Bookish Valhalla is a place with a deep appreciation for the whimsical, the strange, darkly twisted, and the lovely. We read both adult and young adult novels, predominantly of the science fiction, fantasy, thriller, and horror genres, But some of our nichest posts are about folklore, anime, video-games, k-dramas, poetry, and the writing process. We’re wild about all kinds of stories from various artistic corners, and believe there’s more to a booklover’s life than the stories they read. Our niche is pretty much for the eclectic reader who isn’t afraid to step off the beaten path and get a little lost in something weird or wonderful.
