Garrett stopped by at a supermarket to pick up a few things and then to head home to his family. Little did he know that he would be walking into the supermarket of horrors. Not only is there freshly wrapped human limbs in the freezer it seems that escape isn't an option. Take a horror filled ride down the isles of Grueber's, and see what people will do in order to survive.I picked this book up thinking that it would be a nice read. I have found that most horror books don't really scare me or bother me at all. This book scared me bad, taking something as ordinary as a food store and making me never want to step foot into one ever again. Michael Bray has a gift for story telling, putting you inside the heads of a few different people and making you care about what is going to happen to them. Making you hope that they make it out of this alive. When you care about the characters in a book it makes it all the better.More then once I asked myself how I would have reacted if placed into a situation like that, and honestly I couldn't tell you. Half the time I would think that I would hold strong and try to escape, and the other half I would think that I would lose it and roam the isles with the rest of them. When a story makes you think like that you know it was good.The only thing I didn't like is that it reminded me a little of the movie The Mist, I have never read Stephen Kings book so I can't compare it to that, but the feeling of the movie was close to this story, only with different monsters. Other then that this book creeped me out hard core.Would I recommend it? Oh yeah I would, you never really want to watch a scary movie by yourself, same goes with a book. You need to spread that fear out to others so you can cope. Now if only I could convince myself that my local food stores are save to go into.
