Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix
Hey, I read this book this afternoon. It's a pretty standard-issue Haunted Place horror story, but the Haunted Place is a downmarket IKEA knock-off. If you're worked retail (I have) or if you shop with any regularity at IKEA (I do) this book is laden with humorous Easter eggs, though I think most of what people who think is "witty" about Hendrix's novels is really something more like "arch." In the couple I've read, at least, there's a strong vibe of caricature and mockery.
