From South Africa comes a truly creepy horror debut, widely praised for its originality, social commentary, and roller coaster twists Dan works at a mall bookstore where nothing ever happens. An angsty emo-kid selling mid-list books to mid-list people for minimum wage, he hates his job. Rhoda has dragged her babysitting charge to the mall so she can meet her coke dealer. Now the kid's run off, and she has two hours to find him. She hates her life. Rhoda bullies Dan into helping her, but as they explore the neon-lit corridors behind the mall, disturbing text messages lure them into the bowels of the building, where old mannequins are stored in grave-like piles and raw sewage drips off the ceiling. The only escape is down, and before long Dan and Rhoda are trapped in a service elevator--and it's not stopping at the bottom floor. Plummeting into the earth, Dan and Rhoda enter a sinister underworld that mirrors their worst fears.
If you are a fan of horror/psychological thrillers and aren't afraid to get into creepy detail this is the book for you! I love books by Stephen King and Susan Hill (along with many other authors) but this book definetly took me by surprise! I wasn't sure where it would lead, but after the first few chapters you get really curious about what the heck is going on. Definitely a quarter of the way through I was hooked and didn't want to put it down. I will check out the other books by S.L Grey. Well done for a horror novel.
