HORRORSTOR: A NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码: 11186014B67665

English Summary/英文概要: Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Columbus, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring wardrobes, shattered Bräcken glassware, and vandalized Liripip sofabeds—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 they encounter horrors that defy imagination. Along the way, author Grady Hendrix infuses sly social commentary on the nature of work in the new 21st-century economy.

A traditional haunted house story in a contemporary setting (and full of current fears), Horrorstor comes conveniently packaged in the form of a retail catalog, complete with illustrations of ready-to-assemble furniture and other, more sinister accessories. We promise you’ve never seen anything quite like it!

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在俄亥俄州哥伦比亚市的一家奥尔斯克家具超级店里正发生着一系列奇怪的事件。每天早晨,店员们来到店里都会发现坏掉的谢灵归衣橱、散落四处的玻璃器皿,以及被随意破坏了的莉莉皮普沙发床---很显然,某人或者某种东西正心怀不轨。为了揭开其背后的秘密,五名年轻的雇员自愿进行了从黎明到黄昏的轮班---他们因此遭遇了超越想象的可怕经历。书中,作者格拉迪•亨德里克斯对21世纪新经济形式下的工作本质进行了巧妙的社论。《恐怖商店》是发生在现代背景之下的一部传统恐怖故事(充满了即时恐惧),巧妙的以一些列零售物品的形式拼在一起,加之随时就绪的家具插图的完善,并配置以许多更加邪恶的道具。我们坚信,你一定从未看过这样的恐怖故事!(DC)

Awards/获奖情况:HORRORSTÖR by Grady Hendrix hit 100,000 gross units!

"A fun horror novel....Enjoyable....There is a fair amount of workplace humor, but the book...will deliver enough scares for horror fans as well."--"Library Journal" "A very clever ghost story....the story is entertaining and the book itself is laid out like an Orsk catalog"--"Booklist" ."..a clever little horror story...the book starts as a Palahniuk-tinged satire about the things we own...turning the psychological manipulations and scripted experiences that are inherent to the retail experience into a sinister fight for survival. A treat for fans of The Evil Dead or Zombieland, complete with affordable solutions for better living." --"Kirkus Reviews"
