This book is advertised as Stephen King meets the office.....It was more like Gremlins meets the office....and I loved it!! Set in the 80s, there are several cult classic mentions. Where many tend to over do the 80s, Shaffer captured the feel of this era perfectly...very nostalgic. Lussi, the main female protagonist, is immediately likable and relatable. Shaffer managed horror, humor, perfect pacing, and just enough character development in this slim book. A decent amount of background on the beast is fit in as well. My one gripe would be the lack of any real Christmas vibe. I love holiday horror and purchased this book for that reason. However, I completely forgot to care about this while reading, it was so good! Lussi interviews for a position at Blackwood-Patterson publishing, a firm with a reputation for dull, serious fiction that doesn't sell, yet somehow they are able to maintain a huge Gothic building in Manhattan. She quickly angers ancient Xavier Blackwood, who collapses right in front of her, and dies soon after, which a desperate Lussi turns into a job offer and a promotion from Blackwood's incompetent son. She's the head of the new horror department, but if she thought a bit of hazing would blow over, it's clear she has a lot to learn about her coworkers. Set in the 80's, this is a fun horror set over Christmas in NYC. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

This was a fun, quick read full of dark humor and blood. Shaffer, a well known satirist, blends old school, B-movie gore and sharp send-ups of office politics and the publishing industry. Fans of classic slasher novels will highly enjoy this book. ( )
