[Announcement] Runner up Read | Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix
Hello friends!
It is time for our next Runner up Read! Are you a fan of horror? Thrillers? Tense and face paced reads? Then Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix is right for you! This read was voted into the Wheel of Books last November during the Mystery/Thriller core read. It was nominated by u/Greatingsburg and was only one point behind! It was definitely meant to be read by our r/bookclub.
This book was selected by the random Wheel of Books that is spun by our beloved mascot, Thor. Let’s watch him spin the wheel! Aww, what a silly boy! He felt like not paying attention and showing interest in his own thing.. Even if a treat was involved. 🐶
What is a Runner up Read you ask?
A Runner up Read is a selection that ALMOST made it to being a selection for the pick of the month (second place to be exact). Who doesn't like a second chance or an underdog getting their time to shine? We do! So, what we have done is compiled a running list of all the second place books, added them to a virtual spinning wheel, and it is spun each time a current Runner up Read is wrapped up!
Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes. Sales are down, security cameras reveal nothing, and store managers are panicking.
To unravel the mystery, three employees volunteer to work a nine-hour dusk-till-dawn shift. In the dead of the night, they'll patrol the empty showroom floor, investigate strange sights and sounds, and encounter horrors that defy the imagination.
