Truly, an amazing book. I was skeptical going in, but Grady Hendrix always delivers. The only horror novel I have read so far to actually get a physical reaction out of me. The ads at the beginning of the chapters were a great choice. 5/5. Would recommend to everyone looking for a fun horror story.

if you go into this book knowing it’s a sillier thriller based on a parody of ikea, it’s a pretty good time. i think the ending was really well done.

Definitely unique and I love the commitment to the ikea catalog style. Ultimately the story left something to be desired. I don’t think Hendrix is for me as A novelist but this is his 2nd story of his I read that I think would make a great campy horror comedy movie.

Phasmophobia in an IKEA-like store. This was a quick and fun read. Not SUPER scary, but since I'm a chicken this is about as much horror as I can handle.
