From Goodreads: 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.
A traditional haunted house story in a thoroughly contemporary setting, Horrorstör is designed to retain its luster and natural appearance for a lifetime of use. Pleasingly proportioned with generous French flaps and a softcover binding, Horrorstör delivers the psychological terror you need in the elegant package you deserve.

Ah, the horrors of working retail.
Amy is just trying to get through her shift without getting fired while working at Orsk. When she's called in by her manager, she fears the worst, but is asked to stay behind for an overnight shift to investigate the weird happenings in the store. Her manager Basil suspects the vandalism is likely the work of petty criminals or maybe bored teenagers. He is wrong.
This book is a whole experience. I cannot recommend enough reading the physical copy if you can. The book is formatted to resemble a catalog, and every page is just filled with so much attention to detail and realism. This novel reads both as a love letter to the horror genre (particular the paranormal!) and an honest examination and takedown of corporate America.
Truly horrifying at times yet also laugh out loud hilarious at others, Horrorstor is definitely worth the hype!
