Here's a place where you can shop till you drop…dead!

Deadline is reporting that The Jackal Group, a co-venture between Fox Networks Group and Gail Berman ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Angel"), has acquired Grady Hendrix’s recently released supernatural mystery novel "Horrorstör" for development as a television series.

Designed in the format of a furniture catalog, Horrorstör is described as…

…a classic old-fashioned haunted house story set in Orsk, a Swedish-style big-box furniture superstore. Each morning, Orsk employees arrive to find broken Kjërring bookshelves, shattered Glans glassware and vandalized Liripip wardrobes — clearly, someone or something is up to no good. To unravel the mystery, five employees agree to spend a long dusk-till-dawn shift at the store, unaware of the darkness that awaits them.

So it's kind of like a haunting in an Ikea store, huh? Ok, that's just crazy enough to work. I'm now curious to check out the book, which you can pick up HERE.
