Story
Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to give her a goodbye kiss in the morning, her kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she's always a step behind on thank-you notes and her endless list of chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and paperback fiction. At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.

This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

The “world’s most advanced smart speaker!” didn’t interest Thiago, but Vera thought it would be a bit of fun for them amidst all the strange occurrences happening in the condo. It made things worse. The cold spots and scratching in the walls were weird enough, but peculiar packages started showing up at the house - who ordered industrial lye? Then, there was the eerie music at odd hours, Thiago waking up to Itza projecting light shows in an empty room.

Publisher's Summary
Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring wardrobes, shattered Brooka glassware, and vandalized Liripip sofa beds—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 21st-century economy.
A traditional haunted house story in a contemporary setting, and full of current fears, Horrorstör delivers a high-concept premise in a unique style.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A comedy of horrors
Grady Hendrix manages to toe the line between satire and horror in this workplace-comedy-turned-nightmare. Clever and well paced, the novel takes the everyday horror of retail work and introduces real balls-to-walls horror. Unafraid of brutalizing his characters, Hendrix follows the journey of Amy- your run of the mill adult, stuck in a rut. While her character's journey was satisfying to hear, and her growth empowering, at times the narration fell a little flat. Tai Sammons perfectly captures the deadpan tone the satire needs, but sometimes the monotone made the last sentences of chapters seem unfinished.

Horrorstör is amazing.
It's almost fluff horror but then on a double-take, it is actually so original, from theme to, heh, execution.

ÖRSK ME ANOTHER BUT I'LL NEVER TELL, YOU FIÊND
First half achieves a mundane workplace set up with a likeable cast of characters, before the second half kicks it into full throttle horror survival. The haunted house story in knock off IKEA premise doesn't prepare you for some of the grizzlier scenes but the shock you feel is bigger because of it. Interludes between chapters feature product descriptions of furniture which shift into blackly comic segments breaking up the action and double as neat little set piece descriptions. The last one is a particularly effective without spoiling anything here. Make sure to flip through the accompanying pdf for additional ORSK content!

Loved it
A fun little horror- left me wanting a sequel. The main character drove me a little crazy at times, but her character traits were a part of the story. Would've loved to see some of the devices in the paperback. Bought a copy to look through and lend to people to read :)

Reminds me of a cheap teenage horror flick
Story was average, quite frankly, and I never felt even a flicker of fear, though the first half of the book didn't do a bad job of building tension. I never became particularly attached to any of the characters - the book is through the viewpoint of Amy, who I liked all right, but since she was the main character I was pretty sure she wasn't gonna die. Although the ending may have left some things to be desired, I actually liked how the epilogue finished it.
The narration was good, and it was pretty easy listening, I didn't find my thoughts wandering very often while listening. And i guess, to be fair, the level of engagement I had made it slightly above average and the setting was fun. Take it for what it is, a bit of silly fun.

Great!
This was a great read. Interesting idea of a horror setting in an Ikea store that didn't outstay it's welcome. I think most fans of supernatural horror would enjoy checking this one out.
