Friends..this is probably going to be an unpopular opinion but I just don't know if Grady Hendrix is for me. I want to like him. Like, I want to get on this bandwagon and ride it but..*sighs*. 

My second reading experience with Grady Hendrix was 'Horrostor'; a story where the company Orsk is experiencing some shady things at night when the lights go out and the store is empty. Basil, a pretentious dillweed of a manager convinces two employees, RuthAnne and Amy to stay on overnight and work an 'under the table' shift to get to the bottom of things. Amy, short on cash and needing to pay her rent, and RuthAnne, the 'grandmotherly' employee that everyone loves and never tells to company 'NO' agree, and together the three of them are in for a night of suspense. 

In their search of the floor just after their shift starts, they run into two other employee's Trinity and Matt who snuck in and are looking for 'ghosts' so that they can be on television as Paranormal Investigators. Apparently Orsk was built over some horrible penitentiary and chaos ensues. 

I knew about 1/3 into the book that I wasn't going to like it, but I persisted, breaking my - DNF if I'm not vibing with it rule - because I wanted to know the outcome. By the end of the story, I wasn't cheering for a single customer and was really hopeful that the store was just going to gobble them up and no one would escape. #sorrynotsorry

So, maybe it was just this story. And while I understand this was suppose to be a Horror Parody, making fun of IKEA, I just could not get into it. While the premise was interesting enough and I was exited to see what sort of scary things could take place in a big warehouse, it just wasn't for me.

So, yeah..I'm going to stop at that.
