This is about the experience of watching every horror movie ever, but set at Ikea. It's not very scary, but there is just something funny about watching a horror trope unfold, and then have vaguely Swedish sounding furniture names dropped mid sentence. It's overall more amusing than scary, and has some fun ways of making fun of corporate speech and attitudes. There were some cool features like images that I thought added a lot, though it's hard to describe why without spoilers. This book really is mostly worth reading if you really wanna read "the ikea horror book". That's about it.
