We are very excited to collaborate with our dear friends at CHAPTER 34, an independent bookshop just round the corner from us in Shoreham by Sea. Each month they are handpicking a small curated selection for our customers at Neighbourhood Store.
Every aspect of CHAPTER 34 is designed to help you discover new books, ideas, and encourage you to look beyond what you usually read. Their shelves are arranged according to themes such as ‘The Self Shelf’ and ‘Wanderlust’, so you can discover new stories, ideas and wonders.
Chapter 34 stands against racism sexism, homophobia, transphobia and the oppression of all marginalised communities. They do this by carrying and promoting books by a diverse range of authors, over a diverse range of subjects. If you are in town you simply must pop in, be prepared to overstay a 'pop in' mind. The serve coffee too so get comfortable and enjoy!

Now about this book...
A woman feeding a baby late at night listens to the animal sounds in the city around her. A grieving widow encounters an injured jellyfish on a deserted beach. A young woman can’t shake the image of dying hare she finds at the side of the road. A dairy farmer hears her herd bellow with fear at night.
Animals at Night is Naomi Booth’s first collection of short stories. Collected here are stories that illuminate the strange nocturnal meetings between humans and other animals.
