Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 Horrorstor is basically a novel about a haunted IKEA. There's no romance in it, but it's relevant to the interests of the Bitchery in the sense that it's about a haunted IKEA, a concept that should strike mingled dread and delight in the soul of anyone who has every actually been to IKEA. 
 When it comes to horror I'm a lightweight. I thought this book was scary, but I think a lot of innocuous things are scary. Just because this book made me have a nightmare about a haunted store doesn't mean you will find it scary at all. The more over the top, gross, Grand Guignol moments are more horrifying than scary, because they are so far removed from our regular experience. But as someone who finds IKEA to be totally disorienting in real life, the early scenes in which Amy and Ruth Anne get lost in the showroom were incredibly spooky. 
 Fellow reviewer Amanda also liked the book, but she didn't find it particularly scary: "It's a little gross but it's got a nice blend of horror and humor, which is usually how I prefer it." 
 Even in the darkest moments, the absurdity of the situation adds some sardonic humor. It's hard not to giggle at a line like "They nailed me inside a Liripip" or a scenario in which someone's survival depends on disassembling cheap furniture with one of those weird Allen wrench things (Orsk calls them "magic tools" and luckily everyone who works there carries a bunch in their pockets, though usually that's so that they can put stuff together, not take stuff apart). 
 The main appeal to the book is the concept, not the characters, but I loved Basil, the manager whose character development I won't spoil, and the heroine, Amy, who starts off being pretty immature and shows her inner grit and compassion as the story develops. Ruth Anne is a great person with hidden depths.
