What an original concept - and it works! This was so much fun to read. Set out to emulate an Ikea catalogue, this horror story has its tongue set firmly in its cheek! But don’t despair, it has some truly scary moments, and I don’t think I’ll ever feel comfortable in an Ikea store again.
The story is your classic things-that-go-bump-in-the-night in an empty store. Our narrator, Amy, would at first appear to be a bit of a loser, but, of course, she finds inner strength to combat the forces of evil, and develop some empathy for her fellow co-workers along the way.
It’s hard to find scary stories that are suitable for lower high school students, and this is a beauty! So I can highly recommend it for high school libraries and anyone who loves a rollicking good story, with a few scares and a satisfying ending.A perfect stocking filler too!
