We are currently accepting donations of high-quality used books to help stock the sale. We’re especially looking for:
Adult and Children’s Fiction
Romance
Narrative Nonfiction
Great backlist titles
Beautiful editions and books you’d be excited to pass along
Please bring books that are clean, intact, and in very good or excellent condition. We won’t be able to accept books with writing or highlighting, water damage, stains, strong odors, torn pages, or significant wear.

Joshua Blackwood Book Signing & Reading
The Wishing Man Book Signing & Reading
Join us for an author signing and reading to celebrate the release of The Wishing Man by Joshua Blackwood!
This event is free to attend, no tickets required. Stop by Atlas Bookshop from 6–8 p.m. on October 2nd to purchase your copy of The Wishing Man and get it personally signed!
About the Book:
“Reminiscent of a Queer Rosemary’s Baby, the story ramps up the creeping intensity all the way to its explosive end.”
—Mark Ruvolo, author of Waste Ground and Pieties: Expanded Edition
“Joshua Blackwood’s The Wishing Man is haunted by hereditary traumas where familial terror runs thicker than blood.”
—Wendy Dalrymple, author of Bed Rot Baby and Killer Summer
“A well-weaved web of details plus an emotional rollercoaster that builds up to an insane, but uncomfortable ride.”
—Phrique, author of Gig of the Damned
Portland, Oregon is a fresh start for Thomas. He’s writing a new novel, going to his therapy appointments, taking his medication as prescribed, and has even promised to leave the house for small periods of time. If he keeps it up, he might be able to convince his husband, Jason, that he’s not going to harm himself again. After the "incident” the year prior, Jason has been on edge trying to keep Thomas safe.
But after a single phone call from Jason’s long lost brother Erik, their carefully insulated life begins to crack open. Erik has been missing for eight years, and his sudden arrival in their home brings forth a flood of childhood memories and unanswered questions.
Over the course of one week, Erik’s behavior grows increasingly violent and as his grip on the household intensifies, Thomas realizes their guest isn’t who he’s pretending to be, nor is he their only problem. Erik’s arrival coincides with the strange creature that’s stalking Thomas around town, and whatever’s living in the chimney has been growing more aggressive by the day.
But Jason, thankful to have his brother back, refuses to believe Thomas, forcing him to take drastic measures. Gathering proof that Erik is drawing them into a deadly trap will require Thomas to confront the dangers that lie outside his small, isolated, comfort zone, risking both his life and marriage, but he’s willing to gamble it all to save the man he loves.

Melanie Muraviov Book Signing
Blackwood & Nightingale Book Signing
Join us for an author signing to celebrate the release of Blackwood & Nightingale by Melanie Muraviov!
This event is free to attend, no tickets required. Stop by Atlas Bookshop from 6–8 p.m. on September 4th to purchase your copy of Blackwood & Nightingale and get it personally signed!
About the Author:
Melanie Muraviov is the author of two books, Blackwood & Nightingale and My Quarter Life Crisis. Melanie is a Pacific Northwest-based writer and poet. Her poetry has been featured in multiple competitions, and she is the author of a poetry collection. A lifelong storyteller, she is now debuting her first fantasy novel. When she is not writing, she enjoys reading and spending time with her family.
About the Book:
In the quiet, historic town of Andover, Massachusetts, magic isn’t a myth—it’s a legacy.
Elara Nightingale has just returned home to claim her place in one of the most powerful witch bloodlines in existence. At twenty-five, she is destined to inherit a magic unlike any before her, during the town’s most sacred tradition: the All Hallows Eve celebration her family has led for generations.
But something is wrong.
Her power is awakening . . . and it isn’t like the others.
While the Nightingales are known for their brilliance in light and healing magic, Elara is haunted by something darker—something ancient. Shadows whisper to her. Move for her. Call to her. Even her mother, one of the most formidable witches alive, cannot explain it.
As Elara searches for answers, she meets a man who should be nothing more than a passing moment.
Aslan Blackwood is a grumpy mechanic with a haunted past and a talent for staying unnoticed. But beneath the surface lies a dangerous secret—one that ties him to a bloodline that has every reason to hate hers. A century-old betrayal. A family torn apart. And a truth buried in blood.
Their connection is instant. Magnetic. Forbidden.
Because what Elara doesn’t know could destroy everything—
Her family’s power was never a gift.
It was stolen.
As All Hallows Eve approaches, long-buried secrets begin to surface, and the truth behind the Nightingale legacy threatens to unravel the very foundation of their world. With time running out, Elara must choose between the life she’s always known . . . and the darkness calling her name.
And when the truth is finally revealed—
She may be the most powerful witch in existence.
Or the most dangerous one.
