Open since mid-August, Black Cat Books & Oddities is characterized by six interesting themed rooms.
MEDINA, Ohio -- Max Frazier had been a software engineer for nine years when he decided he needed a career change. Ideally, it would be something that he and his wife, Alicia Hoisington Frazier, a Medina native, could do together.
He spent three months removing wallpaper, spackling the walls, ripping out carpet and refinishing the floors to restore some of the home’s original charm. The end result is an aesthetic the couple describes as “Victorian Gothic.” The vibe not only reflects their personalities, but it was perfect for the kind of store they had envisioned.
The Cabinet of Curiosities is next. Its shelves are lined with an eclectic mix of quirky cookbooks, fantasy, sci-fi and books that transcend genre. Continue on to the Literary Commons. The room, you’ll know it by the Venus Flytrap from “The Little Shop of Horrors,” is stacked with a curated mix of bestsellers, new releases, BookTok picks and vinyl records.
“There’s something for everyone,” Alicia said. “But we also want people to look beyond the popular books and discover something new to them.”
