Horrorstör
4 out of 5 stars!
What an amazingly fun tale. This is the third of Grady Hendrix books that I have read and they have a similar style, but the stories are delivered in a little bit quirky fashion. (Hmmm... distributed by Quirk Books!)
This story about retail trials and tribulations is a fun twist on the haunted house story and also the dead-end job problem. It has a much deeper message than you would originally think of coming from the characters.
In all of the books I have read by this author there is an element of the larger community being able to deny the unexpected, unexplainable, yet obvious scenario. I find this speaks very loudly to a lot of what is going on in America today - people are able to justify anything to support their bias.
I absoluteily loved the chapter headings written in the style of a catalog entry. And the suble change from standard furniture to much more sinister offerings.
I am looking forward to The Final Girl Support Group and really like both Grady Hendrix and Quirk Books.
