Horrorstör

Sometimes a horror story is just the thing. This one is set in a furniture megastore called Orsk, a thinly veiled version of IKEA. There's plently of sort-of-Swedish brand names of various products, a twisting maze store layout, and references to notoriously problematic assembly instructions. The stores employees have been experiencing weirdly ruined merchandise and spotted some strange characters in the store. This leads one floor manager to gather a few employees for an after hours late shift to try to figure out what's going on. Things go rapidly downhill from there. I loved the setting and the story zips along. It begins with a dark sense of humor and then gets into some typical horror stuff. Fun ride.

(Also of some amusement is that my 10-year-old daughter was very interested to hear my summary of the story. I wonder about that one.)
