Read at your own risk!

Can your reading habit result in your own bodily injury, contraction of an unidentified disease or perhaps even death? After visiting what I deem "the world's most dangerous bookstore," I believe so. Some 11 years ago, a friend and I visited a used bookstore in Oklahoma City that was full of such filth that ... well, you just have to see for yourself:

And that's just the checkout area, kids.

I doubt the store is even there anymore (and I'm afraid to check), but you can read all about our life-threatening adventure over at Bookgasm, in full, grisly, porno-strewn detail.

And there were also reviews this week at our site, including Lincoln Child's DEEP STORM, Megan Abbott's THE SONG IS YOU, Jeffrey Thomas' PUNKTOWN, the tough-to-spell Perri O'Shaugnessy's SINISTER SHORTS and Dean Koontz's BROTHER ODD, among others. None of them will cause you to break a hip.
