Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Columbus, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring wardrobes, shattered Brooka glassware, and vandalized Liripip sofa beds clearly, someone or something is up to no good.

To unravel the mystery, five young employees volunteer for a long dusk-till-dawn shift—and they encounter horrors that defy imagination. Along the way, author Grady Hendrix infuses sly social commentary on the nature of work in the new twenty-firstcentury economy.

A traditional haunted house story in a contemporary setting (and full of current fears), Horrorstör comes conveniently packaged in the form of a retail catalog, complete with illustrations of ready-to-assemble furniture and other, more sinister accessories. We promise you’ve never seen anything quite like it!

3.0 Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix
This book, much like the store its parodying, is a beautifully designed object at a great price. The follow-through on the design from the covers, the catalog end-papers, the store map, and of course the interior copy and art sending up IKEA's product descriptions are brilliant. The novel, however...

4.0 Ikea Gets Even Creepier
I checked this book out on a whim because I absolutely adored the concept. A haunted house story taking place in an Ikea? It doesn't get much better than that. Horrorstor is about an Ikea-knockoff store that experiences paranormal activity. Someone keeps soiling the couches, weird graffiti is fou...

3.5 Just A Big Bag Of Nope
Mother of god. I think I've just found one of the best horror novels I've ever read. (That's not saying much, considering the fact that I've only actually read one prior.) If I could rate this as a horror novel, I would probably give it five stars. But on the scale of my favorite books, it's a...
