Albion’s Newest Chapter is Almost Here

If you’ve been downtown lately, you may have noticed a transformation taking place.

Get ready to fall in love, because The Midnight Chapter, a bookstore dedicated entirely to the romance genre, is moving in and anticipates opening by summer.

From Dream to Storefront: The Story Behind the Shop

The Midnight Chapter isn’t just a business; it’s a dream shared by co-owners Rachel Goodhew and Alyssa Stanfield.

“There’s something magical about this town, but we think it’s missing just one thing,” says Goodhew. “We’re working hard to bring a little more romance to the neighborhood.”

What to Expect Inside

Whether you prefer your stories “sweet and cozy” or “steamy and spicy,” The Midnight Chapter is being curated to ensure every reader finds their perfect match.

More Than Just Books

The vision for The Midnight Chapter goes beyond retail. It’s designed to be an inclusive space, highlighting diverse voices and stories to make every heart skip a beat.

Calling All Local Artists!

As the interior nears completion, the duo is looking toward the windows. The goal? To turn the storefront into a portal to another world.

“I picture enchanting forest pathways, glowing light, and whimsical frames,” Stanfield explains. “We want the artwork to feel as though you’re stepping into another world—one filled with wonder and possibility.”

If you are a local artist interested in collaborating on an immersive window display, they want to hear from you! You can reach out directly at hello@themidnightchapter.com to share your portfolio.
