Deadtime Stories Books & Gifts is a weird little shop in Lansing’s REO Town that is probably best described as equal parts bookstore and spider shop. The store is packed with books both new and old, collectibles, antiques, oddities, and all kinds of strange things that are hard to put into one category. But the spiders are a huge part of what makes Deadtime Stories different. The shop is home to tons of live spiders, with a variety of species on display and available for sale. It’s not every day
