00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the WBZ book Club, Jordan. Here there's a

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>short list of great horror writers and one who doesn't

3
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:08.599
<v Speaker 1>get as much attention, but who belongs in that list

4
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.279
<v Speaker 1>is Bentley Little. He's written a series of chilling stories

5
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>filled with gore and suspense, all of which are tinged

6
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.399
<v Speaker 1>with satire about our Western culture and society. None does

7
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>this better than his book from the nineteen nineties called

8
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 1>The Store, a giant retail establishment with a generic name

9
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>that chooses a little town in Arizona for its new location.

10
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>It seems to offer everything the people want, but at

11
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>the expense of the small community businesses it buries. There's

12
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>an evil, supernatural conspiracy that powers the store, with a

13
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 1>bizarre hold on those who find employment there, and a creeping,

14
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 1>deadly feeling that the evil that appears benign at first

15
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>is waiting to pounce. Bentley Little's The Store. It'll have

16
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>you on the edge of your seat. And that's the
