Featured in our reading guides: Horror Is Allowed to Be Funny: 8 Books That Scare You and Make You Laugh and 13 Haunted House Books to Read This October
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 store in Cleveland. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken displays, damaged merchandise, and unexplained destruction scattered across the showroom floor. Security cameras reveal nothing. Customers are staying away. Management wants answers.
When a small group of employees volunteers to work an overnight shift and investigate the mystery, they discover that something far more terrifying than retail theft is hiding inside the store. As the night spirals into chaos, ORSK transforms from a familiar shopping destination into a nightmare.
Featuring a clever furniture-catalog design complete with illustrations and product pages that grow increasingly sinister throughout the story, this cult-favorite novel delivers both genuine scares and laugh-out-loud absurdity.
- Blends supernatural horror, haunted-house fiction, workplace satire, and dark humor
- Fast-paced suspense that escalates over a single terrifying night
- Unique catalog-style design with immersive illustrations throughout
Step inside ORSK and discover a horror novel that turns everyday retail nightmares into something far more terrifying.

Horrorstör delivers a crisp terror-tale... [and] Hendrix strikes a nice balance between comedy and horror.

Wildly inventive... Hendrix delivers both a palm-sweating horror story and a laugh-out-loud satire of retail.
Esquire
