From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires comes a hilarious and terrifying haunted house story in a thoroughly contemporary setting: a furniture superstore.
Something strange is happening at the ORSK furniture store in Cleveland. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken displays, damaged merchandise, and unexplained destruction scattered across the showroom floor. Security cameras reveal nothing. Customers are staying away. Management wants answers.
When a small group of employees volunteers to work an overnight shift and investigate the mystery, they discover that something far more terrifying than retail theft is hiding inside the store. As the night spirals into chaos, ORSK transforms from a familiar shopping destination into a nightmare.
Featuring a clever furniture-catalog design complete with illustrations and product pages that grow increasingly sinister throughout the story, this cult-favorite novel delivers both genuine scares and laugh-out-loud absurdity.
Blends supernatural horror, haunted-house fiction, workplace satire, and dark humor
Fast-paced suspense that escalates over a single terrifying night
Unique catalog-style design with immersive illustrations throughout
Step inside ORSK and discover a horror novel that turns everyday retail nightmares into something far more terrifying.

‘Horrorstor’ by Grady Hendrix provided the Reading Army with a good read tackling the never ending grind of working in retail giving unrealistic hopes through ‘bright and shining paths’ and ‘false doors’ and how that can infact become a horror story in itself quite literally!-don’t think we’ll ever think about IKEA in the same way again!

A fictional horror story, though at first glance it looks like an IKEA catalogue. I'd heartily recommend this, starts off as a slightly humorous story about staff stuck in a dead end job, but soon moves into a truly creepy tale. Read if you like supernatural stories and like (or don't like) flat pack furniture.
