Tubby & Coo's Mid-City Bookshop

Tubby & Coo's Mid-City Bookshop has carved out a unique niche in New Orleans' literary landscape since 2017, specializing in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and geek culture. The store's enthusiastic embrace of genre fiction fills a void in a city known more for its literary and Southern traditions, proving that New Orleans' creative spirit extends to every corner of the imagination. The graphic novel section is extensive, and the horror collection is appropriately strong for a city with such deep connections to the supernatural. The store's community of genre enthusiasts has created a vibrant subculture within the broader New Orleans literary scene, with events that range from book launches to cosplay nights.
