The physical book itself is very interesting, it has a lot of images and style trying to copy an Ikea catalog.

The story is good, it starts feeling like SCP-3008 (the infinite IKEA) but then transforms more into the movie Grave Encounters.

The characters are solid, tho they can be a bit 2 dimensional, and there are 3 big loose ends that aren’t properly addressed.

Still, I completely devoured this book in 3 days and I recommend it to anyone who likes Horror and ikea.

I really wanted to love this one. The concept is genuinely clever and the way the book is designed like an IKEA catalogue is inspired. The first half had me hooked, eerie, playful, and genuinely fun to read.

Then it tipped into silliness. Once it did, it lost its edge for me and I found myself reading on because I wanted it finished. What started as sharp and inventive became over the top, and I stopped feeling any real tension.

It is a great idea with a strong start, but it did not come together for me in the end.

Overall, I didn’t mind this book, and the gimmick of it, looking like an IKEA catalogue was quite original, the story had a grip that kind of made you keep reading, but also lost a type of connection.
Overall, I wouldn’t not recommend a book, but reading this after my best friend exorcism is to see the authors progression .

Loved the unique concept; brilliant! The catalogue layout of the book really immersed me in “ORSK” and the dark humour had me chuckling. The plot itself was basic and the characters were lacklustre. For originality and a fantastic book design? 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Crept weird look at horror based on modern retail. Still has a personal touch and is a success. Enjoyable stand alone read.

This was my first exposure to Grady Hendrix. I enjoyed the pace and the presentation immensely

I can't say I will be going to an IKEA in the near future. It was a bit crazy, weird, and scary at the same time.

Ha sido divertido pero sin más. La historia en general es buena y tiene buen ritmo, pero el final ha flopeado.

Like most of his books, the first 3/4th of the book was great, but the last 1/4 made it drag on. 3.5 stars.

This book was so creative and fun to read. This was my first Grady Hendrix and I was impressed. Excited to read more of his stuff!
