Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix

Yesterday afternoon/evening I attended two and a half hours of tennis match, followed by running home, stuffing food in my mouth, switching kids' and going to an hour and a half of soccer practice. Let's just say, I had some reading time...



Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix was on my Kindle and I read most of it while sitting in my folding chair watching sports.  I have read one other Grady Hendrix book, and much like the first one, this one is a combo of love the humor, gross not exactly scary horror, and what did I just read?  

This is the story of Orsk, a knock off of Ikea, and... it's haunted.  

Amy doesn't really like her job, or her boss Basil, but when someone starts breaking into the store and destroying the showroom, Amy is incentivized to stay overnight to find out what's going on. 

I am pretty familiar with the layout of Ikea, and their catalog, which might helped my enjoyment of the story...  I really liked the set-up, the middle part of the story was OK, and the ending was good.  

I have been starting a lot of books recently, and not finishing many, so the fact that I had a chance to finish something in one day was nice.  

Will I ever look at an Ikea the same way ever again?  No!  Do I want to ever be in an Ikea at night?  Nope!  Will I read another Grady Hendrix novel?  Of course.  

I gave this 4.25 stars.  Funny, gross, and kind of quirky.  Except for the gross bits, my kind of story :)
