Horrorstör
by Grady Hendrix
So, this is my second novel of Hendrix. I enjoyed the vast majority of the novel, although the ending was not to my liking... (this is the second time I say this about this author).
So, basically in this novel we follow Amy as she is going to work toikea orsk. We get to know a bit of her daily life and her struggles outside the company that we all share. Work to pay the bills, sometimes just to survive and the vast majority on a job we don't like.
We are introduced to a bunch other characters, each one as different as the other. You get the hard boss that wants to do everything by the book, the old woman who enjoys working and everyone loves her, you get the bearded guy or the hot girl (don't know if she is hot).
As the day almost is finish, the boss asks our main protagonist and the old woman to stay with him during the night because strange stuff has been happening and he wants to learn what is going on. The old woman has nothing better to do and our main protagonist really really needs the money.
From this moment on, the book starts to speed up in terms of story and the chapters become shorter , while the pacing gets faster. By the end the author throws some curve balls that I didn't enjoy that much to be honest.
So, what we have here in the book.. first of all the book is presented physicially as a Ikea show book that you receive at home or you can grab on a story. As you turn the pages you get some interesting stuff regarding employees information or ORSK rules and contracts and such. Each chapter is a different utensil/object. At the beginning they make sense , like a couch, chair or table but as the story starts being weird the objects start to be really weird to plain torture devices.
We get it Grady. You hate Ikea and other big corporations that makes people zombies (is in the first page). We understand you got a problem with authority and such... to be honest this are just things I got but it's not overwhelming or preachy. They are just stuff you get as you read the novel. If this was a 10 star rating I would 7. So 4?
