Horrorstor
delivers a high-concept premise in a unique style.
Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes-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 encounter horrors that defy imagination. Along the way, author Grady Hendrix infuses sly social commentary on the nature of work in the new twenty-first-century economy.

Recenzja
A very clever ghost story.
-- "Booklist"
Disarming.
-- "Wall Street Journal"
If you've ever been frustrated trying to put together furniture from IKEA, you'll get a laugh out of Hendrix's spoof mystery.
-- "New York Post"
Retail stores that peddle lifestyle philosophies to customers and employees get a comic drubbing in this diverting horror lampoon.
-- "Publishers Weekly"
Sammons' performance has a tough, acidic edge that perfectly reflects Amy's cynicism and resignation. Pinchot, meanwhile, sounds just like a commercial, with a tenor tone and perfectly convincing upbeat rhythm.
-- "AudioFile"
Tai Sammons narrates evenly, with Bronson Pinchot providing interstitial advertisements for increasingly sinister-sounding Orsk furniture...Fans of B horror movies will enjoy this parody and will be entertained by the strong story development.
-- "Library Journal (audio review)"
This fun horror novel...will deliver enough scares for horror fans.
-- "Library Journal"
Wildly fun and outrageously inventive.
-- "Shelf Awareness (starred review)"
