Aber Stoat Books

Romance, Fantasy, Dark Fiction & Occult

90% Fiction. 100% Escapism.

Aber Stoat Books is a romance-first bookstore that heavily embraces speculative fiction. We focus on young adult and adult romance, fantasy, thriller, science fiction, horror, and occult titles, alongside a curated collection of special editions and graphic novels.

Since launching as an online bookshop in 2024, our entire journey has been powered by this community. Every special order and purchase over the last two and a half years has moved us closer to a physical storefront.

We have a location. We’re officially opening our long-awaited local store in a brand-new area off Palomar Airport Road. More details coming soon.
