Horrorstor: A Novel

Minor spoilers ahead!


This was a super fun book. Interesting and relevant to anybody who has worked in retail before. However the ending- though it was good- I need more! I feel like every book review I write, I'm always unsatisfied with the ending. But this one leaves it too open. Are Matt and Trinity ever found? All in all, it was a great book, but I wish we knew what happened after Amy and Basil go back in after hours!

Slow build but once the group were alone, it was a fun thriller. It makes you side eye IKEA for sure. I thought it was fun and would read a sequel if Grady makes one, *spoiler* it kind of ends like he was planning on it.

This was a pretty good book. It wasn't as scary as I thought. It has a lot of paranormal aspects and some of the scenes really stick with you. The author is really good at being very descriptive. There are a lot of what the hell moments. I listened to it and at the beginning of every chapter there was like an ad for an item provided by the store. It was such a unique and fun to read book.

very clever. work is a hellish prison that you just keep coming back to.

the opening line to the book was very good. at first, I actually thought the setting of the book was a zombie apocalypse.

I found this HALF OFF at Barnes & Noble soon after watching one of Christine Riccio's book hauls. The storyline was DEFINITELY not what I expected. The last quarter of the book was a little weird for me personally, especially the furniture-turned-torturing devices. Sure, there were amusing references to retail life and IKEA, but the so-called "horror" in this book was just off-putting for me. However, I choose to finish any book I start (no matter how terrible or boring). In so doing, I found that the author at least has a talent for writing--which can be inferred by the organization of the storyline and minor character development, in addition to some of the names he has published articles under--and as stated previously, does incorporate some comical illusions to IKEA, the famous mass marketing corporation. I've read it once and will give it away to someone who may be able to appreciate Hendrix's style of writing more than I did.
