Deadtime Stories: True Crime and Other Books

A wonderfully curated store! We visited on Mother’s Day weekend, and the display was on point - even made my husband chuckle a little. Shelves are well organized and creatively titled/labeled. You’ll love wandering the shelves if you’re into true crime, horror, non-fiction, local, and anything in that realm, but there’s more tucked in there as well. It’s always a good time when we can make it out that way.

Perfect place to stop if you're into true crime, mysteries, thrillers, horror, and local history. They also have a large collection of jewelry, stuffed animals, pins, magnets, water bottles, puzzles, figurine sets, and even kids' books. The owner is kind and knowledgeable, and her kitties (assistants) help her keep an eye on the shop.

Random stop Crazy we didn't realize this store was here! Super cool and you may think you find something based on the name but not true my friends! I took lots of pictures to drive that home Spider lovers must come The owner is awesome to chat with She knows her stuff! Great date day destination

My favorite spooky bookstore and more! The atmosphere is fun and friendly! They have an amazing selection and will gladly special order specific titles you’re looking for. They also have the most adorable shop cats around! Pay them a visit! You won’t be disappointed!

I absolutely love this book store! They also carry unique gifts and hand made items from other small businesses and artists. If you are a spider lover they also have these adorable enclosures. 8 legged friends are also available in store. The whole atmosphere of the area is fantastic. I highly recommend taking a trip and visiting this absolute diamond!

I simply cannot stop talking about what a wonderful time I had shopping here yesterday. My friend and I were in town for the afternoon and wanted to go to a bookstore, Deadtime came up first, and it looked amazing from the reviews on Google. We were immediately greeted upon entering and I was delighted to see the lovingly curated inventory, I think we spent the better part of 45 minutes combing through the interesting stuff in the shop and I still don't think I saw everything. The first room is almost all books, the categories and sorting intend that anyone who walks in could find something to their liking. I picked up a book about Amercian crypids and a cozy vampire romance. The second room has trinkets and gifts, jewelry, bath and body products, plushies, tarot decks, ghost hunting equipment, spiders and equipment needed to care for the spiders and most delightfully, this is where I realized that there were shop cats! I don't know about you, but the presence of a shop cat makes everything better for me. Staff was delightful and made everyone feel welcome, you can tell that this shop has a lot of dedication and love poured into it. I'm going to have to come back to do some more holiday shopping. Thank you for such an awesome highlight to our Lansing visit!

Absolutely loved my visit today, cats are adorable, atmosphere super unique and cool! The shop owner was super nice and helpful. Will definitely be going back and checking out their 2nd location opening in June 🥰

Had a lovely visit to Deadtime Stories: True Crime and Other Books, the shop had a really amazing layout, a great selection of book, gifts and ice cream. Even a cute cat! The staff were all friendly and very helpful, can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend if you are looking for some books or gifts!
