Horrorstör

fullDescription

A traditional haunted house story in a contemporary setting, and full of current fears, Horrorstör delivers a high-concept premise in a unique style.

Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjërring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes—clearly someone, or something, is up to no good. To unravel the mystery, five young employees volunteer for a long dusk-till-dawn shift and encounter horrors that defy imagination. Along the way, author Grady Hendrix infuses sly social commentary on the nature of work in the new twenty-first-century economy.

reviews

1. • premium: False
   • source: Library Journal
   • content: "At a Cleveland-area Orsk home store (think Ikea), uptight store manager Basil convinces employees Amy and Ruth Ann to stay after closing one night to catch the vandal who is defacing company property. They run into two more employees who are also staking out the business after hours, but Matt and Trinity are hoping to find evidence of ghosts haunting the showroom. Both groups find more than they bargained for in this fun horror novel. ...Will deliver enough scares for horror fans...Enjoyable."

     This haunted-housewares story follows antiheroine Amy as she gets strong-armed into working overnight to investigate strange happenings in the Orsk store, a parody of everyone's favorite flat-pack Scandinavian furniture warehouse. As the night creeps on, Amy and her coworkers discover that the Orsk building has a dark history and that something in the store won't let them leave, and it's willing to kill to keep them there. Hendrix does a good job of toying with the classic haunted-house story; the unfolding reasons behind the store's problems create a distinctly compelling plot. Tai Sammons narrates evenly, with Bronson Pinchot providing interstitial advertisements for increasingly sinister-sounding Orsk furniture. Images in the print book are available as downloadable PDFs on an accompanying CD. VERDICT With no mood-setting music or intense scares, this audiobook is light on suspense and horror but surprisingly fun nonetheless. Fans of B horror movies will enjoy this parody and will be entertained by the strong story development. ["This first novel may be gimmicky, but it is enjoyable," read the review of the Quirk hc, LJ 7/14.]--Cliff Landis, Georgia State Univ. Lib., Atlanta
