Why read it?
2 authors picked The Mall as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book took me to a twisted, hidden world full of very creepy scenes and characters, and since I worked in a mall for over a decade, showed me what true horror in a mall could be like.
The whole book is like being trapped in a strange nightmare, and the authors went to some twisted places to imagine what it would be like in their horror-mall. This book also kicks off the series, so there’s more to read after it.
From Dave-Brendon's list on speculative fiction by South African authors.
I love the fact this book was the first in a series of spooky stories that takes you into the shopping mall when the shutters are down and lights are off. It’ll make sure you never see shopping in a mall the same again. The ‘author’ is actually a partnership between a crime novelist and a holder of a post-religious apocalyptic fiction doctorate.
From Miya's list on for winning with the modern consumer.
