What People Are Saying
The kind of place you find by accident and then are happy you did!
A beautifully curated selection of books in a tastefully relaxing envoironment. The shop's dog "Willow" raised my spirits on a wet day. The owners Robyn & Dan can be rightly proud of this beautiful new creation.

The crew at The Imaginarium are amazing! Not only do they understand book dragons but they also care about other book dragons, those of all ages. Always going above and beyond. Their books are sent with love and care. They understand your bookish needs. The best independent book shop full of heart. You don't even have to be local to buy from them but I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area!

"I loved the aesthetic of this cute little tucked away book store, felt like an autumn dream, would definitely be a dream place to study."

Pre-order. Released 03.12.26
A beautiful classic hardback edition of one of King's masterpieces, released to mark the fiftieth anniversary.
One of the true modern classics, THE SHINING is regarded as one of Stephen King's masterpieces.
Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control.
As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217 and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?
Somewhere, somehow, there is an evil force in the hotel - and that, too, is beginning to shine . . .
With w new introduction by Owen King in a stunning hardback with foiled covers, this anniversary edition is perfect for any horror fan.
