THE STORE IS COMING THE STORE IS COMING THE STORE IS COMING THE STORE IS COMING

It has been a long time since I picked up a book by Little. I chose this one recommended by a friend for a reading challenge.

Strange, weird, quirky, and disturbing. It was simplistically entertaining.

The anxiety can be felt as the town is slowly being controlled, destroyed and the people that were once comrades and friends quickly become enemies. It becomes a fight for survival.

King and the Night Managers of The Store were relatively creepy as we are not really given the secrets of what they really are and the acts they delve out and cause others to do is really dark, unsettling and troubling.

This is a book that is just fun and entertaining, I even enjoyed the slow burn parts of it, the build up to a snap ending!
