Thank you, and have a nice day …

I have really been enjoying a lot of horror novelizations lately and this one which is based on the 1986 movie “Chopping Mall” is one of the best I’ve read.
A group of high school students are trapped in the local mall and the newly implemented robot security malfunctions and the robots go on a killing spree. This is a fast-paced, action packed from start to finish and has plenty of blood and gore for fans of the eighties slasher genre. There was not a lot of character development but the story was interesting and the characters were likable and engaging.
I would recommend this book to all horror fans as well as a must read for fans of 80’s horror.
I listened to the audiobook and the narration done by Joe Hempel was excellent which made the overall experience awesome.
If you’re looking for a quick, fun read you can’t go wrong with this one!

retro horror that plays out just like the movie!

This is the novelization of a 1980's movie that plays out in your head while listening! a fun retro slasher full of excitement and plenty of gore. suspenseful and action packed! a quick listen that I enjoyed so so much!!!

Bloody good time!!

If you’re only stumbling on this novelization without prior knowledge of the ridiculous movie from the 80’s then buckle up!! What could go wrong with a security team of robots roaming the mall at night? Absolute chaos! These robots are blood thirsty and can’t differentiate between friend and foe. Sucks for the poor teens and young adults that decide to stay late to party in the mall. So much gore and so much cheese! Just shut your mind off and drift back into the 80’s for this fun quick listen!

Slasher, killer and thriller

Great slasher story that gives you 80/90 vibes. A novella so you can finish in one night and the anticipation of the story keeps you on edge from the start!! Go get this book when it releases!!

Exciting and entertaining!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is such a fun and entertaining horror story! This book is based on a 1986 movie, Chopping Mall. (I have not watched the movie.)
The book definitely does well in making the reader feel the reminiscence of 80’s slashers films.
At Park Plaza mall, robots have been hired to
work night security. After the robots short circuit, no one left in the mall is safe!
This is a really fun and quick read. Lots of killing, gore, suspense and excitement!
