This week, Travis and Amanda analyze the second half of HORRORSTOR, a novel by Grady Hendrix. Sure, we may be over a month late for spooky season, but, really, does corporate satire ever go out of style? We think not! Then again, does this novel's incredibly heavy-handed satire of big box corporate retailers succeed on intellectual or even entertainment grounds? We...may not be fully convinced. Join us as we discuss when character archetypes become boring, the haunting potential of a (somewhat?) wasted yet intriguing villain, and the origins of that brownish, reddish smelly gunk that just won't seem to come out of the carpet.
