This place is such a gem! I live in Avondale and finally popped in today after watching the shop drift by everyday on the Belmont bus and omg, the selection is amazing!!! I’m not a huge horror buff myself but the movie selection was awesome for the best mainstream/b-level horror films. If I didn’t get nightmares I would totally buy a bunch of the movies!!! BUT, even though their specialty is horror and fantasy there was an excellent selection of literary fiction, which I was very happy to find. I wish I could have walked out with about five books instead of one for the day, but I’ll be back soon! To note: awesome location on the corner of Belmont/California/Elston, so its super convenient to bus and car! :)

I love this store. My son is friendly with the owner and we stopped in while walking by. This is a new and larger location for Bucket O’Blood. As the name suggests, they primarily stock metal albums, but they do have a little of everything. Not only do they have vinyl records, CDs and cassette tapes, they offer a wide selection of books, primarily science fiction, but also other genres. They have some equipment for sale — used receivers, new record players, etc. They also have concert items — shirts, posters and other memorabilia. This is locally owned, not a chain. So, I always encourage people to take advantage of the fact that you can support a small business by shopping there. And, it’s fun to just browse too.

The aesthetic of this place is DELIGHTFUL. A little macabre, a little nerdy, a little tongue in cheek. I held an event in the back space which is great for small gatherings or performances. The folks there are smart, friendly, and professional. Their selection is unique and interesting.

The only downside to this place is how much of my money they take.

Great book and record shop for all things horror, sci-fi, fantasy and much more! Been following these guys since the Logan Sq location and haven’t missed a beat. Keep on keepin on!

I use to go in the old store front a couple times a month. I was sad to hear they were moving but couldn’t wait to get out to the new place. Finally made it there today. There is so much more space. It’s got a nice feel in there. I’m usually able to find a good records every time I come in and I was not let down today. They always have the best selection of punk/hardcore in the city. Definitely one of the better record shops in the city.
