A little backstory for you readers: That is what happens in the small town of Juniper, Arizona as when the The Store is built it takes over the town and chokes out all the other stores leaving them like skeletons to wither away like dust in the wind. But the store is not what it seems and when things start happening within its walls is when things start to get really weird. Can the town survive and deal with The Store? No spoilers here as you will have to read the book! Lots of twists and turns along with some bloodshed to add flavor to this horror story as the author has a way of grabbing the reader and taking them for a spin in the recesses of his mind! Five stars for this one! Read in 2002 - pre-Goodreads I'm not a real big fan of Bentley Little, but I like the fact that the area in AZ that his stories take place in is familiar to me. This was a good horror premise - Wal-Mart is taking over the world!! Well, he calls it THE STORE and as we can soon see, THE STORE is the devil.
