54Well we've got a big selection of fantasy,
00:57horror, witchcraft, especially witchcraft books.
01:00We've got quite a good selection of smut as well.
01:04Fantasy smut is very popular at the moment.
01:07We do have some kids books also.
01:12And then we've got lots of really cute items from UK mostly based wholesalers.
01:19I've tried to go for minorities like we've got candles, we've got spell candles,
01:28we've got incense burners that type of thing.
01:31So it's a big selection of lovely items.
01:34And there are these tarot cards that a Bristol artist made and they are amazing.
01:42They're just in the middle here.
01:44I think they're probably my favourite item that I've got.
01:47I'm gonna get some.
01:50Come down and get some witchcrafty items and hang out with us.
01:55We're all very friendly.
01:57I feel like there's already like a really big community behind the shop.
02:00All the volunteers, we've got a WhatsApp group and everything.
02:03So yeah, come join.
