Welcome to Litsy!

I just can't get off the Grady Hendrix train! This was fun and scary. Who would have guessed an IKEA knockoff store could be possessed of evil spirits. The story pretty much takes place for the span of one horrifying night. I enjoyed the perspectives of the retail employees. Reccomend ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This never happens! Miss Tortitude, Katniss actually jumped into my lap and laid down as I was about to get up and go read in bed. Looks like I'll be reading on the couch until the princess wakes from her nap.🙀 Thank goodness for the kindle app on my phone. #catsoflitsy #littenkitten

I needed a Kindle book to read at work and I‘ve owned this for 2 years, so I grabbed it. I thought this was going to be a fun, campy, slightly creepy-maybe, “horror” story. No. This plays out like a horror movie. There‘s a reason I don‘t watch horror movies. I hate being scared. This was terrifying. I‘m never setting foot in an IKEA again. Ever. I will have nightmares tonight. Over 6 hrs for #24b4monday. #screamathon

Reminded me of Chuck Palahniuk. Fast paced and amazing scary visuals.
People who work at an ikea like store get drug into a living nightmare.
Ghosts, haunting and seances...oh my.

Finished this on audio. I read it a couple years ago and decided to listen to it this time. I'm so glad I did! Narrator was very good.

I‘m looking forward to reading this book about a haunted IKEA store. The cover is appropriately creepy.

They said we could decorate our cubes however we wanted for Halloween. Did I use it as an excuse to be surrounded by books while at work? Absolutely.

Time to start From Within. #TeamSlaughter #scarathalon @Clwojick

I listened to this on audio and the narration really hurt this one. They should have had Bronson Pinchot narrate the entire book and not just the chapter intros. Ok story but not nearly as good as My Best Friend's Exorcism.

Love him or hate him Grady Hendrix definitely has some of the best book covers! I happen to love him. Horrorstor was just as fun and creepy as I‘ve come to expect from his book. Perfect spooky time reads🎃 👻👻👻👻👻/5

Amy, an unmotivated retail employee dreaming of a better job and a better life, works an extra shift that may prove to be her last. Set in a haunted IKEA-like store that wants you to stay...forever.

This was ok, a ghostly horror sent in an Ikea type store. A quick read.

#Screamathon @4thhouseontheleft Book 6

I didn't really know what to expect with this book, but I kept hearing good things about it. It has a slasher film feel to it, which isn't really my thing, but I did enjoy it for the most part. It's a nice little short book if that's what you're into. It's not super gorey, but there is some. I found it interesting, and I do hope there will be a sequel if there isn't already.

While Horrorstör is set in a fictional competitor to Ikea, this book will probably forever alter my IKEA visits. ?

Straddling the line between parody and horror, it definitely brought back some of my nightmares from the years that I worked retail. And the memory of how creepy a retail store can be at night when the lights turn off and the store is mostly empty.

Fantastic concept, and the unique book design really made this one!

#screamathon

Reading Horrorstör, and #HelloKitty knocked something on to the floor behind me.

I jumped a mile. ?

Yes, I am a scaredy cat, which is why I only read or watch scary things in the daytime! #catsofLitsy

I am loving the illustrations and imagery in this book!

#screamathon

This book is fantastically terrifying. Stephen King would like this book. One of the scariest books I have ever read. #screamathon book 1 @4thhouseontheleft @MaleficentBookDragon

You know you are a Litten when you take a trip to IKEA just for a photo shoot. I started the book And enjoying it so far.

#horror #ChillingPhotoChallenge #Scarathon #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick That feeling you get when you realize that those fabulous flat pack purchses you made at IKEA are missing one, small, vital part!!!!😱

Second book from my Halloween TBR list. About halfway through and I'm loving it. Honestly one of my favorite covers because people keep thinking I studying an Ikea catalogue very thoroughly!

This is such a clever read. I am so enjoying it.
Thanks @Chrissyreadit

Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for the amazing #screamathon package. I loved everything. A box full of spiders was a nice a touch. The tea pot made it safely unbroken. If the tea tastes half as good as it smells I know I will like it. Now the hard part, to decide which to read first! @4thhouseontheleft

@sprainedbrain you spoiled me! I am in love with everything! I didn‘t even know there was a Flayed Billy Funko, he‘s a great addition to my collection! I am excited about ALL of the 📚, and see some #audiocoloring in my future! Thank you so much for the wonderful swap package!

