Horrorstor

I love me a good story and I had heard rave reviews about this book so I had to see for myself. This book also takes place in Cleveland, Ohio where I live so I double had to read this book.

This book is a parody of those big ass superstores you see. I had to admit it was spot on in the description. I laughed out loud more than once when reading this book.  I also loved the underlying premise of the ghost story that this book was supposedly based on. It has this prison thing where the inmates are stuck and have to do stuff like turning the crank until they are cured. I have no idea if the prison is a true story or if the author made it up, but it was fascinating to read.

 

The plot was really engrossing. I read this in one sitting. I loved the pictures of the torture machines. I kinda wished I read this in hardback instead of an ebook. I felt like I missed out by reading it in ebook format.

This would be a good read for the Halloween season. I have to admit when I read a horror story I get nervous that I will have bad dreams and such. This book was JUST scary enough to get that thrill but not so scary that you lay awake at night wondering if the monsters are out to get you.This review was originally posted on Adventures in Never Never Land
