"OBSESSED with this peek behind the black velvet curtain of how Ryan and Regina built their uniquely jaw-dropping collection of gothic, chic, mind-blowing oddities. I felt like I was there with them as they traveled the world to meet with passionate art dealers, crazed collectors, and eccentrically badass weirdos. This is must-read for anyone interested in curios and strange, alluring objects. The Witch's Door is a macabre portal that reminds us that if we live among death, we live life the fullest even more."

--Jill Kargman, New York Times bestselling author

"This is a delightfully eccentric tour of the authors' offbeat world of collecting. It's a powerful reminder of the enthralling stories that objects have to tell us about ourselves, and of the adventures they can engender in seeking them out."

--Lindsey Fitzharris, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Butchering Art and The Facemaker

"Ryan and Regina painstakingly curate the absolute weirdest, coolest, most unconventionally beautiful things a brain could imagine. You will love this compilation of weird, wonderful ephemera as it is an odd window into two of my favorite souls.

--Steve Burns

"You might think that the people behind [the Oddities Flea Market] have some pretty good stories to tell -- and indeed, in The Witch's Door, they share accounts of objects that have notable and even uncanny histories."--Tobias Carroll, InsideHook

A Barnes Noble Best Book of 2024!

"A fascinating romp."--The Orange County Register

"Just know this: the book isn't really meant to scare you or give you nightmares. It's also not an anthology of ghost stories. Nope, authors Ryan Matthew Cohn and Regina M. Cohn are serious about the objects they collect, which includes the provenance of each item and its future. You might still notice that there is a certain kind of macabre to their overall collection and many individual objects, but the stories about these things are told with a fully historical and cultural tone that readers will find to be highly fascinating. Don't be surprised if this book sends you to a museum or online, to find Cohn's past work. If you're Goth, you're Halloween 24/7, or you're a fellow collector, find 'The Witch's Door.' For oddity lovers looking for a good book, let this be your one thing."--Terri Schlichenmeyer for the Galveston County Daily News
