Where the idea came from

Nightmare on Hansen is a late-night rambling thought. It is the culmination of years upon years of feeling the driving need to own a bookstore. It is the lightbulb moment when I realised: There are no indie bookstores in Australia that cater to those of us who feel at home in the darkness.

As an avid horror fanatic who devours the dark and disturbing in all formats, I know how frustrating it can be to walk into a bookshop and bee-line for the horror section only to be met with a small selection. Most of which carrying the name of a single author.

With Nightmare on Hansen I hope to change that. I want to showcase horror authors of all subgenres, I want to showcase indie horror authors and publishers and I want to offer up books that people may not have found on their own.

Thank you for joining me on this crazy train, and I hope you will stick around to see what happens next
