Horrorstor: A Novel

Product Information

Amy, the main character, is on verge to lose her retail job, a soulless one..BUT which is her only hope for living.... well , who works retail and doesn't ? Within the writing of Horrorstor itself, I think my absolute favorite thing was how accurately Hendrix portrays the real life hell that working in mainstream retail can be. Between Basil’s eyeroll-inducing commentary on his own management skills (and his refusal to break store policy even when people start getting tortured and maimed by ghosts), Amy’s all too relatable apathy about selling overpriced fiberboard furniture to the masses, and the instant recognition of Ruth Anne as that one employee everyone knows who is way too cheerful and apparently actually loves her job, I assure you, if you have ever worked (and hated) retail, you will recognize your experience somewhere in this story. Elizabeth Tabler runs Beforewegoblog and is constantly immersed in fantasy stories. She was at one time an architect but divides her time now between her family in Portland, Oregon, and as many book worlds as she can get her hands on. She is also a huge fan of Self Published fantasy and is on Team Qwillery as a judge for SPFBO5. You will find her with a coffee in one hand and her iPad in the other.

National treasure Grady Hendrix follows his classic account of a haunted IKEA-like furniture showroom, Horrorstor (2014), with a nostalgia-soaked ghost story, My Best Friend’s Exorcism.”— The Wall Street Journal, on My Best Friend’s Exorcism The novel is a charming testament to friendships and life's imperfections, with dashes of rot and savagery to earn its keep in horror literature....It's a rollercoaster [that] lands as a vampire story concreted in vileness and Southern charm.” For more than a year now, the name Grady Hendrix kept popping up from GR friends, either with a reading, rating, review or recommendation. HORRORSTOR is my virgin dive into the author’s mind. And I will admit, there were a few things I was worried about: Hendrix’s darkest novel yet will leave readers begging for an encore.”— Booklist, starred review, on We Sold Our SoulsA clever little horror story...[and] a treat for fans of The Evil Deador Zombieland, complete with affordable solutions for better living.” If you’ve ever been frustrated trying to put together furniture from IKEA, you’ll get a laugh out of Hendrix’s spoof mystery.” I enjoyed this too, and I’m a horror lightweight. I thought it was really funny, and admired the design. (I definitely would not want to read this digitally. The experience of holding a hauntedIKEA catalog is delightful.) My husband and teenager also liked it, and my 10-year-old has been steadily chanting “We never stop. We never sleep. And now we’re in your home.” to try to scare her sister. Terrific… Sharply written… [ My Best Friend’s Exorcism] makes a convincing case for [Hendrix’s] powers as a sharp observer of human behavior.”— The A.V. Club, on My Best Friend’s Exorcism

When mysterious occurrences begin happening around the store, including damage to some of the product, the management has reason to suspect someone is getting in after hours.Horrorstör” by Grady Hendrix has been a book I’ve been wanting to read for a while. I’ve read a handful of novels by Hendrix and I absolutely love his style of writing, horror, and the hilarious dark humor often found in everything he does. When it comes to Horrorstör, it’s simply put, a good time. Webb, Charles (September 18, 2014). "BOOK REVIEW: HORRORSTOR: A NOVEL". Nerdist . Retrieved January 29, 2020.