A supernatural story set in an IKEA type furniture store. Surprisingly insightful themes about labor and poverty? Wasn‘t expecting that honestly lol but a fun and relatively quick read. #Horror #Supernatural

7 covers, 7 days, no explanations.

Day 5: catalog cover paperback of Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix

(Side note: Grady Hendrix books always have AMAZING covers - and interiors - no matter the edition. They make great material objects. Check out various covers on My Best Friend's Exorcism to see. However, I am only picking from books I own.)

@MoniqueReads305 would you like to play?

This is basically what it looks like. A fast read about a haunted IKEA-like furniture store. This was fine for what it was but I was hoping for more. Didn‘t connect or like any of the characters, the reasoning behind the “haunting” wasn‘t written in a way that I could completely buy into. I guess that‘s my major issue, clearly you‘re not meant to take this book seriously, but I just couldn‘t suspend my disbelief enough to have fun with it.

Horrorstör review is up! I loved this book ? I am also in the process of getting my shop ready on my blog site. Go check them both out! Right now I have the IT bookmark on sale with free shipping! www.ashsscript.com

This one was pretty meh. Would‘ve probably bailed it if wasn‘t an audiobook. And I really wanted to like it bc I was a fan of My Best Friend‘s Exorcism.

Two of my favorite books are #kindledeals today. Here‘s the first.

It only happens once a year (last year it was “Kill the Next One”), but I found a book that has kept my husband‘s interest so well, he‘s even reading it while we watch How I Met Your Mother!

What have I gotten myself into? 😬👻

I loved Grady Hendrix‘s My best friends Exorcism so much i had get more of his stuff, found Horrorstör second hand online and it finally arrived, excited to start this!! ? ?

😁😄

Trips to Ikea will never be the same again. Who is staying overnight in the store, damaging the stock? A group of colleagues stay behind to find out, with comically horrific consequences. I loved this book, it is beautifully laid out and a fun bit of light relief.

In this darkly comedic novel we‘re introduced to an IKEA knock-off called Orsk, where our protagonist, Amy, works. We find out some things have been going awry at night at Orsk and a few coworkers and Amy will work the graveyard shift to figure out what‘s going on. I won‘t give away anymore than that except to say that there are some amusing catalogue pictures between chapters. Great book!

Grady Hendrix does such a great job with this story. Horrorstor is set in a fictional department store called Orsk and creepy things happen once the lights turn off and the customers leave.

I am a huge fan of Hendrix and this might be my favorite of his. I loved how at the beginning of each chapter there was a product picture with description, and as the story becomes more intense the products change.

Horror fans should read this one. 💀

This book was a TRIP. I originally wanted to read it because I love ikea and when I sat down to read it this afternoon I thought I‘d read a bit then go do some other things. It‘s now 5 hours later and I‘ve finished it already. I honestly don‘t even know what happened I just literally could not put it down 😂. Good for horror fans, fans of Ikea, and anybody whose experienced the horror of working retail.

Sorry for the late post!! Thank You Cynthia for the Bob Ross pop and the book! I have wanted this book for a while!! The tissue paper is beautiful too!! I'm having a little trouble reading/finding your Litsy handle so I apologize for not tagging you properly! #funkopopandbookswap @kstadt929

Chuthulu always lying in wait...

I was incredibly surprised by this! It flows from black humor to horror easily, and it has this kind of claustrophobic writing that really gets under your skin. My favorite part is how the chapter opening furniture specs change as the story goes on.

Highly recommend for horror fans looking for a quick read!

@AmberWB I am so overwhelmed by your generosity, I hardly know what to say. 😭 I absolutely adore everything! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! 💜 #jb

Couldn't resist reposting this Facebook funny. Happy Friday!

@LA_Mead Ho Ho Horror 💚😱❤ Thank you for the #Nightmare4Christmas package! I can't wait to get reading. I loved The Girl with all the Gifts, I hear the follow up is good too. 😊

@teebe #n4c

I still can't handle being at the mall. Thanks, Grady Hendrix..

#BookHumor

I hate Ikea and so this was not such a far fetched premise for me. This book was not nearly as good as My Best Friend's Exorcism but still an enjoyable audiobook.
