She learns about loyalty and found family. In this one, Amy starts to realize that she’s using her setbacks as an excuse to just walk away from everything and never even try to make her life better. As the story progresses and gets scarier, the products get darker to mirror the plot.Īs with both of the other books I’ve read by this author, there’s a surprisingly serious takeaway. Some of the product names made me laugh, such as the “Balsak cradle.” At the beginning of the book, the product spotlights are innocuous, like the Liripip wardrobe, that clears the room and clears away your worries. It looks like an Ikea catalog, complete with an order form at the front, coupons at the back, and product spotlights at the beginning of each chapter. The book itself is a lot of fun, so if you decide to read it, make sure you get a physical copy instead of downloading it to your Kindle. Horrorstör, the earliest of the books I’ve read, followed this pattern as well. You would think I’d learn, wouldn’t you? The books do start off amusingly enough but the dread and the creep factor slowly ratchet up until I’m practically sitting on the edge of my seat, frantically flipping pages to see what happens. This is my third Grady Hendrix novel this year and with every single one of them, I think the premise sounds like fun and then I’m surprised by how dark the book gets.

While Amy and Ruth Anne are doing their rounds of the store, they stumble on Matt and Trinity, two other employees who are convinced that the store is haunted.
When Basil, her manager, asks her and Ruth Anne, a cashier, to work an overnight shift because of some disturbances that have been happening overnight, Amy says yes because she needs the extra money to pay her rent. She doesn’t fit in with the company culture and she’s only doing the minimum to get by. They’re none of your business.Amy had to drop out of college because of financing and now she’s stuck working at Orsk, America’s answer to Ikea. “I’m …” Amy suddenly realized that in fact she didn’t have any plans. I’m not planning on being in retail for the rest of my life.” “I punch the clock, I work my shop, I sell people their desks, I cash my check. “She can’t take anything seriously,” Basil said. “There’s nothing wrong with being serious,” Ruth Anne said. It lets you build something that lives on after you’re gone. A responsibility to something bigger than yourself. “A job is what a guy in a gas station has. “I know this is your religion, but for me it’s just a job.”
