About this audiobook

A traditional haunted house story in a contemporary setting, and full of current fears, Horrorstör delivers a high-concept premise in a unique style.

Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjërring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes—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 twenty-first-century economy.

Ratings and reviews

Great Halloween story! I have enjoyed every Grady Hendrix book I've gotten my mitts on. Some of the worst evils we face aren't made from campy werewolves or goth witches. Instead, we pay for the pain more powerful people have inflicted upon us. Pain that those powerful people feel so strongly they have to project it onto others. Pain so powerful they cannot even cry for themselves. Love the audiobook performer, the perfect embodiment of anyone who wants to be better but does not know how.

it was fun.
