Brave Books Halloween Event Finds New Home in El Paso

You can't keep a good book store down, and apparently, you can't keep a good Halloween tradition down either!

When news broke that El Paso's beloved Brave Books had to temporarily close its doors, I had one very important question: What was going to happen to its annual Little Bookshop of Horrors event?!

Well, horror book lovers, there's some good news! The event is officially coming back for its sixth year, and it's all thanks to another local El Paso business stepping in to help!

Brave Books' Little Bookshop of Horrors Finds a New Home

Brave Books' 6th Annual Little Bookshop of Horrors is happening Saturday, October 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Viva La Plant Shop, located at 2609 N. Stanton St.

And this year's event sounds like the perfect way to spend a spooky Saturday!

Visitors can look forward to horror books, plants, foster dogs, and even a coffee pop-up from Despierta Coffee. I mean, scary books, coffee, and dogs? That's a pretty great combination!

I've actually been to Little Bookshop of Horrors before, and I was genuinely so happy to hear that the event would still be happening in person this year.

There's just something about spending a Saturday browsing through scary books, especially when Halloween is right around the corner. Whether you're into classic horror stories or looking for your next creepy read, it's such a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit.

And this year, you can do all of that while surrounded by plants and enjoying some coffee!

El Paso Businesses Come Together to Keep a Halloween Tradition Alive

For those who may have missed it, Brave Books recently had to temporarily close its physical bookstore following a zoning complaint involving its Central El Paso location.

While the bookstore works through those issues, many of us were left wondering what would happen to its annual Halloween event.

Thankfully, Viva La Plant Shop stepped in to give Little Bookshop of Horrors a new home this year!

And I think that's what makes this story even better. Not only do El Paso book lovers get to enjoy a Halloween tradition for another year, but we also get to see one local business helping another during a difficult time.

Little Bookshop of Horrors has become a fun tradition for local horror lovers, and it's nice knowing that a temporary setback isn't going to stop the spooky fun.

So if you're looking for something different to do before Halloween, consider stopping by Viva La Plant Shop this Saturday. Grab a coffee, browse some scary books, and show some love to the local businesses keeping this tradition alive.

After all, Halloween just wouldn't be the same without a few good horror stories!
