About this listen
The Office meets Stephen King, dressed up in holiday tinsel, in this fun, festive, and frightening horror-comedy set during the horror publishing boom of the ’80s, by New York Times best-selling satirist Andrew Shaffer.
Out of work for months, Lussi Meyer is desperate to work anywhere in publishing. Prestigious Blackwood-Patterson isn’t the perfect fit, but a bizarre set of circumstances leads to her hire and a firm mandate: Lussi must find the next horror superstar to compete with Stephen King, Anne Rice, and Peter Straub. It’s the ’80s, after all, and horror is the hottest genre.
But as soon as she arrives, Lussi finds herself the target of her coworkers’ mean-spirited pranks. The hazing reaches its peak during the company’s annual Secret Santa gift exchange, when Lussi receives a demonic-looking object that she recognizes but doesn’t understand. Suddenly, her coworkers begin falling victim to a series of horrific accidents akin to a George Romero movie, and Lussi suspects that her gift is involved. With the help of her former author, the flamboyant Fabien Nightingale, Lussi must track down her anonymous Secret Santa and figure out the true meaning of the cursed object in her possession before it destroys the company - and her soul.

Silly pulp horror fun
A very meta love letter to the 80s horror book. The holiday twist is near and it's not exactly groundbreaking story wise but it's thoroughly enjoyable.

Loved it!
Absolutely loved this book. Great fun and a great way to pass a lazy Saturday afternoon. Would absolutely recommend for some pure, silly, gory escapism.

Meh
The narration is fine but the story is kind of stupid and the plot is fairly obvious.
Luckily it’s also quite short.

A good cheesey 80s horror
It's everything you want from the clichés and tropes of 80s horror but the ending feels a little rushed in places

Loved it!
I was getting more sad when seeing the time getting shorter on this audiobook, I didn't want it to end!
Highly recommend, love the plot, characters, and writing. I'm definitely going to be revisiting this book near Christmas time!

Very good
Really enjoyed it. Both the story after narration. Not quite a black comedy, but certainly lots of humour there. Reminded me a bit of Horrorstore.Would certainly recommend. Thank you
