Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix

Let's be honest, this book was a total novelty buy. I first saw this on Natasha's, My Reading is Odd, BookTube channel and just knew I had to have it.

Horrorstör looks like an IKEA catalog and is a horror parody of the IKEA store. I expected humor and was excited to dive in to the story and see where the horror part came in, and trust me it did.

The characters were exactly what you would expect when you walk into any box store with its variety of workers from the ones that just want to punch the clock and get through the day, ones just trying to run out the clock before they retire and the ones that want it to be their stable career and family. We get to know each character and their motivation for their actions and reactions and it keeps the plot moving right along.

The first half the book was comedic, the second half moved into paranormal horror and it did freak me out and gross me out and say WTF out loud. It was unique and interesting and I cannot wait to read more by this author!
