Publisher's summary

“ATTENTION, SHOPPERS: Please hide at the back of the store immediately."

I'm at a Bluemart, on a diaper run with my kids, when I hear the message over the loudspeakers. The other shoppers descend into a panic. And so do I. There was a tornado warning earlier--is it about it hit us?

But as more messages come over the speakers, it seems to be something else entirely. Attention, shoppers: please stay out of sight of security cameras. Attention, shoppers: please hide all food and open wounds.

My husband, kids, and I scramble for a hiding place. But I hear something coming down the aisle, and I can't help thinking--

This is how we die.

Perfect for fans of Stephen King’s The Mist, Attention, Shoppers is full of twists and terror, all taking place over one night as shoppers find themselves trapped inside a big box store with something horrible. It is a full-length continuation of Blair Daniels' viral internet short story, "Attention Shoppers," which received millions of reads and 11,000 upvotes on Reddit's premier horror community, NoSleep.

Very cool storyline.

This was a great story. I love how it was told by many perspectives. It doesn’t seem that far off from what could really be.

Great Story!

This was a great read, but a poor listen. Virtual Voice is not ready for prime time. Mispronunciations, inconsistent pronunciations and it annoying pronounces punctuation. Books using this method of narration need to be edited by a human before release.

Virtual Voice Narration is Horrible

How this mess was ever released with what seems to be absolutely no editing is beyond me. This is my second go around with virtual voice and is even worse than the first one. Besides the monotone voice, the mispronunciations are over the top. Any word with an apostrophe comes out as some garbled mess that you can't even understand. I get it that this route is cheaper. Cheap it is. If this is the future of Audible then after many years of subscribing and paying a small fortune I will be moving on.

Virtual Voice crap

Audible needs to stop w this virtual voice nonsense. It makes every book sound soulless. So many words are just misspoken. Then how about how every apostrophe is SPOKEN. I’d rather have bad human narration than virtual voice.
