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 superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes. Sales are down, security cameras reveal nothing, and store managers are panicking.
To unravel the mystery, three employees volunteer to work a nine-hour dusk-till-dawn shift. In the dead of the night, they’ll patrol the empty showroom floor, investigate strange sights and sounds, and encounter horrors that defy the imagination.

‘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.
