"HORRORSTÖR” by Grady Hendrix  

There are enough people running around in here. It’s starting to feel like an episode of Scooby-Doo.

The book is a clever combination of horror, humor, and satire.

The story revolves around a group of employees at an Orsk furniture store, who agree to spend the night in the store to investigate strange occurrences happening after hours. As the night progresses, they quickly realize that they are not alone in the store and that there is something sinister going on. The plot was both unpredictable and silly.

One aspect of the book that stood out to me was the design of the Orsk store, which was modeled after an IKEA store. The author's attention to detail in describing the store layout and product names was impressive, and added to the overall eerie atmosphere of the story.

The characters were also well-developed, each with their own distinct personalities that made them feel like real people rather than just characters in a book. Their interactions were believable and added to the tension and humor of the story.

Overall, it was a silly fun read.

PS: The audiobook is currently (2/25/23) free to listen to on Audible if you have a Premium Plus account.
