Grady Hendrix’s “Horrorstör” is being developed for television, reports Deadline. Rights to the novel have gone to Gail Berman and Fox Networks Group’s production entity The Jackal Group.
The book is a little over a month old, it only hit online outlets and book shelves last month.
The publisher’s synopsis for the book goes like this:
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, theyll patrol the empty showroom floor, investigate strange sights and sounds, and encounter horrors that defy the imagination.
A traditional haunted house story in a thoroughly contemporary setting, Horrorstör comes packaged in the form of a glossy mail order catalog, complete with product illustrations, a home delivery order form, and a map of Orsks labyrinthine showroom.
Herman’s credits include Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. As always, stay tuned for more details on the Horrorstör series as it develops.
