I've already shared my opinion on Bentley Little as an author - he's an evil genius of bad dreams, and takes the "ewww-factor" to a new level with his writing. I'm not seeking out his books anymore (my stomach's not as strong as it used to be before I had my kids) but I did enjoy "The Store."
Imagine if Wal-mart was evil. Not evil like they are now... but really, actually evil. When a new branch of The Store opens up, birds drop dead from the sky in the parking lot. Customers find wares for sale you wouldn't traditionally find in a general big-box store. And then there's the night staff....
This book had a great premise, and I applaud Little for always pushing the envelope and finding new things in society to make scary. "The Store" is pretty horrifying in a number of scenes, but its like a train wreck - even though you know you should, you just can't look away.
