About this ebook
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires comes a hilarious and terrifying haunted house story in a thoroughly contemporary setting: a furniture superstore.
Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes. Sales are down, security cameras reveal nothing, and store managers are panicking.
To unravel the mystery, three employees volunteer to work a nine-hour dusk-till-dawn shift. In the dead of the night, they’ll patrol the empty showroom floor, investigate strange sights and sounds, and encounter horrors that defy the imagination.

...made to look like an Ikea catalog. Story was interesting and funny; gives the reader of how dreary working in retail can be like. Real kicker starts at the halfway mark. Thought it was just another paranormal type haunting, as I didn't want to read too much into the reviews. Pleasantly realised I was wrong. So. Very. Wrong. Now to get my hands on the printed version

Nice creep fest. Chilling yet funny imagery. Really captures the stress of retail hell. Douglas Coupland meets Hellraiser

Think Ikea meets Hellraiser. A definite page turner from start to finish. Well written and extremely entertaining. A must read.
