Speaker 1: Welcome to the WBZ book Club, Jordan. Here there's a
Speaker 1: short list of great horror writers and one who doesn't
Speaker 1: get as much attention, but who belongs in that list
Speaker 1: is Bentley Little. He's written a series of chilling stories
Speaker 1: filled with gore and suspense, all of which are tinged
Speaker 1: with satire about our Western culture and society. None does
Speaker 1: this better than his book from the nineteen nineties called
Speaker 1: The Store, a giant retail establishment with a generic name
Speaker 1: that chooses a little town in Arizona for its new location.

Speaker 1: an evil, supernatural conspiracy that powers the store, with a
Speaker 1: bizarre hold on those who find employment there, and a creeping,
Speaker 1: deadly feeling that the evil that appears benign at first
Speaker 1: is waiting to pounce. Bentley Little's The Store. It'll have
Speaker 1: you on the edge of your seat. And that's the
