Horrorstör is a classic haunted house story with a twist of being set in a furniture store that is definitely not IKEA.
The story follows a group of Orsk employees as they attempt to find out what is happening overnight at their store. I’m not gonna go too much into the plot, but safe to say it all just gets a bit weird!
There is a good mix of characters in this that each provide something different, with our main character Amy starting off as a bit of a shit employee, that has potential, being the hero that tries to ensure no one is left behind in this wild, scary and ridiculous ride in not IKEA.
I did enjoy this but to be honest started reading something else in the middle of this one which completely took my focus away from it. I will probably give it another read in the future as it was good and I should probably give it the attention it deserves haha.
I absolutely love the design of the book, it always grabbed my attention straight away in Waterstones, the detail in it to make it appear as a catalogue is brilliant, it really add something to it.
I’m really enjoying the Grady Hendrix books I’ve read so far, they really are a good mix of horror and humour. One page I’m wincing as what’s happening is creepy and normally gross and the next I’m laughing at the ridiculousness of it all.
